Dan Andriano
"I wanna shake you down
And drag you like a cigarette
No, I ain’t smoked in years
But the thought still gets my lips wet
Now, easy does it, was easy as it was to quit
But I think I met my match
How am I ever gonna get you licked
Going, going, gone away
From the only place I ever want to stay
This road gets lonelier everyday
I already asked you to wait
So how much more of me can you take?
I wanna light you up
Take you deep inside my lungs
Where maybe you could shine your light inside
On all the damage that I’ve done
Maybe one day we might just get me fixed
Or, at least better understand why I’m always getting sick
No don’t go away
You’re the only face I ever want to see
I hope one day soon you can depend on me
For more than just my ups and downs
More than just these shaky hands and hollow sounds"
- the hollow sounds
ive loved alkaline trio since the very first song id heard by them. pretty sure it was 'radio'. i remember listening to all of their music, everything i could get my hands on. then matt skiba's solo stuff. good fucking bye was quite the anthem for me for a few months a couple years ago. actually, 'radio' was too. ha. i never really got in to the people behind the songs. i knew matt skiba because of derek, but i just assumed he was the only singer. i remember saying to paul once that i thought sometimes matt skiba sang like he had a lisp and those were my favorite of the alk3 songs. paul looked at me. and said very seriously, 'you know there is two singers right?'
oops. thank god for dan andriano. his voice, his soul, his passion. his solo stuff is so melodic and simple and pleasing to listen to. 'this light' has brought me to tears on more then once occasion. but 'hollow sounds' is so sexual and easy and i get lost in the sound of it. he's just begging to be given a chance, the entire album is like a letter to this woman who just either doesn't see his heart or his motives for what they are. and he is pleading and praying and putting everything he has out there for just a chance.
