SNOW:
Carie
Won't you come and see me, the clouds have bid the sun
Let's take a chance and run with just what we can carry
Carie
Won't you come and save me, I am of the earth
But you are like a church with one hand in the sky
And a face that answers why
Won't you please just hear me
Everywhere I hear you - Everywhere you call
Everyday I feel the need to fall into you
I need to be behind your castle walls
Carie
I see it all so clearly, the window's open now
Let's take what fate's allowed, time may never come
Let's take a chance and run with just what we can carry
Carie
Won't you come and see me, the clouds have bid the sun
Let's take a chance and run with just what we can carry
Carie
Won't you come and save me, I am of the earth
But you are like a church with one hand in the sky
And a face that answers why
Won't you please just hear me
Everywhere I hear you - Everywhere you call
Everyday I feel the need to fall into you
I need to be behind your castle walls
Carie
I see it all so clearly, the window's open now
Let's take what fate's allowed, time may never come
Let's take a chance and run with just what we can carry
Carie - Spock's Beard
Released on the 2002 album Snow, 'Carie' stands as a defining track in the discography of the Australian band Spock's Beard. The song exemplifies the group's signature blend of indie rock and post-punk sensibilities, characterized by driving rhythms and introspective songwriting. As part of the band's early catalog, the recording captures a specific era of Australian music where raw energy met melodic sophistication. The track has since become a staple for fans of the genre, often cited alongside other works from the Snow album as a prime example of the band's ability to craft emotionally resonant and rhythmically complex compositions that have influenced subsequent indie acts.
