I'm Still Remembering

The Cranberries

I'm still remembering the day
I gave my life away
I'm still remembering the time
You said you'd be mine
Yesterday was cold and bare
Because you were not there
Yesterday was cold
My story has been told
I need your affection all the way
The world has changed or I've changed in a way
I try to remain
I'm trying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way

Get way
Get way
Get way
Get way
Get way

I'm still remembering my life
Before I became your wife
I'm still remembering the pain
And the mind games
Reverse psychology
Never tainted me
I didn't sell my soul
I didn't sell my soul

I need your affection all the way
The world has changd or I've changed in a way
I try to remain
I'm trying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way

They say the cream will always
Rise to the top
They say the good people
Are always first to drop
What of Kurt Cobain?
Will his presence still remain?
Remember J-F-K?
Ever saintly in a way

Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
I say, where are you now

I need your affection all the way
I need your affection all the way
I need your affection all the way
I need your affection all the way

All the way, all the way
All the way, all the way
All the way, all the way
All the way, all the way
All the way

    This is their best song and one of my faves. The music is great and the lyrics - though not extraordinary - are so intense

Standing On The Edge Of Summer

In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
