"Kristinar"
Howie Day
Australia

Nmber of listens: ||
Stars (out of 5): 3

Howie Day cannot have experienced the things he writes/sings about. If so, he has led the most romantic yet tragic young life ever. That said, this song just goes in his long line of sweet and heartbreaking songs that I love.

It is very simple, just guitar and voice. No big melody or hook that jumps out, I think it is more about his voice in this one. I know that this song is a favorite of many Howie Day fans and I can totally see why. If a song could be described as "naked" then I would use it now. I'm only giving it 3 stars though because I think it is a "live" song that would really come alive then. Ironically, I don't think he often plays this live. Go figure!



On the phone to saturday
where did you go?
’cause the tequila from your kiss is still around
and you’re down
to remind me
i know that you’re away
but you’re not gone

reeling inside
she wants to call
she can spin my motivation
like a record off the wall
don’t you try
for anyone but yourself?
you do for me - don’t you

i can feel it in your mind
kristina falls down to the floor
she is fine and it’s alright
she said you’re broken drowned and drunk
no one had ever felt like she did before
before you

did you know
that if you go
down to planeside
i will be there waiting for you
at the top of the stairs
and you will be so beautiful
