Jane Siberry can only
be said to be an example of the truly unique. The lyrics of her songs vary from
surreal to wistful and much of her music has become part of my existence on
many occasions. In particular, "The Walking"(And Constantly) has come
to mean a lot to me.
Below is a selection of quotes from some of her songs.
- i want a table. no, just for one
- start alone end alone. so my love i guess i'm glad i met you on the way.
- every now and then things become clear
- all i know is something touched me
- i went to say i love you but instead i said goodbye
- the walking and constantly
an endless stream of endless dreams
that wheel and roll just past my shoulder
- i was sure until they asked me, now i don't know
- there's nothing that will bring
you back
there's nothing that will change this fact
there's nothing that i will take back
- if you want someone to love you just let me know
- hope you have your camera
hope you have some paper
because if no one gets this down
then it's gone forever
- i want to live forever
i fear maybe you don't
i fear that i will lose you
leave me here to carry on alone
- i don't know why it moves me
maybe i'm going to die soon
- there's no light. and there isn't because... it's so dark.
- i'm crying because i love you
i know that things must change
i can't be there when you leave
what if you're afraid
- love is missing - all the words are broken, help me, i cannot find my way
- love will you let us know when it's time, when we can leave this darkness behind?
- this is the elevator, i press
all the buttons
every floor is different, a different number anyway
- love is a strange thing, it depends what one gives
