Lori Carson has a lot in common with Aimee Mann, but Lori has yet to get the attention that Aimee has. Everything is a moody, atmospheric album, but you can tell that she is holding back. Although Aimee sounds at home with her low-key rock, there's something in Lori's voice that says she wants to raise her voice above a whisper, but she can't quite do it. Her lyrics, though, are very personal and intense. "My first lover beat me black and blue. I was 15 years old. Couple of others, they were cheaters, too. But I never had nobody half as mean as you." It's that sort of writing that has made Lori's career, and that is Everything's strength.
Christmas
Lori Carson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the way things turned out
Can we be starry-eyed
Still lovers after all this?
Love was hard to find
But we have
Love was hard to find
Or free you from it
But I'll never hurt you baby
Not like that
Don't stop believing in the future
Or yourself
I don't know why it happened
But it did and I'd walk
Backwards through fire to love you
It doesn't take less my love
It doesn't take less my love
To stay when you want wo run
To open and open and open and open
If I said all of this
With just the right inflection
Could we go on from here?
Love was hard to find
But we have
Love was hard to find
But we have
Love was hard to find
