This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I may run and hide
When you're screamin' my name, alright
But let me tell you now
There are prices to fame, alright
All of our time spent in flashes of light
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life
Looking at the crowd
And I see your body sway, c'mon
Wishin' I could thank you in a different way, c'mon
'Cause all of your time spent keeps us alive
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life
All of your time spent keeps us alive
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life
Yeah, every time we're down
Yeah, you can make it right
Yeah, and that's what makes you larger than life
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger
That makes you larger
That makes you larger than life
When you're screamin' my name, alright
But let me tell you now
There are prices to fame, alright
All of our time spent in flashes of light
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right

That makes you larger
That makes you larger than life

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Ok, spliphstar, sure thing. Keep beliving and maybe it'll come true (like that'll ever happen). Anyways, I think this song is a great dance song and I also think it's great that the Boys did a song about the fans.
it is true. i don't have to believe it. they did a song about the fans to keep you suckers buying records. lou perlman is a marketing genius. and one more thing--i don't know how any hardcore fan of pop music-boy bands, specifically, can think they are true artists. HELLO-there was a show on ABC that shows how they are chosen, trained, dressed, etc. if anyone out there can tell me one boy band where five guys got together and said, "hey, let's all dress a like and sing alike and dance alike and really be in it for the music" without the influence of parents/managers/talent scouts,or any outside influences, i will never say another bad thing about boy band again. in fact, i'll even buy one of there cd's.
I agree with lqfuad. Everyone who makes fun of the BSB just didn't grow up with them. I love thinking about them and remembering all the slumber parties I used to have where we stayed up all night listening to the BSB! Fun times! And also, who thinks emo is real music? Another thing to think about is are the emo groups you listen to still around? Hmm..let's think? NO! Are the BSB still around even though they "suck"? OMG! YEAH!! So obviously someone likes them! I love the BSB and always will!
This song affect me so much. I feel so strong and tough to conquer the world of mine.
This song is a really great dance song and it also has a good meaning behind it. This is one of the songs dedicated to the fans.
What next? Are they gonna claim they're "bigger than Jesus"?
I agree with spliph.. people are so dense that they can put on tv shows about how they "build" pop stars and boy bands, and then they never notice that their favorite groups are just a tool of the media. By the way, I think boy bands and such learned to clean their recorded cd for live preformances.. just in case. They don't want to end up like milli vanilli. ;)
i'd never paid attention to the lyrics and noticed that its about the fans but when i read it its obvious. i have so many memories of 7th grade dances when i hear this song. my friend and i were singing it the other night just for kicks. good to reminisce. have no idea how to spell that...
I'm not sure whether I like this song or not. It is a very catchy song and its alright to listen to. But on some levels, its annoying. If I have to rate it: 5/10. And you people who hate them? If you don't like them, why even bother coming to read their lyrics, and post hateful comments about them? Why not post comments on the bands you DO like?
This songs is basically explaining that theres a price to pay for being famous and a lot of times it can be a real downer, but when you know your fans are there and cheering you on, for some reason, the day just seems brighter. So this is basically a praise song to fans to say, thanks, we appreciate you...
among other things.
OMG! Backstreet Boys SUCK ASS! I cant believe I ever used to listen to them now. Now Im into hardcore and emo and good, REAL music. BB is just a bunch of lip singers like Ashlee Simpson and Jessica Simpson. GO SUCK DICK POP STARS! YOU ARENT REAL!
Um i went to a backstreet boys concert about 3 weeks ago for their new album and there was not one ounce of lip syncing the entire show. Since when is there "real" and "fake" music? How are they not real? Are they hologram images that don't exist? I fail to understand your logic. <br /> <br /> P.S. Enjoy listening to music about depressed people who have nothing better to do then scream about how lonely and miserable they are<br /> <br />
