이번 앨범의 타이틀 곡인 ‘Who Do I Love’는 다가오는 봄을 알리는 듯한, 강렬하면서도 경쾌한 기타 리프 위에 Above Envy 의 보컬인 Glenna Breed 의 목소리가 산뜻하게 묻어 있는 곡이다. 이 밖에도 앨범의 분위기를 차분하게 잡아주는, Louis Yoelin이 노래한 ‘Your Little World’와, Glenna Bree의 우울한 목소리가 인상적인 ‘She Sleeps in Clouds’, ‘She Sleeps in Clouds’의 연주곡 버전이 함께 수록되어 있다. .... ....
(v1) Well you can lead the way down a path of danger And you can put your life on the line for a cause And you can say to me to never follow in your footsteps You can ask me why I won’t leave it’s because
(chorus) Who do I love, who do I share the test of time Who will I never leave behind, baby I love you Who do I love, who will I kiss for ever more Promise I’ll die for my adore, baby I love you
(v2) In such a troubled place, such a face will ring true To turn a glimpse of hope into lasting glory And I will follow you despite yourful careful warnings And we will carry through till we fly with the doves
(repeat chorus)
(bridge) No, they’ll never stop the fire we made that burns away their walls They’ll never break the bridge will built to never let us fall Our world will never have to be this way Our happiness will live beyond our days
(verse 1) Close the door, I’ll be there Counting all the days forever Lie some more to yourself To my face of a place that you never were You are safe in your dreams Cuz no one ever seems to really care And it’s gonna make you scream, cuz baby
(chorus) I’ll never fake, I’ll never take, I’ll never break your little world You’ll never be, you’ll never see, you’ll never be that little girl Now it’s a shame you know it’s true, so come on back I’m waiting for you
(verse 2) It’s over now, come inside You’ve been waiting for a while Don’t be scared and try to hide Step inside never know what can make you smile Closer now there you are Maybe someday soon you’ll try To open up your eyes, cuz baby
(repeat chorus)
(bridge) Tell me now you’re gonna change You’re gonna step outside and rearrange There’s nothin’ there except the rain, rain, rain You’re right in front of me
(verse 1) Hey where you goin’? It’s 6am Where you goin’? Nowhere to go, swagger bones Someone’s goin’ home alone
(chorus) She sleeps in clouds Far, fun, and warm The time is always now It’s what she’s sad about Time
(verse 2) Same city walk, ‘round the block Goin’ home Smile and say goodbye, it’s one more night Living in a pill box
(repeat chorus)
(bridge) Do ya know me? You don’t know me Every day any way, yah you knew me When your lonely, we’re all lonely Take the leap go ahead, someone’s coming home
