    Ok, this song was released on the Kevin and Bean album WITHOUT the long intro, so no need to discuss it. Now this is a wonderful song (although repetitive again), truly hitting the epic sound that Tom reaches for. My only question is, what the heck does this have to do with Christmas?

    The snow, has come down, on top of everything, The town, was alive and well without you. The lights, they peer out, of the leafless trees, And you won't, be alone, I am beside you.

    (True love) The stars in the sky illuminate below, The light is the sign that love will guide you home. The stars in the sky illuminate below, If the world were to die, the light would guide you.

    'Foundation4life' i think it was in the Christmas album as it must have some meaning to christmas as the title "Star of Bethleham" suggests. The star was the guide that led the 3 kings to jesus on his birth in bethleham. The lyrics say this but it related to love or sumshit: "The stars in the sky illuminate below, The light is the sign that love will guide you home."

    well thats how I interpret that.

    This is the best Christmas music I've ever heard........mostly because it's not about Christmas.

    The song is about love, and coming home to the one you care about.

    i think this song would be a lot more beautiful if it didnt take a song that should have been about Jesus (obviously) and make it about some girl...blah.

    Yes, but that is the fundamental weakness of Angels and Airwaves. The music is so epic and the lyrics should be about something bigger. Sometimes the relationship analogy just seems forced.

    yes, i agree. even in the war, the lyrics force in the relationship analogy which is annoying considering the topic of the song.

    but i think most of the lyrics have to do with christmas. the true love and light are a reference to god/jesus guiding you home

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
