Some of my favorite bands are the ones that I don't like at first and Sunny Day Real Estate was no exception. I bought their "How it feels to be something on" CD after a lot of my friends recommended it and at first I didn't get it and gave it away the next day. A few months later my friend gave it back to me (she didn't like it either) I gave it one last listen and then it just clicked. They quickly became one of my favorites and a bunch of us even went up to watch them play at the Glass House (Pamona, Ca) later that year. Unfortunately they broke up after one last release but they left a bunch of great tunes and their singer Jeremy Enigk still puts out good records. Check it out......

Meet me there
In the blue
Where words are not
Feeling remains
Sincerity
Trust in me
Throw myself into your door
I go
In circles
Running down
In circles
Im running down
In circles
Running down
In circles
Running down
Meet me there
In the blue
Where words are not
Feeling remains
And I dream
To heal your wounds
But I bleed myself
I bleed myself

how is it you feel?
I remember you at the top of my room
all these things we wondered how to hide
see how it works when
all the day long in a bottle of mud
all these fears we wondered how to hide our love
how is it you feel when you run?
ships won't come in in a bottle of mud
all this time looking for love and
you want to find peace
but you find me
mandrary fields where we run
see how it works with a bottle of rum
all this time hiding from death
and we want to be strong
but we find the true story
a tale
writing itself as we sail
a story
a tale
writing itself as we wail
oh no
never again my dear
shall we come dancing here
we'll play guitar and video games
what if we refused to follow the rules of fashion?
tell me something you'd tell a fool
ways to refuse to follow the rules of fashion
how is it you feel when?
remember you in the top of my room
all these things remade me and caused
to be something grand
never again shall we
come dancing in the sea
we'll play guitar for a new [x2]
we'll play guitar and video gam

River to sea
There we will be
I've found my place
Where I have longed to be
I can't erase any mistake
But I can outgrow
Rivers of love will flow
Turn around
Your life is in your hands
Nowhere to be
Found plenty things to be
Unleashing hell
Each time the answers fell
I cannot change any man's hate
But I can make known
Forgiving waters that flow
Turn around
Your life is in your hands
Don't mean you won't wake from the dead
It don't mean you can't
It don't mean you you can't wake from the dead
Don't mean you can't
