This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
My mummy's dead
I can't get it through my head
Though it's been so many years
My mummy's dead
I can't explain
So much pain
I could never show it
My mummy's dead
I can't get it through my head
Though it's been so many years
My mummy's dead
I can't explain
So much pain
I could never show it
My mummy's dead

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this was written by lennon, but it should be under "the beatles", not "john lennon"
No, it's off of John's "Plastic Ono Band"
True, it's off of John's "Plastic Ono Band". This song is simply about his mother's death, his feelings about it all,the way it impacted his life, and how he reacted to those changes. My mom died last year and I can totally related to not being able to "get it through my head" in the sense that I couldn't accept the fact the she was just gone. It was ingeniously written; Lennon is commended for this song. It's short and sweet and it gets right to the point and it explains everything is so few words. I love it. Plus, the sound of the song itself is just powerful: it's sad and gloomy just like the feeling of losing a mother. A great song even though it's about a minute in length.
it's all about the feeling of grief you feel when you ponder on the thought of someone important you've lost (in this case, john's mum). the way it is recorded and the shortness of it adds to the overall impact. and matty keating : you're quite wrong there, lad.
Hard core. The roughest forty-nine seconds ever set down on an album. The pain just cuts through.
Also demostrates the crap people are putting out today. What mainstream artist today would bare their soul like John did with Plastic Ono Band?
I have to agree with AntBMSU. This is easily the best song from Plastic Ono Band, and probably the best Lennon solo song of them all. It's the most direct song I've ever heard.
I have to agree with erasmus and AntBMSU very cutting song hard core and personal. Not his best song though. I still give that to Imagine
The story behind the death of John Lennon's mother is really very tragic. As y'all probably know, John Lennon lived with his aunt and uncle, but he and his mother Julia frequently visited each other when John discovered she didn't live very far away at all. On her way home, from seeing John one evening, a cop accidentally ran her over and Julia was killed.
Naturally John took this very hard and was reported saying "I lost my mother twice. Once as a child of five and then again at seventeen. It made me very, very bitter inside. I had just begun to re-establish a relationship with her when she was killed."
