Week Forty: Girls that Rock! - Eve's Plum - "I Want It All" - Envy


So, as I was browsing through my post history, I noticed that
I have been neglecting the ladies a bit on my blog... as a result, I
am dedicating Week Forty to Girls that Rock! - or female-fronted bands!!!
0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0


Eve's Plum was a band that was played quite frequently on The EDGE back in 1993, and I had the pleasure of seeing them at EDGEfest #3 in 1994 at Starplex Amphitheater in Dallas. 

If the name, Eve's Plum, sounds familiar to you, it is probably because they named themselves after the actress, Eve Plumb, who played Jan Brady on The Brady Bunch. I own the album, Envy, and although I do listen to it on occasion, this song, "I Want It All", is really the only one that stands out.

After Eve's Plum broke up, the lead singer, Colleen Fitzpatrick, went on to change her name to Vitamin C and to release that really annoying song, "Graduation (Friends Forever)". I seriously hate that song because they play it every year at the final pep rally at my school, and it is tradition for the 8th graders to get in a circle and sway back and forth. It's utterly ridiculous because most of them are so mean to one another on a daily basis and actually hate one another, but then they act like they are all BFF's and like they are going to legitimately miss one another. I just want to barf as I have to witness it all!!!

Another super-cool female-fronted band that played at EDGEfest #3 was The Indians. Most people remember them from their track, "Bed of Roses" that appeared on the Reality Bites soundtrack, but I think their song, "Look Up to the Sky" is much better; so I am including it below the lyrics...


All I see is misery
Am I the only one, am I the only one?
At times I feel I talk too much
Am I the only one, am I the only one?
I want more than you could ever wish for me
I take a chance I want it all
I take a chance I want it all
I take a chance I want it all
I take a chance I want it all
Is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
Tell me is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
Tell me is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
As easy as you said it was going to be?
All I see is laziness
Am I the only one, am I the only one?
Even when it comes to me
Am I the only one, am I the only one?
I want more than you could ever wish for me
I take a chance I want it all
I take a chance I want it all
I take a chance I want it all
I take a chance I want it all
Is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
Tell me is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
Tell me is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
As easy as you said it was going to be?
I take a chance I want it all
I take a chance I want it all
I take a chance I want it all
I take a chance I want it all
Is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
Tell me is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
Tell me is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
As easy as you said it was going to be?
Is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
Tell me is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
Tell me is it oh is it as easy as you said as you said
As you said as you said as you said oh as you said as you said
