『Everything I Knew』

Let's go back, let's rewind to the days
That remind me of all the good times
That we spent together
And I don't know why we just let it all slide
When we both knew inside we were right for each other

Everything I Knew

Everything I knew, just blew out the window
Now I can't depend on you forever
And I never thought I'd see my life walk away from me
I thought we'd always be together

No I shouldn't have to pay for every word I say
I wish I could change your decision
Now you know that I've tried to tell you what it's like
But you just wouldn't listen

Let's go back, let's rewind to the days
That remind me of all the good times
That we spent together
And I don't know why we just let it all slide
When we both knew inside we were right for each other
I don't know what to do
Cos you're everything that I knew

Everydays the same it's like tomorrow never came
We used to talk about whatever
The seasons never changed
We never used to act our age
Every time we were together

No I shouldn't have to pay for every word I say
I wish I could change your decision
Now you know that I've tried to tell you what it's like
But you just wouldn't listen

Let's go back, let's rewind to the days
That remind me of all the good times
That we spent together
And I don't know why we just let it all slide
When we both knew inside we were right for each other
I don't know what to do
Cos you're everything that I knew

How can you just walk out of my life
Without even giving a reason?
And how can you look so good
The day I watched you leave me

Let's go back, let's rewind to the days
That remind me of all the good times
That we spent together
And I don't know why we just let it all slide
When we both knew inside we were right for each other

Let's go back, let's rewind to the days
That remind me of all the good times
That we spent together
And I don't know why we just let it all slide
When we both knew inside we were right for each other
I don't know what to do
Cos you're everything that I knew

Busted『Everything I Knew』

『Everything I Knew』はアルバム『Busted』の11曲目ですが、配信されているアルバムには残念ながら収録されていない曲です。
どちらかというとマイナーな感じの曲ですが、雰囲気が非常に好きでお気に入りの曲でした。
2023年には『Everything I Knew 2.0』として20周年を記念してリメイクされ、こちらはDashboard Confessionalとのコラボ曲となりました。

昔好きだった曲がリメイクされるのは本当に嬉しいですね。
特にこの『Everything I Knew』なんてアルバムの中でもあまり目立たない感じの曲で、今となっては思い出の片隅にひっそりとしまっておくような印象を抱く楽曲でもありましたからね。
それが今もなお歌ってくれるのは嬉しい限りです。

まとめ

こんな感じで、短いですがBustedの『Everything I Knew』の紹介でした。
比較的ポップに歌ってはいるものの、歌詞の内容はしっかりとした失恋の歌です。
10代の頃に聴いていた印象そのままにリメイクしてくれたのは嬉しいですし、やっぱり今でもなお好きな曲ではありますね。

それでは、また。
