Exploring the tensions of a relationship using the imagery of opposites. As the verses use a series of call and response statements, this seemed to lend the song to being sung as a duet. Enter Romana Ashton from The Sunday Reeds. A muted keyboard tone permeates the song a la ‘Play for Today’ by The Cure.
lyrics
Before …. After
Summer …. Winter
Today …. Tonight
Vision …. No sight
Things are going down
Between you and me
Things start to crystallise
And I can see
Standing …. Sitting
You’re out …. You’re in
Too loud …. So quiet
Sunrise …. Midnight
Things are going down
Between you and me
Things start to crystallise
And I can see
Oh, I see you
You don’t see me
Oh, I see you
Yeah, yeah you
Honest …. Liar
Water …. Fire
Brutus …. Caesar
So close …. So far
Things are going down
Between you and me
Things start to crystallise
And I can see
