My Bloody Valentine - Sometimes
Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know how you could not love me now
You will know, with her feet down to the ground
Over there, and I want true love to grow
You can't hide, oh no, from the way I feel
Turn my head
Into sound
I don't know when I lay down on the ground
You will find the (way it) hurts to love
Never cared, and the world turned hearts to love
We will see, oh now, in a day or two
You will wait
See me go
I don't care, where your head turned (I don't know)
You will wait, when I turn my eyes around
Overhead when I hold you next to me
Overhead, to know the way I see
Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know, maybe you could not hurt me now
Here alone, when I feel down too
Over there, when I await true love for you
You can hide, oh now, the way I do
You can see, oh now, oh the way I do
“Sometimes” is the closest thing to a ballad My Bloody Valentine ever came to creating. The distorted guitars backed up by subdued percussion and rising organs create a dreamy, atmospheric sensation, complemented by Kevin Shields‘ softened lyrics. This ambience is common throughout "Loveless", but is taken to the extreme on “Sometimes.”
