bright, my little bluesboy
you smile too much
let's see a nice frown
don't touch so much

he made it look fun
what's done is done
I am so stupid
you are so young
and still i'd have to say
that now and then i'd cry to see your smile

still I have no reason
I have no rhyme
i'm out of your time
you're out of town
a difference not in years
but in the distance from a place that I look through

you cried for me twice
and I have hope, but not enough, no not enough
no not so little that
i'd dare to tie the rope

she lied for you twice
she doesn't like me
I understand but
she isn't nice

and I sat by the window
you wrote a story
you think i'm evil
I hope you're wrong
and still i felt a spark
when it's implied that I had been a good thing
once

i'm still dumb
but you're still young, but not enough, no not enough
no not so old that you could
realize what you've done.

    Wow, first to comment. this is weird. To me, it's about a relationship that does not work - be it mother and child, father and son, lovers, parents, etc. The narrator is torn - they want to love the other but can't - and the subject is trying desperatlely to be loved.

    Only the one comment? Madness.

    I agree with OHcomely.

    Like a relationship with a lover.. someone alot younger..

    It reminds me of a relationship I had.. The girl was 4 years younger than me, Doesnt seem much but I was 20 she was 16.

    I mean I'm sure everyone could relate to it in a way.

    but to me an that relationship it goes a bit like this

    First verse to me is like she was always smiling happy etc being young.

    Second verse Well younger people make things look alot better/easier/cooler Can't change the past it's already done I was an idiot for being with someone so young but I still cared an awful lot for her

    Third verse I had no reason to be so nasty to her the age thing was kinda getting to me The difference wasnt just the age.

    Fourth verse I had hoipe for the relationship but not enough I didnt see it going very far and I defo wouldnt have tied the rope!

    fifth verse Remminds me of her mother. her mum lied to her dad She didnt like me at all, doesnt approve of her little girl going out with an older girl. I understood that but her mum was a witch!

    Sixth verse Basically the girl ended up hating me Saying I was "evil" in a sense An I was hoping I wasnt when she said that I was a good thing in her life it made me want to get back... although I knew it was the wrong thing to do

    Last verse.. I'm still an idiot for even thinking about gettin back there She's still young not much has changed but shes not old enough to realise that she had hurt me more than I had hurt her

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
