This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well, hope is an anchor and love is a ship
Time is the ocean and life is a trip
You don't know where you're going
'Til you know where you're at and if you can't read the stars
Well you better have a map, a compass and a conscience
So you don't get lost at sea or on some ol' lonely island
Where no one wants to be
From the beginning of creation, I think our maker had a plan
For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide us through the waves and the wind
To the beaches in a world where we have never been
And we'll climb up on the mountain, y'all we'll let our voices ring
When those who've never tried it, they'll be the first to sing
Whoa, my, my
I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
I let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go
Where the streets are gold
'Cause you'll be there
Oh, my, my
Well, you don't bring nothing with you here
And you can't take nothing back
I ain't never seen a hearse with a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees up prayin'
Scarred my back from fallin' down
I spent so much time flying high, 'til I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watchin' me, would you talk to God and say
Tell Him I might need a hand to see you both someday
Whoa, my, my
So I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I wanna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
I let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go
Where the streets are gold
'Cause you'll be there (you'll be there)
Whoa, my, my
'Cause you'll be there (you'll be there)
Whoa, my ,my
Time is the ocean and life is a trip
You don't know where you're going
'Til you know where you're at and if you can't read the stars
Well you better have a map, a compass and a conscience
So you don't get lost at sea or on some ol' lonely island
Where no one wants to be
From the beginning of creation, I think our maker had a plan
For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide us through the waves and the wind
To the beaches in a world where we have never been
And we'll climb up on the mountain, y'all we'll let our voices ring
When those who've never tried it, they'll be the first to sing
Whoa, my, my
I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
I let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go
Where the streets are gold
'Cause you'll be there
Oh, my, my
Well, you don't bring nothing with you here
And you can't take nothing back
I ain't never seen a hearse with a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees up prayin'
Scarred my back from fallin' down
I spent so much time flying high, 'til I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watchin' me, would you talk to God and say

Whoa, my, my

And it might be a long hard ride

Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
I let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go
Where the streets are gold
'Cause you'll be there (you'll be there)
Whoa, my, my
'Cause you'll be there (you'll be there)
Whoa, my ,my

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.
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/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
i dont think we should spend time defining this song...it should be a special thing to every1 individually........it is so beautiful
I have always loved this song, I think the meaning is very explicit and it's beautiful. George Strait did not write it himself though, but was drawn to the song -- and pretty sure it was dedicated to his daughter Jennifer who he lost when she was 13 in a car accident. Lovely song, it's a happy kinda sad.
its about not knowing if youll make it to Heaven but trying your best anyway, "a compass and a conscience..." its about how its so important to see that special someone again no matter what it takes, its about love and about being in love for all Eternity! its the want to go to Heaven in order to be with your love and with GOD for all Eternity!!! -I Love You Jackie For All Eternity No Matter What!!! !!! !!!-
I think it's about making good choices, in order to get a good outcome... Like people face obstacles all the time, but he knows what he has to do even if it is hard in order to be with the one that he loves and God. Amazinggg song.
This really is a beautiful song. He wants to go to Heaven because someone who was very close to him is there. He wants to be reunited with them, so he is trying his hardest to live a good life so that when he does cross to the other side he will be with them.
Im with rocknchick..This song is so beautiful and true that it shouldn't be set for one purpose..It'll mean something to every person who hears it.
The song has so many clever metaphors that seem like they were taken out of the most intellegent of poets or writers, "Hope is an anchor, and love is a ship - Time is the ocean and life is a trip." It means different to everyone that hears it, but the intended meaning is obviously about heaven and how hard the life on Earth will be to get to go there, but we've all got the chance to go and if we want to go, then we can. But I keep thinking that George is singing to someone who has died because he is singing about getting to heaven because "You'll be there."
