칼라는 1997년 뉴욕에서 결성된 포스트 록 그룹. 그 높은 실험성과 대중적인 멜로디 라인이 돋보이는 사운드로 인해 마니아들의 사랑을 독차지하며 지금껏 활동을 이어오고 있는 그들은 인디적 작법에 기반하면서도 마치 포스트 엔니오 모리꼬네를 연상케하는 광활한 사운드스케이프를 시범, 특히 평단으로부터 고평을 받았다. 2007년 발표한 본 앨범은 그러한 칼라의 음악적 특수성이 제대로 발현된 수작으로 벌써부터 언론매체의 박수를 받고 있다. 벌써부터 인기몰이에 한창인 인디 록 신의 최신 화제작. 그들의 높은 명성을 재확인해주는 동시에, 손색이 없는 완성도를 그려내고 있다. .... ....
I have it planned in my mind I'm comin' at you from behind When your guard is down When you least expect it I'm gonna find out a way For me to wallow in your ways And idolize from the inside
I'll learn to deal with your kind Manipulate the divine And sanctify... have patience
You'll never know I was there I'm gonna catch you unaware I sympathize cut you down to size
Merciful cold cold hands I feel for you simply because you're mine... I need you I beg you... Forgive you
All for you. By default For you all this It's all, all for you My fall for you
I serve you wild and full of grace, you see it written on her face You know they lock her door from the outside A subtle smile you couldn't place 'cause it was slapped off of her face Whose patience then is it that's being tested?
No harm There's no harm done Besides, there's no harm There's no harm done
I wonder how you coexist, this place they'd better get dismissed If she is not the one who sees things that way They've said it once, they'll say it again, will this frustration ever end? Time and time again, they say you did this
No harm There's no harm done Besides, there's no harm There's no harm done
It seems so never-ending, I'm tired of compromising you Your praise is condescending, who ends up sacrificing all I put in all this effort, I put in all this effort And this is now or never, and this is now or never, oh
Leave me all alone, this is what I want I could fend for us of carry on Leave me all alone, this is what I want I could fend for us of carry on

There's no harm done, no harm at all, dear There's no harm done
Can you admit to yourself? Can you confess to me when in doubt? Turn to nobody else Don't turn the argument inside out
'Cause you are perfect Accused and so strung out So strung out
Can you [Incomprehensible] yourself? Just look long and hard You're looking sickly pale Do you consider yourself?
'Cause you ain't perfect And I knew this from the start If I knew there was something I never would've let you go I never would've let you go Let you go, let you go
'Cause you ain't perfect And I knew this from the start If I knew there was something I never would've let you go
'Cause you ain't perfect And I knew this from the start If I knew there was something I never would've let you go
