Day 58: It's all about strategy

Ok, so I always know something is up with me when I get an inkling that I need to pull out this album and crank it. Today was one of those days. Whenever I'm sad, this is the perfect music to let me wallow. it's strangely comforting and has been my go to music for 12 years now.

SFK always remind me of mid-late teens and some wonderful people I was close friends with back then. I think there are really 3 bands that have been 'big' to me and been a part of my life for a long time - SFK, Grinspoon (who already have a post on this blog) and Powderfinger (who will no doubt be getting their own post soon with the release of their album in November.

My fave song from this album is Strategy. Not sure why, but something about it speaks to me.

Strategy - SFK

what's wrong?
nothing, nothing
an unwelcome reception to the million dollar question
a reflex reaction
right back at you
it's your face, it's that same blank expression
you can blame it on the weather
or blame it on tension but
there's no rest from this paralysis
strategy
it's all about strategy
not what you're telling me
what you're telling me
you eat, you sleep and you breathe
and you tick off your list of personal needs
at night for protection you hide under a sheet
and we try to avoid confrontation
but everything we do just gets lost in the translation
and you're not helping yourself any
strategy
it's all about strategy
not what you're telling me
what you're telling me
i've found that descriptions are useless
nothing but the combination of words and numbered pieces
just assume that there is good reason for everything
so, what's wrong?
it's nothing again
nothing's what you've got when everything leaves you thought
that asking would get you somewhere
some fool you were (x2)
strategy
it's all about strategy
not what you're telling me
what you're telling me
memory
you say it's my memory
you say that my memory's bad
well i remembered that
didn't i? (x2)
