I saw this in concert this summer. It was so powerful that many people, including myself, were crying. It was a spectacular show, ended with this song, which was perfect. |

| Aqualung – Brighter than Sunshine Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is just breathtaking, in all seriousness. It's such a wonderful song, that can be so uplifting. One of the best songs to listen to on a bad day, especially in the car. "Your heart is keeping time with me" The most powerful line in the entire song, in my opinion. Never have heard anything like it, and I don't think I ever will. |

| Anna Nalick – More Than Melody Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This to me seems like a relationship that seems as if it wasn't ready to occur yet. I'll break the song down to show you what I mean. Hey Mr. Love I've been singin' and still There's a hole in my heart only a man can fill But he's had a blistered love and we're sharin' a bed But he's not in a state to be readily left in my hands In my hands in my hands in my hands (I think that in this part, Anna is singing to cupid, telling him that she's already tried to fill her life with her favorite thing signing, but she still feels empty and needs someone. She jumps quickly into the relationship with a man who's just gotten over an awful breakup, so he's not ready to be with her quite yet, because he is afraid to give her his heart.) *chorus* And I say hey Love live it up Cause I'm getting to closer and I won't love Give it up This poetry and prose and words are not enough Cause he's more than melody to me...I think (This is where Anna tells the man that he should take a chance with her because she's not going to give up on him yet. The song isn't enough to show her feelings, because she thinks she is crazily in love with him, but she only can be if he's open to her.) So morning comes and I'm nervously cold In these sheets not my own and these hands where they don't belong And I'm all but a victim to my prison head I should run for my gun but I'm lying instead in your hands In your hands in your hands in your hands (This is where Anna gets scared, because the man finally gives into her wishes. I think she feels that he isn't all the way into her still, or she herself might not be ready yet, but either way, she's fighting something inside of her head, but she has lost, because still, she finds herself with him, depending on him.) *chorus* And holding out our hands before us All the world will love and whore us My heart Oh Lord is in your hands (This is where she makes the point that everyone is very innocent, and very vulnerable. She says that her vulnerability now lies in control of the man.) Hey Mr. Love I'm too tired to sing But he is more than melody to me (This I think is where Anna has finally thought about the situation enough, and she is content where she is, but she is tired of thinking, and she's done with it. She realizes that he is in fact the right guy for her.) |

| Anna Nalick – Breathe (2 A.M.) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is one of my very favorite songs, but all of Anna's songs are in my top 25 on my iPod. Well, here's my shot for a meaning: 2 Am and she calls me cause I'm still awake Can you help me unravel my latest mistake I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season. Yeah we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes Like they have any right at all to criticize Hypocrites you're all here for the very same reason. This verse is all about the speaker getting a frantic phone call from a friend who finds out she's pregnant from her boyfriend who she comes to realize wasn't her true love. In my opinion, the line, "I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season." Means that their relationship was cold and frigid. She ends up going to get it aborted, and she gets stares from all of the people there. Cause you can't jump the track We're like cars on a cable and life's like an hourglass glued to the table, No one can find the rewind button girl So just cradle your head in your hands. And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe just breathe Basically, you can't change time, you have to work through your problems as they come. May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year Here in town you can tell he's been down for while But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles Wanna hold him but maybe I'll just sing about it Now I think this one is about the boyfriend, who's been drinking since the pregnant one left him years later. He's depressed, and he has an alcohol problem. The line should actually be: "Just today, he said down to the flask in his fist", which would then mean that he's trying to tell himself that he'll get better as the problem worsens. I think that Anna thinks he's beautiful and wants to help him, but she can't because of so many reasons. Cause you can't jump the track We're like cars on a cable And life's like an hourglass glued to the table, No one can find the rewind button boys so cradle your head in your hands And breathe, just breathe, whoa breath just breathe There's a light at each end of this tunnel you shout cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out And these mistakes you've made You'll just make them again if you'll only try turnin' around This part is about learning from your mistakes, that way you can turn your life around. 2Am and I'm still awake writing this song If i get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me threaten' the life it belongs to. And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd Cause these words are my diary screamin' out aloud And I know that you'll use them however you want to. This part is about her finally getting to vent her problem, but feeling afraid of everyone's reaction to them, maybe the people she talks about in the song? But you can't jump the track We're like cars on a cable And life's like an hourglass glued to the table, No one can find the rewind button now Sing it if you understand...yeah breath Just breathe, ohho breathe I really do love this song. |
