This is the place
They say
People come from far far far away
To find their dreams
Chasin' down these meteors and comets called dreams
(Chasin' em chasin' em chasin' em)
In the sky of life
In certain hotspots where these meteors and stars have a tendency to fall
And legend has it
That California is one of those spots
I believe that to be true

They say
This the place where stars are born
They say
This is the place where legends are made
They say
This is the place where angels come play
They say
That this is the place where it all can happen
For you, for you, for you, for you
California, knows how to make dreams seem so sweet
California, knows how to whisper in your ear and tell you
You're a star, you're a star, you're a star, you're a star
And you keep on staring
Pretty girls by the ocean side
Softly refuse to shine
Tasties on your mind
California knows how to party indeed
In the city of la
They say the angels come play
In the city, city of compton all over the world
In the city of good old watts
Beat don't stop, beat don't stop
In the city
California don't stop don't stop
All the ways from la to the bay indeed
Stars fall down here that's what they say
Indeed
All the way from la to the bay indeed stars fall down here
That's what they say
Its everything they say, its everything they say
Its the lights from across the bay
California!
Oh
Its the see-a-l-I-f-o-are-n-I-a
California knows how
To make me smile at ti-I-I-I-mes
Yes they do
California hey knows how to do what they do when they do what they do when they
Do what they do to me and you too
Hey
California
Hey ay ay
Phenomena phenomena worldwide original stop indeed
Mos def on the profile indeed
Attitude by the new so very will
(Worldwide original stop indeed
Mos def on the profile indeed
Attitude by the new so very will
Attitude by the new so very will
Attitude by the new so very will
Attitude by the new so very will
Whoo
In the city
Of la
It's everything they say
It's everything they say
It's everything they say
It's everything they say
It's everything they say

    This is one of my favorite songs to listen to as I cruise down PCH with my windows down.

    Just a song to describe the feeling and beauty of California.

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
