Aqueduct – Growing Up With GNR

Coming to us from Seattle, Aqueduct is an indie-pop band that initially consisted of one member, David Terry, creating and producing music in his bedroom.  Currently consisting of four members, the band has played with several Seattle-based heavyweights including United State of Electronica, Modest Mouse, and Death Cab for Cutie.  Growing Up With GNR is a single off of the band’s debut album Power Ballads, self-released in 2003. The album contains several “diamonds in the rough” so to speak, and definitely deserves a listen.

Whenever, whenever, whenever you fall apart
forget her, forget her, forget her
she broke your heart
whenever, whenever, whenever your wrong or right
forget her, forget her, forget her, she’s torn apart

I’ve been walking these streets tonight
just trying to get it right, I’ve got to get it right
whenever you’re home you’re never really are
well I’ve been living in a fantasy
just trying to get it right, I’ve got to get it right
whenever you’re lonely you are not alone

whenever, whenever, whenever you fall apart
forget her, forget her, forget her, she’s torn aprt

O’ baby you were looking foxy tonight
is it the way you walk or just the way you talk
you’re playing the part
that’s gonna break my heart
well girl there’s something
about the way you act
you will be crushing my soul
and won’t be paying me back
why can’t you be the way you used to be
way back when…

I was only twelve, damning all to hell, I was feeling fine
Hearing Axl Rose, on the radio
singing sweet child of mine

whenever, whenever, whenever you fall apart
forget her, forget her, forget her she broke your heart

I was only twelve, damning all to hell, I was feeling fine alright
hearing Axl Rose, on the radio
singing sweet child of mine alright
welcome to the jungle
you’re much too much to handle
I wish I weren’t in love with you
hearing Axl Rose on the radio
remembering the good times with you

I’ve been living in a fantasy
Just trying to get it right, I’ve got to get it right
whenever you’re lonely you are not alone
