about

When something doesn't work you've got to let it go. Sometimes its the ingrained compassion of human nature that blurs the lines between caring for someone and hurting them and we can't always tell the two things apart. So... that's what this song is about.

lyrics

It's not my place
To laugh or condescend
To influence your plans
Or issue out demands
But if I can't speak my mind
What else can I do?

And what chance now
When even love and peace
Have become a niche
and happiness a lease
That we neither can afford
Or make time for

We've come from different worlds
And though we've tried something has died
And I cant be forced to cry

Often times
We don't see wrong from right
We cannot help but fight
Long into the night
Never manage to resolve

When you live like that
You grow to twisted shapes
Just trying to escape
The shadows and restraints
Losing sight of what it was
You set out for

We've come from different worlds
And though we've tried something has died
And I cant be forced to cry

You've talked so much
And I've had my two cents
But I'm still on the fence
I fear the consequence
Of repeating past mistakes
So, what should I do?

We've come from different worlds
And though we've tried something has died
And I cant be forced to cry

Though we've tried something has died
And I cant be forced to cry

James M Carson Manchester, UK

Not unlike music from the hills of 70s Laurel Canyon, Carson's songs evoke shadows of simpler times when the quest for melody was king. James has been influenced by the melodic melancholy and intimate lyricism of singer songwriters like Neil Young and Elliott Smith, but equally entranced by the power pop hooks of bands such as Teenage Fanclub as well as their grunge admirers, Nirvana. ... more
