You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
You bring light in
To a dark place
Walking in light
Glowing, walking in light
Gold ring around you, the
Hues of you, the
Golden sunlight of you

There was a little drawing of a heart next to that, followed by an exclamation mark
The back of his was covered in stuff, stuff like
Brandon is not a very nice guy, but Alex is so nice
And that had the exclamation thing too
It was just silly crap that hit the spot
And he let himself be drawn in

    While on the surface this song seems happy, there's an underlying sinister feel. It's almost as if the feeling of happiness is about to be taken over by a deep depression. Midway through the track, the spoken prologue gets repeated and is accompanied by a really dark riff. The innocent sounding story about the guy who reads the adolescent style, gossipy doodles and gets 'drawn in' takes on a spookier meaning. Does he become obsessed, jealous, possessive, paranoid even? The song could well be about having a crush on someone, observing them from a distance and fantasising about what it would be like to be with them. Clearly the subject in the song is depressed, because the lyrics include the line 'you bring light in/to a dark place' - he's imagining this woman making him happy and washing away his despair. But as the song progresses, the darkness slowly seeps in, but subtly so...as implied by changes in the music. Karl Hyde's a fantastic lyricist, a real original. His lyrics are poetic, containing vivid imagery...and often he expresses ideas in fragments - i.e. the sentences aren't finished or grammatical. He actually uses a stream of consciousness style, like the beat poets of the 1960s did. Also, he sometimes mixes his own words in with fragments of conversations he has overheard, and it may well be the case that the 'prologue' with the London girl in this track was actually taken from a real conversation. Also, it may be that this spoken part has no relation whatsoever to the rest of the song, and simply inserted for the fun of it, and to playfully lead listeners astray by getting them to speculate about its meaning. Also, the title 'Two Months Off' seems to have no relation to the subject matter of the song. It may have been arbitrarily chosen. All in all though, a fantastic track.

    I realy like this song, The epilogue at the beginning by the chick with the london accent just makes me smile i love the part when she says "It was just silly crap that hit the spot. And he let himself be drawn in" i guessin its about a guy who likes someone called Alex, and all the silly stuff is making him be drawn in, tis nice :)

    Great Song! Is it about someone/something that makes you happy?

    the almost naive sense of happiness of this song is quite moving. w4sert, i think it's definitely about someone very radiant, who makes you happy.

    I believe the title gives insight to the story. The guy has been drawn in by jealousy and decided two take some time apart from the girl. But as he reaches the two months off he figures out she's perfect for him.

    Brandon is not a very nice guy, but Alex is sooo nice.

    Brandon and Alex???

    Quite possibly refers to the Dj Duo of Brandon Block and Alex P(etridis)

    This is a song about spiritual experience/ falling in love/ taking drugs all at the same time. It encorporates chant and repeated rhythms and high tech. Its doing what music has been doing for thousands of years - getting you to escape your individual head and bond in an ecstatic group experience.

    Its a hard thing to do well.

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
