gahh it's so annoying..i youtube bic runga - sorry and all i get is bic runga sway! wanted to post the link so, if you can ever find it let me know...it's off the abulm "Drive". I really like this song. The melody is quite powerful as are the lyrics, thus the two tieing in well together. What I find interesting is although the song is called sorry, I dont think she ever actually says the word "sorry" and uses it as a lyrics throughout the song. "Sorry" I lie, (see what I did there =p) the closest she comes to saying "it" (Idid "it" again) is the use of the word "sorries," in the first verse. (I was not aware that I had even done this until proof reading )
I also really like how musically the song builds. before the lyrics even come in, the music starts really soft and each bar just gradually keeps building ever so slightly. My favourite lyrics in this song are the first 2 verses... I think here Bic turns her stubborness to apologise through lyrics.
And again, I feel this song something everyone can relate to. Well I know I can anyway. We all have our stubborn and proud moments, where we don't know how to swallow our own pride and be the bigegr person. They say "sorry" and "I love you" are the hardest things to say. I personally can see how the two come hand in hand, and I feel in this song that Bic feels the same way. Given that in the first line it says "wring out my guilt" my interpretation is that Bis is at fault, but she is to stubborn and proud and finds it hard to face up to this.
Bic procrastinates what she needs to say by "looking round the pantry for a box of sorries."
I love the imagery created in the verses as well. I also love how the listener is to assume what "it" is in the line "say it now"... given the title of the song I have assumed the word "it" being figuritive for "sorry."
***
Wring out my guilt and hang it on the line
Its been raining all week, it won't get a chance to dry
I've been looking round the pantry for a box of sorries
I'm all run out yeah
I'm all run out
It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say
So why can't I say it now?
And its been swelling up inside like the kitchen sponge
Its on the back of my throat, its on the tip of my tongue
If I could sweep it out the door that would be the end
But this wind keeps blowing it in again
It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say I know
It's not that hard to say
So why can't I say it now?
Say It now, say it now, say it now!
Say it now, say it now, say it now!
And I've been locking all the doors and drawing all the blinds
It always seems to find its way back inside
If I could sweep it out the door that would be the end
But this wind keeps blowing it in again
So I can say it now
Say it now, say it now, say now!
Say it now, say it now, say now!
Say it now, say it now, say now!
Say it now, say it now, say now!
It's not that hard to say I know
