Caro 2000,
quanto tempo è già passato dal lontano zero.
Proprio non te l’aspettavi che toccasse a te,
ma la lista d’attesa è finita.

Senti,
sai che ci aspettiamo molto dalla tua venuta,
tipo un valido vaccino contro l’HIV
per amare in Europa
senza il problemino del computerino che fa tilt:
non ti riconosce,
lui ti crede 900 e invece sei 2000.

Credi
di essere il migliore anno del futuro.
Non lo sai che l’anno prossimo c’è l’odissea
nello spazio?
Senti il peso delle responsabilità.
Non ci pensi a quelli che verranno dopo
tipo il 4000, il 6000, il 19000,
il 30000, tipo il 98003
o il 100000?
Non sei nessuno.
Ti credi il futuro,
ma futuro non sei.

Nel 100000
l’uomo si sarà evoluto ed avrà fatto tutto;
la natura si sarà rimboschita un po’
e volare non sarà un problema.
Con un filo d’erba salverò l’umanità.
Con le branchie salveremo chi non sa nuotare,
e voleremo con facilità.

Quindi,
caro il mio 2000, vedi di volare basso.

    This soulful ballad, written and released in 1999, is an open letter to the highly anticipated year 2000. Elio tells the new year to cool it off because it's not all it's cracked up to be, particularly compared to year 100000. By then, the band hope to meet again with their late multi-instrumentalist Feiez.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Holiday
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
