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.

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
A lot of big names were on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony list. But one name was suspiciously absent. So if you don't mind I'd like to say something to the members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Membership Committee... What the fuck is wrong with you people? The Bay City Rollers are one of the most talented performers in the history of popular music, and this is the thanks they get? I don't know where you were in 1975, but it was a pretty dark time for me. My wife Betty had just left me, and I'd developed a pretty powerful crush on the old nose candy. Every night I'd end up at Plato's Retreat, backing my brains out. Bang, bang bang! Ha ha ha. Whoa nelly! Ha ha ha! Bang, BANG BANG! WHOA, MAMA! AH! But the point is, the point is, the Bay City Rollers and their music, that sweet delicious music got me though that revered, fevered summer. The Bay City Rollers saved my life. And for that, they deserve a place in the pantheon. Hit it! Gotta keep on dancin' to the rock n roll Saturday night! Saturday night! Dance to the rhythm in my heart and soul! Saturday night, Saturday night! I, I, I, I just can't wait! I, I, I, I got a date... Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I can't go on! I'm sorry! No! No! I'm sorry! I can't..no! I'm sorry!
Excellent bubblegum power-pop. Much of their catalog still holds up well today. Plus, even Dee Dee Ramone was a huge fan.
i thought it went 'suh-suh-suh-saturday niiiiight' for the longest time. i guess not! that's disappointing. i think i'll still sing it like that anyway. :)
