Hi-Fi

Where you gonna run to now
That you ain't got space to fill
What you gonna do with your time now
You ain't got time to kill

Where you locked in coverage falling in time
And it's hot enough just to let your song go by
I'm gonna give it to you
If you let me give it to you

Hey hey

So let me turn the volume up get a little bit of Hi-Fi
Drown out all the sirens in the back of my mind

Bah bah bah ba

Now you gonna settle your ties
With you ain't got bind to tie up
Why burn your bridges?
When you can blow your bridges up

Where you locked in coverage falling in time
And it's hot enough just to let your ideas go by
I'm gonna give it to you
If you let me give it to you

Hey hey

So let me turn the volume up get a little bit of Hi-Fi
Drown out all the sirens in the back of my mind

Let me turn the volume up get a little bit of Hi-Fi
Drown out all the sirens in the back of my mind

Now they're calling all cars from the north to the Southside
Better get the east and its coming from the Westside
They're calling all cars from the north to the Southside
Better get the east and its coming from the Westside

    Its interesting how M Ward and Bright Eyes seem to go hand in hand... at any rate this song is totally buzzing. its all about smiling and lauging and gathering and appreciating. its the ultimate song for idealists

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Mountain Song
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."

Magical
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.
