About Absolutely (Story of a Girl)

"Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" is a song recorded by American rock band Nine Days for the group's fourth studio album, The Madding Crowd (2000). The song was released as the lead single from The Madding Crowd in April 2000 through 550 Music and Epic Records. The song is an upbeat power pop anthem written by guitarist/vocalist John Hampson for his wife, who was his girlfriend at the time it was composed. Brian Desveaux, the group's other guitarist, also receives songwriting credit. The song represented a breakthrough for the band after years of attempting to interest major record labels. It was recorded in Atlanta, Georgia at Tree Sound Studios with producer Nick DiDia. The song became the band's only hit single; it reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, and it peaked within the top ten in Canada and New Zealand. The song's music video was directed by Liz Friedlander and received airplay on MTV and VH1. The band's follow-up single, "If I Am", fared worse than its predecessor, and Nine Days became a one-hit wonder. more »

This is the story of a girl 
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world 
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her, when she smiles 

How many days in the year 
She woke up with hope, but she only found tears 
Actin' so insincere 
Making the promises never for real 
As long as she stands there waiting 
Wearing the holes in soles of her shoes 
How many days disappear 
You look in the mirror so how do you choose 

Your clothes never wear as well the next day 
And your hair never falls out quite the same way 
You never seem to run out of things to say 

This is the story of a girl 
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world 
And while she looked so sad in photographs 
I absolutely love her, when she smiles 

How many lovers would stay 
Just to put up with this shit day after day 
How do we wind up this way 
Watchin' the mouths for the words I would say 
As long as we stand here waiting 
Wearing the clothes of the soles I would choose 
How do we get there today 
If we're walkin' to far from the price of the shoes 

Your clothes never wear as well the next day 
And your hair never falls out quite the same way 
You never seem to run out of things to say 

This is the story of a girl 
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world 
And while she looked so sad in photographs 
I absolutely love her, when she smiles 

Your clothes never wear as well the next day 
And your hair never falls out quite the same way 
You never seem to run out of things to say 

This is the story of a girl 
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world 
And while she looks so sad in photographs 
I absolutely love her 

This is the story of a girl 
Who's pretty face she hid from the world 
And while she looked so sad and lonely there 
I absolutely love her 

This is the story of a girl 
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world 
And while she looked so sad in photographs 
I absolutely love her, when she smiles
