"I first heard saving Jane as a side act for a Bo Bice concert. Bo was great, But I'm not talking about him right now. I really liked them, and had bits and peices of their songs stuck in my head all day. The only song I had heard before was Girl next door, and they didn't sing that untill the end. I really liked this cd, and I will show the world how much free time I have and write about every little song.



Who's Crying Now is the first song on the cd, or at least on mine. Marti herself said that it's about when you have a boyfriend that doesn't call for a long time and then suddenly wants to get back together again like nothing happened. This song has great lyrics and shows a lot of emotion, as most of thier songs do, and is a surprisingly cheery and upbeat.



The nesxt song was Happy, which was Marti's opening song in the concert. This one's about having a boyfriend that's moved on and you haven't. The lyrics are kind of sad, but it's a really fun song that makes you want to turn up the music really loud and rock out and annoy all the neighbors.



Girl next door was, as I allready said, the last song in the concert and the only one I'd heard of before. It's also in the newest Now cd, but that usualy had really bad music in my opinon. But that's really good for the band, because they've really got talent and deserve fame.



Imperfection is one of my favorite songs. It's about how in the music industry (and in life in general) they want everyone to be so perfect and beautiful and sexy, and Marti just wants to be who she is and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. In the concert that really was true. she had realy pretty hair, but she wasn't trying to be more that she is. as the song says, "this is what you get. This is who I am." this also has some of the coolest lyrics, like, "Sometimes I trip and fall. But I nkow where i stand." and "In case your looking that's my heart there on my sleave." I love this song, because it describes a feeling everyone has felt before.



I don't remember if they did Reasons Why in the concert. This one is not my favorite, but it has a lot of emoton. It's kind of about how marti thought that she wasn't 16 anyomore and was too old to get big in the music industry, but then she realised, "Maybe it's not to late for me to fly. Maybe you underestimated me and now it's tiiiiiiiime." It's a really hopeful song and makes you think that if she could do it, anyone can.



Ordinary wasn't in the concert either, and it didn't stick out much for me. It's a slower song, which isn't exactly my thing. the title says it all, "if you would get to know me, Maybe you would love me, I'm so ordinary..."



Sleep on it is in the same cattagory as Ordinary.



Don't stop is one of my favorite songs, too. I think It's kind of abput stage fright, but I'm not sure. It's a really fun song, and makes you want to dance. It's a pretty good lesson for everything, "Don't stop now."



The pretender is the only song in the album that is not by someone in the band. It's pretty good, but not my favorite. I think it goes on for a bit to long, and i don;t understand much of it.



Mary is about someone who's trying to be someone she's not, so she trys to be someone else she's not, and the moral is be yourself. Very self explanitory. It's a good song, though a little less upbeat, and has a nice ring to it.



Come down to me is the song where the band gets to show off their pianist, which was much needed considering that he was just kind of sitting there shaking his head for some of the other songs. It's a really nice love song about when you realy like someone but you don't know if he likes you back. The song was kind of ruined at the concert, though, when some people got up because they thought they saw Bo coming from back stage.



autumn and Me is the last song on the Cd, and is about Marti and her best friend Autumn. I really like this song, too, and the lyrics are also realy funny, like, "I was named for a boy, she was named for the fall, and nothing much else really mattered at all." You Say, the thing at the end, was king of wierd, though.



I really liked this cD,and even though I'm only 12 and I can't type very well, I would recoment this cd to anyone that liked good music. I hope this was helpful."

A little of this and that.........

".......a little Sheryl Crow, Dixie Chicks, Bif Naked, and a couple riffs that sound like the Beatles and Foo Fighters. Marti Dodson has a GREAT voice!"
