i heard this song a couple of weeks back, but recently happened upon it again whilst listening to 89.3 The Current. i really dig this woman and after doing some research, i get so excited it's noticeably obvious! turns out Haley Bonar is a fellow midwesterner (from South Dakota) who is based out of St. Paul, Minnesota! *swoon!* so clearly i am completely interested in this musician from the start.she's got a few records out (the first put out in 2003), with her latest album titled Big Star having been released earlier this past year. she has also won a couple of Minnesota Music Awards, which is super exciting as well...not to mention having her album featured in the Star Tribune, City Pages, The Onion, and Pulse magazine.
what i really enjoy about Haley Bonar is that she sounds like a nice blend of midwestern country meets hippie folk...not your typical twangy country singer, not quite weird enough to be super folky...i like how calm her music is too. she makes me want to take a road trip and buy all her music and spend 22 hours listening to just her while i leave the concrete and buildings and traffic behind and watch the corn fields and dirt roads pass me.i am really excited for this musician and even more excited to be able to move to the Twin Cities so that i can add her to the list of artists to try to see on a regular basis!
the end.
love,
meggo.
Something Great :: Haley Bonar
(i tried to find the lyrics online, but couldn't so i did the best i could...if anyone has any corrections, feel free to leave them in the comment section!)
you've been talkin bout something great
but you don't really know what you're sayin
i guess that goes without to say
that you don't really know what you're payin for
but it's in the way
it's in the way you see
it's in the way
it's in the way you see
me
my mother told me this yesterday
that girls like me only get to somewhere
it's not really much of the things you say
but how you look at them
and who does your hair
the skin you take
the kids you face baby
the skin you take might take your place baby
you'd be talkin about something great
but you don't really know what you're saying
i guess that goes without to say
that you don't know really what you're paying for
what you're paying for
what you're paying for

hi, just wanted to thank you for the transcription; i wasn't clear about the fourth stanza so it's good to see someone else take the helm.
i've submitted the lyrics at songmeanings.net and have credited it to this blogpost. hope you don't mind me spreading them just a bit more.
