About Sometimes

"Sometimes" was the third single released from the Free All Angels album by the band Ash on June 9, 2001. It was released as a single CD (released on 2CD formats, the first of which being an enhanced CD) as a 7" vinyl (which was limited edition and came with a numbered picture gatefold sleeve), as well as on DVD format. Although "Sometimes" reached only number 21 on the UK Singles Chart, it helped contribute to increase in sales for Free All Angels. The song also reached number 41 in Ireland. "Sometimes" is a poetic love song, and is regarded as one of the stand out tracks from the album. The song originally slated to be the second single from the album, but the band opted for the heavier track "Burn Baby Burn" in its place. The song is almost always present in the live set, and is definitely a fan favourite, showing a different side to the band than that of heavier albums such as 1977 and Meltdown. The song can also be found on the Intergalactic Sonic 7″s hits collection.

Can't sleep in the city, you're far away
Cigarettes keep you skinny
And your mind off the rain
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Feelings are distant, I know guilt by name
It was the hardest thing, watching you slip away
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens feeling die
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but event conspired
Sometimes

Good morning sweet thing you're safe in my hand
I am no saint, but I understand
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens feeling die
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but event conspired
Sometimes
Now that it's over, it is through
It gets me every time I think of you
Sometimes It happens, feelings die
Sometimes

I miss your warm skin, beside me at night
I miss your flesh, in the dawn light
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens feeling die
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but event conspired
Sometimes
Saturn's decline in my star sign
Seasonal adjustments, stars realign
Sometimes it happens feeling die
Sometimes, sometimes
