Grace Anne posted Annie over on her blog, and after listening to it, I decided to repost it here. I know I posted it back in August, but it is every bit as amazing now as it was then (especially since its almost 1:30 AM as I write this). The guy has one of the coolest tenor voices I've ever heard, the beat is so much fun (once it gets started, but you have to wait for it!), and the lyrics are really good. And notice the name of the song. Annie. Sounds a bit like Addie, doesn't it? ;-)
Anyhow, here it is!
Annie
By Safetysuit
There was a girl named Annie,
She had a very pretty face,
But not the way you would think so,
Let me see if I can try to explain it...
She had a smile that could light up a room,
And when she moved, it'd be moving in you,
But it wasn't like a magazine,
She was just plain Jane,
And her name was Annie.
She never looked in a mirror,
She didn't like what she would see,
And even if I tried to tell her,
She'd never listen to a word I'd say
She always wanted what she never had
But never had what she needed so badly,
Someone telling her she was fine
And that’s not right
And its why I’m saying...
Annie don’t be shy here
Annie don’t just lie there
Looks don’t make the world go round
But it comes around
Annie don’t be shy here
Annie please don’t cry dear
I always have to stop myself
Cause you’re beautiful.
I didn’t know if I could tell her
I didn’t know if I could make her see
She didn’t need to find her beauty
She didn’t need to find a way to show me
They took her moments of feeling alive
And made them moments of dying inside
She needed someone to scream her name
To take her pain and its why I screaming...
Annie don’t be shy here
Annie don’t just lie there
Looks don’t make the world go round
But it comes around
And Annie don’t be shy here
Annie please don’t cry here
I always have to stop myself
Cause you’re beautiful
And Annie you are the one sight my eyes never tire of
Its like I cannot get enough of you
Annie you are the one song left in my symphony
Like you were made for me
Annie don’t be shy here
Annie don’t just lie there
Looks don’t make the world go round
But it comes around
Annie don’t be shy here
Annie please don’t cry here
I always have to stop myself
Cause you’re beautiful
There was a girl named Annie
She had a very pretty face...

I like this song! The melody that the lead singer sings is really cool and, like you said, the tune that backs him up is really interesting. I've played it three times so far...
My only guess as to why guys debate other Christians more than girls is that girls tend to be less confrontational. Not to say that they aren't capable of a debate, but in my observation, when faced with the opportunity, they tend to just talk about something they can agree on. At least this is the case with my sisters.
I'm glad you like the song, Curtis! It *is* a great one. :)
Aha! That makes sense. Thanks. I've always been curious as to why that is. Kind of like how philosophy and theology come naturally to guys, while girls have to struggle way more to understand it. :)
This is one of those songs that I had to listen to at least 5 times before I liked it, lol, but now I love it :)
