All For You
Performed by Sister Hazel
Written by K Block and Sister Hazel
A little Jangle Pop out of Gainesville? Why not?
Sister Hazel (Williams) was a missionary that ran a homeless shelter. Why they guys took that name, well, that’s not on the Wiki page. What I did find, was what I already knew. They’re an alt rock band that doesn’t sound like most alt rock of the day. They’re less punky and more perky with that whole jangle pop thing going for them. And their lyrics are happy, another thing that sets them apart.
Honestly, listening to this piece, I keep waiting for John Popper’s harmonica to jump in. Oh, wrong band? Well, this is the one with that really obnoxious guy that got dubbed the next Van Morrison (one sha la la does not make you Van) and then covered up a Joni Mitchell classic, right? Oh, still wrong. Okay, did they lose their minds on Allison Road? Still wrong? Well, shit. This is what I get for finding the one (practically) one-hit-wonder from the mid 90s era of Jangle Pop
Enough with the bashing. All the good things about the style are covered here. Beautiful guitar work, strong vocal harmonies, and a generally pleasant rhythm. The lyrics are that of a person that’s seen way too much and is finally, undeniably in love. And while it may feel like nothing they do is enough, dedication will win out.
This is actually a sweet song, and it’s one I wish I had someone to sing it to. I really miss the feeling of being blissfully in love. I know that this is out there for me, I’ve found it once, and I can find it again.
Finally I figured out
But it took a long, long time
But now there’s a turnabout
Maybe ‘cause I’m trying
There’s been times, I’m so confused
All my roads, They lead to you
I just can’t turn and walk away
It’s hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I’ll always be with you
But words can’t say, And I can’t do
Enough to prove,
It’s all for you
I thought I’d seen it all
'Cause it’s been a long, long time
But then we’ll trip and fall
Wondering if I’m blind
There’s been times, I’m so confused
All my roads, They lead to you
I just can’t turn and walk away
It’s hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I’ll always be with you
But words can’t say, And I can’t do
Enough to prove,
It’s all for you
Rain comes pouring down
Falling from blue skies
Words without a sound
Coming from your eyes
Finally I figured out
But it took a long, long time
But now there’s a turnabout
Maybe cause I’m trying
There’s been times, I’m so confused
All my roads, They lead to you
I just can’t turn and walk away
It’s hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I’ll always be with you
But words can’t say, And I can’t do
Enough to prove,
It’s all for you
It’s hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I’ll always be with you
But words can’t say, And I can’t do
Enough to prove,
It’s all for you
It’s hard to say
It’s hard to say
It’s all for you
