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.
What the blood clot, I rap a lot
What you gonna do when the beat goes drop?
What you talking bout Willis, who's the illest?
You know my name is Adam, stop calling me Phyllis
You hear some fuss, you're like what's the clamor?
It's just me naked on the cover of Glamor
A phenomenon, pandemonium
The club is blowing up like plutonium
What's all the fanfare, what's the to-do?
We're known to bring the hullabaloo
On stage or at the spa, guaranteed we bring the brouhaha
'Cause it's a brouhaha ('cause it's a brouhaha)
There's a commotion that's going down
I talk more trash than Drown the Clown
'Cause I'm like that freak from Cirque du Soleil
With my leg behind my head and a rhyme to say
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four
Get up on the mic and I'ma even the score
One, two, three, three, t-two, one
Don't carry a knife and I don't carry a gun
We be makin' mountains out of Cool Whip
Pass me the mint for the julep
Tell me everybody, where is the love?
Hey, no-no-no-no-no-no, ha ha ha
'Cause it's a brouhaha ('cause it's a brouhaha)
Communicator check, one-two-one-two
This is Bones McCoy on a line to Sulu
Set your forehead to warp factor one
Check your tri-corder, set your phaser to stun
Oh mais oui, you can catch me at Jon Vie with a pastry
You say, si c'est bon, oh n'est-ce pas?
Qu'est-ce-que le brouhahaha, ha ha ha ha!
Just got back from Japan and ooh I'm laggin'
Going roar, roar with the dungeon dragon
You can dance if you want to, leave your friends behind
But if they don't dance and they won't dance they can kiss my oh-oh, ah-ah
'Cause it's a brouhaha ('cause it's a brouhaha)
What you gonna do when the beat goes drop?
What you talking bout Willis, who's the illest?
You know my name is Adam, stop calling me Phyllis
You hear some fuss, you're like what's the clamor?
It's just me naked on the cover of Glamor
A phenomenon, pandemonium
The club is blowing up like plutonium
What's all the fanfare, what's the to-do?
We're known to bring the hullabaloo
On stage or at the spa, guaranteed we bring the brouhaha
'Cause it's a brouhaha ('cause it's a brouhaha)
There's a commotion that's going down
I talk more trash than Drown the Clown
'Cause I'm like that freak from Cirque du Soleil
With my leg behind my head and a rhyme to say
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four
Get up on the mic and I'ma even the score
One, two, three, three, t-two, one
Don't carry a knife and I don't carry a gun
We be makin' mountains out of Cool Whip
Pass me the mint for the julep
Tell me everybody, where is the love?
Hey, no-no-no-no-no-no, ha ha ha
'Cause it's a brouhaha ('cause it's a brouhaha)
Communicator check, one-two-one-two

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.
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/
Head > Heels

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 is a quality track, one of the best on to the 5 boroughs.
in the album cover there are loads of editors notes - thi song is filled with them - well funny - in which he attacks the Beasties lack of vocabulary concerning the word 'brouhaha'.
