Fui apresentado ao som do Travis há uns cinco ou seis anos atrás, e confesso que tenho como preferência o terceiro álbum (o qual contém as clássicas Sing e Side, entre outras), mas esse segundo, o The Man Who, de 1999, que contém essa canção, não fica tão atrás assim, e é o ponto onde eles realmente ganham o status de grande banda dentro do cenário Indie Britânico.
(Sei que meus colegas de blog irão discordar dessa opinião sobre qual dos dois álbuns é o melhor, mas...)
O clipe, como quase todos da banda, é bem interessante, mostra situações onde o cidadão está no lugar errado e na hora errada, mas tem um desfecho que fica a critério do espectador, interpretar como melhor lhe convir.
Every day I wake up and it's Sunday
Whatever's in my eye won't go away
The Radio is playing all the usual
And what's a Wonderwall anyway
Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
Cause I'm writing to reach you now but
I might never reach you
Only want to teach you
About you
But that's not you
It's good to know that you are home for Christmas
It's good to know that you are doing well
It's good to know that you all know I'm hurting
It's good to know I'm feeling not so well
Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
Cause I'm writing to reach you now but
I might never reach you
Only want to teach you about you
But that's not you
Do you know it's true
But that won't do
Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday
And whatever's in my eye should go away
But still the radio keeps playing all the usual
And what's a wonderwall anyway
Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
Cause I'm writing to reach you now but
I might never reach you
Only want to teach you
About you
But that's not you
Do you know it's true
But that won't do
And you know it's you
I'm talking to
