Sometimes - My Bloody Valentine

[D] Close my eye 
[F#m7] Feel me now
[Bm7] I don't know, will you 
[G] could not love me now
[F#] You will know, that I feel
[E] tied to the ground
[D] Over there, and I 
[E] learned through life to love
[D] You can hide, 
[F#m7] opened eyed 
[Bm7] or the way I dream. 
[D]

[D] Turn my head
[F#m7] into sound
[Bm7] I don't know but I 
[G] laid down on the ground
[F#] You will find your 
[E] hand held hurts to love
[D] Never cared, and your 
[E] world turned hearts to love
[D] You will sleep, 
[F#m7] open eyed on the 
[Bm7] way I dream 
[D]

[D] You will wait
[F#m7] See me go
[Bm7] I don't care, I knew 
[G] her type all along
[F#] You will wait, and I 
[E] turn my eyes around 
[D] Hold my head and I 
[E] hold you next to me.
[D] Hold your hand 
[F#m7] to my eyes on the 
[Bm7] way I sleep.
[D]

[D] Close my eyes.
[F#m7] Feel me high
[Bm7] I don't know, but you 
[G] could not love me now.
[F#] You and I, and I
[E] feel down too
[D] Over there, and I learned 
[E] true love from you.
[D] You can hide, 
[F#m7] opened eyed, or
[Bm7] the way I dream.
[D] You will sleep 
[F#m7] opened eyed, on the way
[Bm7] I dream.

No Picture Kevin Average	#1 by Kevin turbyfill at Jan 8, 1972 at 5:38 AM EST
	pushing and pulling, and eventually he gives up and she understands the pain of completely loving someone who will not give the love in return. you can see, now, the way i do.

No Picture kyle Badass	#2 by kyle .,., at Jul 1, 1975 at 3:38 AM EST
	Sofia Coppola's use of this adn Kevin Shields in 'Lost in Translation' was genius.

No Picture Shreder Dude Wanna Be	#3 by Shreder Dude at Oct 29, 1977 at 11:20 PM EST
	I love this song. No idea what hes going on about!

No Picture Zac Wanna Be	#4 by Zac Fielder at Mar 20, 1980 at 12:27 PM EST
	Dream pop isnt the same thing as shoegazing

No Picture Reece Wanna Be	#5 by Reece Brown at Dec 10, 1983 at 7:30 PM EST
	nice song

No Picture ian Average	#6 by ian mckinly at Jan 3, 1986 at 11:04 PM EST
	but he doesn't actually give up, he just relegates himself to existing "over there," where he waits in isolation. this song just makes me feel so heavy and light all at once.

No Picture Grunge Hamster Lead Player	#7 by Grunge Hamster at May 21, 1986 at 8:52 PM EST
	After seeing Lost in Translation I fell in love with this song. Whenever I hear it, I just want to fall in love...

No Picture Drake Average	#8 by Drake Bergman at Sep 13, 1990 at 8:47 PM EST
	Shampoo suicide i think your definately right about the 4th line such a great song the whole lost in translation soundtrack is great the piece by air "Alone in Kyoto" is really great i fall asleep listening to it sometimes lol

No Picture Maggot Man Wanna Be	#9 by Maggot Man at Mar 28, 1992 at 12:41 PM EST
	One of my favorite songs. My Bloody Valentine pioneered dream-pop (also known as shoe-gazing), and this is one of the best examples of the genre. Btw - regarding Coppola's use of it in 'Lost in Translation' - Kevin Shields, the leader singer and genius behind My Bloody Valentine, did the wonderful score for Lost in Translation.

No Picture Ryan Average	#10 by Ryan Noffke at May 4, 1996 at 8:47 PM EST
	feels like the moment you discover you love someone

No Picture Joe Average	#11 by Joe Blurton at Apr 12, 1999 at 5:16 AM EST
	agreed. definitely a perfect song to blend in with the Tokyo city lights and buildings as they are passing by.. i feel it really needed that image though, listening to it now it doesn't really do as much for me as it did int he movie

No Picture Lenny Judd (Pap Wanna Be	#12 by Lenny Judd (Papa Smurf) at Jul 11, 2000 at 11:51 AM EST
	I don't know the true lyrics, but this is what I hear: 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 turn hearts 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, when you're head turned all around 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 love me now Here alone, and I feel down too Over there, and I wait true love for you You can hide, oh now, the way I do You can see, oh now, oh the way I do This is a song about a guy who wants this girl. But the girl doesn't love him("how you could not love me now "). She doesn't dream about him like he does("with her feet down to the ground over there"). He then says how quickly you fall in love("You will find the way turn hearts to love"), then when she least expect it. She would fall in love with him("Never cared, and the world turned hearts to love "). She would hold all her feelings. Without saying a word. So, he is about to depart("See me go "). And when he is about to leave, she would see him("when you're head turned turns all around you will wait"), and he would see her, and then they would finally be together("when I turn my eyes around overhead, when I hold you next to me"), and then she would finally know how much they love each other, and how they are meant to each other. But nothing like that happens. He still loves her, but she doesn't, and he accepts it("maybe you could not love me now "). So now he hopes for her to find true love("and I wait true love for you") I just love that song.

No Picture BeN-bEn Lead Player	#13 by BeN-bEn Lesniewski at Mar 9, 2004 at 8:20 AM EST
	this song means everything.

No Picture chris Wanna Be	#14 by chris valverde at Aug 2, 2007 at 9:09 AM EST
	Probably my favorite MBV song One of their rare darker songs i think.

No Picture Keith Average	#15 by Keith Amaral at Sep 26, 2007 at 6:16 AM EST
	Pure bliss.

No Picture Matt Wanna Be	#16 by Matt Sakrosky at Sep 28, 2007 at 6:18 PM EST
	The first verse just has to be wrong. i'm getting something like: Close my eyes Feel me now I don't know how you could not love me now You will know, and i feel it down to the core. (NO IDEA) You can't hide, oh no, from the way I feel Give it a listen. i really think my fourth line is a lot closer than the feet thing

No Picture Crystal Average	#17 by Crystal at Oct 4, 2007 at 11:47 AM EST
	As soon as I heard this song and watched that scene, I had rewind..It was and is beautiful.

No Picture Josh Average	#18 by Josh Braun at Oct 6, 2007 at 5:22 AM EST
	This is what I hear: Close my eyes, feeling how I don't know how you could not love me now You will know, and I feel it down to the core 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, when you're head turned all alone 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, feeling how 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 This is probably THE best MBV song, besides "When You Sleep" and "To Here Knows When". Well, off the Loveless record, that is haha.

No Picture Ryan Sutherland Rhythm Player	#19 by Ryan Sutherland at Oct 7, 2007 at 11:19 AM EST
	I've listened to this song many (and I mean MANY) a times when studying (You guessed it) Japanese. Yes, the fact this was included on Lost In Translation's OST was very good, I think of it each time I hear it...

No Picture Chris Rhythm Player	#20 by Chris Marcoux at Oct 10, 2007 at 8:15 AM EST
	shoegaze is a derivative/sub-genre of dream pop.

No Picture gosh, frickin i Wanna Be	#21 by gosh, frickin idiot! at Oct 11, 2007 at 5:29 AM EST
	quite simple musically, i.e. same beats and guiats throughout, but the voice (not the lyrics) helps the song sound just great

No Picture micheal Lead Player	#22 by micheal mceachern at Oct 11, 2007 at 8:26 AM EST
	This song is so awesome ! It is so powerfull... the lyrics are great but the music is enough to love it. Well, I can't find my words, I'm so in another world since I heard this song for the first time. Wow.

No Picture alex Lead Player	#23 by alex beaulieu at Oct 11, 2007 at 12:01 PM EST
	this is such a beautiful song... Amazing. Can't put it into words ....

No Picture GRIM Professional	#24 by GRIM at Oct 15, 2007 at 9:07 AM EST
	'Close my eyes, Feel me now, I don't know how you could not love me now' - I immediately fell for this song when I heard these first few lines. I still think the song lyrics are very cryptic nevertheless; afterall, you can barely discern what he's trying to say at some points of the song. I'm sure it's the melody driven by Shields' vocals that drives the song, apart from the thick heavy distortion in the background. Someone once commented that listening to this song was like "being bathed in golden lights" and it just feels like that. You can't help but feel the song flowing through you. And I agree, Coppola was a genius in using this song . 'Sometimes' always brings up such vivid imagery of the Scarlett Johansson (:P) and Tokyo at night. Gorgeous visuals. I believe the song can't be listened to; it has to be felt - as corny as it sounds.

No Picture Hey Retard Wanna Be	#25 by Hey Retard at Oct 16, 2007 at 1:00 AM EST
	I think previous posts have nailed the meaning of the lyrics perfectly. This is the perfect "relationship gone horribly wrong" song. The lyrics and the music are absolutely gorgeous and still manages to invoke a flood of emotions even after the billionth time I've played it. Time to go watch LIT again...
