This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Mightly waves come crashing down,
The spray is lashing high into the eagle's eye
Shrieking as it cuts the devil wind,
is calling sailors to the deep
But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
Surf is high an' the sea is awash
An' a haze of candy floss, glitter and beads
Rock that we sat on and watched in the sun
That was hot to touch
And the sea was emerald green
I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
And I can see you smile
Surf comes rushing up the beach
Now will it reach the castle waal and will it fall
Catfish dappled silver flashing
Dogfish puffing bubbles in my deep
The spray is lashing high into the eagle's eye
Shrieking as it cuts the devil wind,
is calling sailors to the deep
But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
Surf is high an' the sea is awash
An' a haze of candy floss, glitter and beads
Rock that we sat on and watched in the sun
That was hot to touch
And the sea was emerald green
I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
And I can see you smile
Surf comes rushing up the beach
Now will it reach the castle waal and will it fall
Catfish dappled silver flashing
Dogfish puffing bubbles in my deep

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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

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/
Can't let a PF song have no comments, sorry. =P
Birds from the sea? Ha ha
Someone please tell me where I can get this song. It's one of the 8 I can't find anywhere.
I got the song, but I think it is a bad version. Is it supposed to have the person talking over it, with the music only in the background? The lyrics show so much potential for this song, but my version is absolutely awful (A Tree Full of Secrets version).
I know, it's lifted directly from the movie More (played in a party scene), that's why there's that person talking. There must be some other versions, though I couldn't find any, neither on illegal nor on legal sites. Maybe you can find a program to filter the vocals of the person.
I wrote a poem inspired by this song, mostly because I was so annoyed at my crappy version. Don't worry, it's not plagiarizing this song, they're completely different.
Mine is about basic needs that humans share with all other animals. I use the bird reference, but with three different birds, one of which is a seagull.
It's still in the works, but if anyone wants me to post it when it's finished, let me know on this page.
OK, I'd like to see the poem. Please let me know when it's finished.
Circling above the raging sea As the tide comes rolling in Seagulls watch the crashing waves Calling as they wheel above the bay A seagull searches out its prey
As the daybreaks softly on the eyes The owl leaves the lightenings skies Silently returning to its sacred haven Disguised amid the forest's trees Feathers ruffled in the morning breeze
Gathering bits of old plastic bags Amongst wiry brambles and thorns The cardinal searches for anything at all For, hidden inside the vines along the fence The mother cardinal makes her nest
The poem started as just writing something about seagulls, because they are seabirds, and I was really disappointed with this song.
As I said before, it's about the basic instincts that all animals share, which are (in this order in the poem), food, shelter and reproduction.
I don't claim that it's excellent, but it is unique in the fact that it's the only poem I have ever written that is not dark/gloomy/the human race is going to kill itself and I want you to know about it in subject matter. This is the only purely optomistic (or at least not-pessimistic) poem that I have written. For the others, think Final Cut/Animals dark, or Roger Waters solo dark. That kind of dark.
The poem isn't really finished, I revise all I have written every so often, so in several weeks this will be different. However, this is around the 10th or 15th revision, so it is pretty close.
Sorry about the wait (I try to respond promptly if I can), but my access to a computer has been limited lately, and I forgot that I had made the offer to post the poem. It was pure chance that I saw your request, reptile.
I hope you enjoyed it more than you enjoyed listening to the massacre of a song with loads of potential that this page is dedicated to.
Just as an example of dark, so you can see, here is an excerpt from a series of 10ish poems that I wrote against the Iraq war, nuclear war, political corruptness, the Holocaust, George Bush, and the entire human race:
And despite the massive death toll that continues unceasingly to grow the Burning 43rd reminds us to stay the course Digging the trenches ever so wide, and ever so deep Sending the human race to its eternal sleep
Just so you know, the Burning 43rd is George Bush Jr. I compare him in other poems to the Burning Bush (a deceptive, misleading burning bush), and since he is the 43rd president of the country formerly known as the "United" States of America, he is the Burning 43rd.
Most of my poems are like this (though this excerpt is among my best so far), and far different from the above poem.
The first poem (the animal poem) is a good one, and much better than the song (the version with the people talking over it). The song, as written and recorded by Pink Floyd (without the voices) is one of the hardest to get PF songs ever. It's included on some rare bootlegs, but I don't know what version it is.
The second poem reminds me of Final Cut lyrics. You wrote, "a series of 10ish poems that I wrote against the Iraq war, nuclear war, political corruptness, the Holocaust, George Bush, and the entire human race", so it fits in with the Final Cut theme. I think it criticizes Bush and the war in an intelligent way. Great!
