Honestly
Written by fredward on December 2nd, 2003I believe
I believe the love you talk about with me
Is it true? Do I care, honestly?
You can try to wipe the memories aside
But it’s you that you erase
‘Cause there’s no place that I could be without you
It’s too far to discard the life I once knew, honestly
All the weather storms I bring are just a picture of my reach
‘Cause when I think of you as mine and allow myself the time
To lead into the lives we want
I feel love honestly
I feel love, it’s honestly
I believe you mean the best that life can bring
I believe in it all, honestly
You can try, your heart is just as long as mine
Is it ours to let go?
‘Cause there’s no place that I could be without you
It’s too dark to discard the life I once knew, Honestly
I take you on this heart I love
To cover up the pain in us
‘Cause when I think of you as mine and allow myself the time
To lead into the lives we want
I feel love honestly
I’ll make the jokes that you must laugh
I’ll break your heart, so you must ask
Is this the way to get us back?
I don’t know, honestly
I don’t know, it’s honestly
There’s no place that I could be without you, honestly
That above was Zwan - Honestly
In case you haven’t heard of Zwan it’s Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlain, Dave Pajo, Matt Sweeny and Paz. Honestly is their first single. As soon as they’re within 8 hours i’m going!!
I just love Billys writing style, it’s nothing like the pumpkins but his twang is just so familiar to me i’m comforted by it.. Plus Jimmys distinctive drumming puts me at ease. The rest of the band I’m not that familiar with but I love the way they all play an integral role. It’s beautiful
Sometimes I feel I love Smashing Pumpkins/Zwan/Billy more than anything else.. I’ve yet to figure out why. Sure they’re music is great but that’s not all there is to it, is it?
Throughout Billys continuing metamorphosis (from Gish (i didn’t really get into the Marked) til Honestly (title of zwans first album)) I can relate his lyrics I can either always identify with or something in them makes me think, makes me question the way the world works.. and makes me ask what I can do to improve it
after all
we’re in the revolution
