We lauded the recent Torres show we attended at the Echo.  One regret that night was that Torres’ highly-affecting song Ferris Wheel was not included in the setlist.  Thankfully Sound Opinions today has released their capture of the band performing the heart-rending song.  Check it out below (lyrics at bottom).  At bottom is an equally superb solo-acoustic version.

Ferris Wheel:

“Do I have reason to be sad
Crying over something I never had
You borrowed my car a couple times
You don’t like me, you just like my ride

You hide behind glasses and music and wit
You laugh at yourself and hand roll cigarettes
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do
To show you that I’ve got the sadness too
To show you that I’ve got the sadness too

I talk about you like you’re mine
My friends just laugh, and roll their eyes
When I tell them I don’t mind the way it feels
To ride an empty Ferris wheel

You hide behind glasses and music and wit
You laugh at yourself and hand roll cigarettes
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do
To show you that I’ve got the sadness too
To show you that I’ve got the sadness too

You hide behind glasses and music and wit
You laugh at yourself and then roll cigarettes
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do
To show you that I’ve got the sadness too
To show you that I’ve got the sadness too”
