Today Lyrics

Standing in the doorway
Of my life in this house
Trying to find a way to get out

Looking for a sign
That I should open the door
This craziness is getting me down

But today is the day
We break free
Today is the day
We break free


Walking down the stairway
To the traffic below
Anything could happen
I know
Hey but I'm sick of everybody
Telling me what to do
I hear you
Hey but I already know

'Cause today is the day
We break free
Today is the day
We break free

It's clear in my mind
After all of this time
What I feel, my love

There are so many times
That the sun doesn't shine
But I'm here, my love

Today is the day

Maybe I should wait
Just a minute or two
It's getting cold now
I feel so insecure

The future is a mistress
That is so hard to please
And the past
Is a pebble in my shoe

But today is the day
We break free
Today is the day
We break free

It's clear in my mind
After all of this time
What I feel, my love

There are so many times
That the sun doesn't shine
But I'm here, my love

And today is the day

Ah... Oh yeah... Here we go now

Today is the day
Today is the day, is the day
Today is the day
It's clear in my mind after all of this time (Today... is the day)
Today is the day, (Today) is the day
Today is the day
'Cause you and me and we break free (It's clear in my mind)
You and me (After all of this time)
Today is the day, today is the day (Is the day)
Today is the day
'Cause you and me and we break free (It's clear in my mind)
You and me (After all of this time)
Today is the day, today is the day (Is the day)
Today is the day (Oh no)
If you and me and we break free (It's clear in my mind after all of this time) (Today... is the day)
You and me and we break free today! (Today is the day)
Today is the day (Today is the day) (Oh oh today!)
Today is the day (Today is the day)
It's clear in my mind (Today... is the day)
After all of this time (Today is the day)
Today is the day (Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!)
Is the day (Today-ay-ay-ay!)
Today is the day (Ah ah ah oh oh)
It's clear in my mind (Today is the day) (Ah ah ah oh oh)
After all of this time (Is the day) (Ah ah)
Today... is the day
Today is the day, aaah yeah
Today is the day
It's clear in my mind (Today... is the day)
After all of this time (Today is the day)

Poe

There are multiple artists that perform under the name 'Poe'.

1. Poe™ - the stage name of Anne “Annie” Decatur Danielewski, an American singer-songwriter.
2. An electronic artist from Ukraine.
3. A 70’s Psychedelic Rock band
4. A korean indie rock band, see also 포.
5. For the Polish group, see Projekt Ostry Emade.
6. A Malaysian band that released one album

1. Poe™ (trademarked) is the stage name of Anne "Annie" Decatur Danielewski, an American singer-songwriter, . Her musical style is a blend of rock, folk, and electronic music elements backing intimate lyrical compositions. Poe was signed to Atlantic Records from 1995–2001, where she released two albums (Hello and Haunted); she's currently signed to her own label, RePoezessed Records.

Annie is the daughter of Polish film director Tad Danielewski and his second wife, Priscilla Machold and the sister of author Mark Z. Danielewski. She grew up in Provo, Utah, USA, where her father was a professor at Brigham Young University. She eventually began pursuing her undergraduate studies at Princeton University, where she organized her first band.

Poe's first album, Hello, was released in 1995. Her debut single, "Angry Johnny," got much radio and MTV airplay. The second single "Hello" charted #13 on U.S. Modern Rock Tracks and #1 on U.S. Hot Dance Club Play.

Occupied by extensive small club tours, she was unable to produce a second album until 2000's Haunted. Poe included her late father on Haunted after discovering cassette tapes containing his voice. But listening to them the first time proved so difficult that she was hesitant to use them in her music. "I took these tapes home and I couldn't listen to them," Poe explains. "It was too hard, so I kept finding ways to avoid it. They were sitting on my coffee table next to a boombox." The album also dovetails with themes and concepts from her brother Mark's post-modern novel House of Leaves; the CD and the book were released simultaneously. Poe and Mark toured together across America at Borders Books and Music locations in support of the album and the novel.

A remix of the song, "Hey Pretty", featured Mark reading a passage from the novel. It was released on one of the Haunted singles and became a radio hit. "Hey Pretty" was also the theme to a short-lived MTV soap opera Spyder Games. The show usually ended with bits of the risque video or a picture of the single's cover. In 10 Things I Hate About You the character of Kat has the Poe ball on her schoolbook.

Poe opened for Depeche Mode in 2001, and followed this up with a head-lining US tour. Poe's second album's rising success reached Gold and Top 10 alternative, but was abruptly interrupted by legal disputes. Poe started a campaign which she referred to as the "Re-POE-Session", an attempt to gain control of her master recordings from her former record label, Atlantic Records, because they refused to re-release her albums although she was still under contract. Her dedicated fan base, "The Angry Psychos", supported her fight by passing a "Poe Ball" around the country to show their support. In 2004, both albums were re-released on CD by FEI/Sheridan Square Records, and in downloadable form on various online music stores. The RePoezession was a success.

Poe appeared in the movie Gossip performing the song "My Lips are Sealed" (a cover of The Go-Go's' "Our Lips Are Sealed"), and as a CGI character, Mary Magdalene/Plague, in the PlayStation game Apocalypse. Apocalypse also featured an alternate version of her song, "Control", later released on Haunted.

Her most recent work includes collaborations with Rhys Fulber's solo project, Conjure One. She has had a part in the writing and singing of five songs on Conjure One's albums: "Center of the Sun" and "Make a Wish" on the self-titled first album and "Endless Dream," "One Word" and "Extraordinary Way" on Extraordinary Ways. She is credited as Jane on this later album.

Poe provides the voice of "Single Mother" in the movie musical "Repo! The Genetic Opera", along with other voices.

In November 2007 Poe began collecting mp3 recordings of dream accounts on her website, http://www.repoezessed.com

According to statements on her official forum, Poe is in production on new material.

2. Poe is a electronic music composer based in Ternopil, Ukraine.
