Lay Around the Truth

I'm crazy bout this song, from The Jealous Girlfriends. It was featured in the L Word Episode 9 in Season 2. Once of my favourite episodes and the song just nailed it on the spot. The soft spot of my heart.

Lay Around by The Jealous Girlfriends

When I found this
My language in a way
I began to speak
And my soul was free
On a gust of inspiration

She was soaring over the walls built with shame
and self doubt, and a midnight curfew
A form I had not yet seen engulfed me...

I was standing on the deck
in the rain listening to jazz
Smoking a reefer cigarette
and I swear I swear
I didn't think of you once

But I thought maybe
Love is what you've been missing
Cause love is not what you've been giving
Maybe getting is all you've known till now
Or maybe you've forgotten how

He said "do you write for you or other people?"
I said "other people"
I said "I want them to see the beauty
that I can but just can not seem to touch,
which is only a metaphor for all of us."
I said "I think I'm trying to capture a moment
I think my whole life I've been trying
to capture that moment"
He said "one thing you can be sure of,
is that you never will"

I thought maybe
Love is what I've been missing
Cause love is not what I've been giving
Maybe getting is all I've known till now
Or maybe I never even learned how

"Lets try and keep things out
of the space that divides."
You said "the cracks between where we lie"
And we lie around so much,
we lie around, yes we lie around
We lie around, we just lay around the truth.
So much.

Until you are...
Getting, getting, getting, getting, going, gone!
You are...
Getting, getting, getting, getting, going, gone.
You are...
Getting, getting, getting, getting, going, gone.
You are...
For your love, for your love, for your love.

Cause I don't want to wait today for your love.
No, no, no, no.
I don't want to wait today for your love.

The Jealous Girlfriends make it work. The Brooklyn four-piece pull together the tunefulness of Anglo New Wave and BritPop, the aggression and energy of Washingtonian indie rock – both district and state - and infuse it all with a little soul, working an alchemy that transforms these base musical elements into songs crackling with tension and excitement that are instantly memorable while revealing something new with every listen.

Overtop a rhythmic foundation laid down by drummer Michael Fadem, Josh Abbott and Holly Miranda’s buzzsaw guitars carom and careen against Alex Lipsen’s square wave synths as their voices duet and duel overtop in tones that are playful and plaintive, menacing and mesmerizing. It’s this potent lineup that has crafted their eponymous album following a 2005 debut mini-album featuring only Miranda and Lipsen

P/S:- Holly Miranda replied my message on Myspace which I sent to her personal account and Mike Fadem replied the message I sent to their official myspace page. Muahahahaha. Bangga jadik fanatic fan!
