leaving new york

• ruyamda grup uyelerinin cikmadan once ilk kez bana dinlettigi sarki (biraz drive a benzetmistim). uyaninca unuttum melodiyi allah kahretmesin. klibini de grubun 96 tarihli e bow the letter videosuna benzettigim sarkidir. michael stipe'da ise forrest gump tandansi sezinliyor, beyaz takim elbisesinden de bilahare edinmek istiyoruz.
  sarki drive'a benzemiyormus, ruyamda keklemisler beni. ya da bir uzvum acikta kalmis.
  
  ilgililere not: peter care denilen yonetmen sahsiyet ise ayni grubun drive, man on the moon ve whats the frequency kennethadli videolarini cekmistir. kimbilir daha ne haltlar etmistir.

  you might have laughed if i told you
  you might have hidden the frown
  you might have succeeed in changing me
  i might have been turned around
  it's easier to leave than to be left behind
  leaving new york never easy
  i saw the light fading out
  (the life fading out)
  
  seklinde olan rem parcasi
• son albümleri around the sun'ın up albümlerindeki sounda yakın bir soundta gerçekleştiridiği etkisini veren ilk single.
• her zamanki gibi süper bir video'yla taçlandırılmış bir o kadar süper bir r.e.m şarkısı. bir de hüznü bana daysleeper'ı hatırlattı, aldı götürdü 4-5 sene evveline de şu güzel çarşamba sabahını bombok edip bıraktı afedersiniz...
  
  it's easier to leave than to be left behind,
  leaving was never my proud...^*
• arkada bıraktığınız biri olmasada^*, olduğuna inanmak isteyip kendinize yalan söylesenizde, dönüş yolunda^* değişime direnmenin^* iyi yanından bakmaya kendinizi zorlamanın anlamsız olduğunu ispat eden yalnızlık^* ağıtı.. yolculuğa eşlik etmesi tavsiye edilmeyen, sağlıklı düşünmeyi zorlaştıran r.e.m şarkısı..
• remin hala sapasağlam ayakta olduğunu ispatlayan kanımca 2004ün en iyi şarkılarından biri.
• neden bilmiyorum (belki michael stipe'tan dolayidır) yaşanan aşkın eşcinsel bi aşk olduğunu yüzüme buram buram çarpan rem parçası.
• acikli, sanki gercekten new yorktaymisim da tasiniyormusum, gunlerim acisiyla, tatlisiyla sona eriyormus gibi hissettiren bir hos sarki
• (bkz: leaving las vegas)
• sözleri itibariyle bünyede hüzün yaratan güzeller güzeli şarkı. (bkz: rem)
  
  it's quiet now
  and what it brings
  is everything
  
  comes calling back
  a brilliant night
  i'm still awake
  
  i looked ahead
  i'm sure i saw you there
  
  you don't need me
  to tell you now
  that nothing can compare
  
  you might have laughed if i told you
  you might have hidden a frown
  you might have succeeded in changing me
  i might have been turned around
  
  it's easier to leave than to be left behind
  leaving was never my proud
  leaving new york, never easy
  i saw the light fading out
  
  now life is sweet
  and what it brings
  i tried to take
  but loneliness
  it wears me out
  it lies in way
  
  and all not lost
  still in my eyes
  the shadow of necklace
  across your thigh
  i might've lived my life in a dream, but i swear
  this is real
  memory fuses and shatters like glass
  mercurial future, forget the past
  it's you, it's what i feel.
  
  you might have laughed if i told you (it's pulling me apart)
  you might have hidden a frown (change)
  you might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)
  i might have been turned around (change)
  
  it's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
  leaving was never my proud (change)
  leaving new york, never easy (it's pulling me apart)
  i saw the light fading out
  you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
  you find it in your heart, change...
  
  i told you, forever
  i love you, forever
  i told you, i love you
  i love you, forever
  i told you, forever
  you never, you never
  you told me forever
  
  you might have laughed if i told you
  you might have hidden the frown
  you might have succeeded in changing me
  i might have been turned around
  
  it's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
  leaving was never my proud (change)
  leaving new york never easy (it's pulling me apart)
  i saw the life fading out (change)
  leaving new york, never easy (it's pulling me apart)
  i saw the light fading out (change)
  leaving new york never easy (it's pulling me apart)
  i saw the life fading out (change)
