"De toutes les faces B, c'est sans doute mon plus gros regret. Je pense n'avoir pas passé énormément de temps dessus alors que la chanson le mérite car il n'y a qu'une petite évolution par rapport à la démo. Elle aurait probablement dû faire partie de l'album. J'adore le feeling et l'atmosphère qu'elle dégage, ainsi que la guitare avec l'effet qui change l'oscillation en fonction du signal d'entrée (plus vous frappez fort, plus l'oscillation est rapide). Les pistes de base ont été enregistrées pendant les sessions de Mellon Collie."
"Of all the B-sides, this song is probably my biggest regret. I never spent as much time on it as it probably deserved, with this version showing very little improvement from the demo. This one probably should have made the album. I love its feeling and atmosphere, the warbly guitar courtesy of an effect that changes oscillation in ratio to signal input (the harder you hit it, the faster it goes). The basic tracks were recorder during the Mellon Collie sessions."

Paroles / Lyrics


cherry stay with me i'll set you free
cause i can tell you once were pretty
rose so sad you've lost your petals
and lost the luster off your tattle tales

i need a love to help me find my way
i need a strength that i can not betray
i need a word to say what i can't say
i need a lover

what are we waiting for?
time has lost it's hold on me

hatred sleeps inside my bones
in the stillness of cool air
all the boys have been left for dead
cause we go where they fear to tread
the beautiful one's the one's we'll remember
the precious one's our greatest pretenders

i need a love to help me find my way
i need a strength that i can not betray
i need a word to say what i can't say
i need a lover

and if you lose yourself
could you take me too
could you rest inside the sleep

stay with me i'll set you free from you
