This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I feel sorrow for the fear
And everything it brings
Wonder if it will ever sleep
I know you understand
'Cause you briefly look away
Focusing on nothing so now everything is clear
'Cause there's no one to blame
You got no place to hide
It's only in your mind
And I saw you in amazement stumbling through the day
You told me time never waits
What is that supposed to mean?
All of life is in one drop of the ocean waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon can turn the tides
It can pull the tears and take 'em from our eyes
And make 'em into monsoons
And turn 'em into monsoon-er or later they'll weep their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Ye, free for a while
Until they break like waves of sorrow always do
All in due time
'Cause time never waits
Daddy don't daydream again
Just help me to believe and then
Show me that there's more than the mean time
Sonny do you hear the sound?
You will feel it when it breaks
You will know it when it's gone
How else can I explain?
'Cause it's only the pain
Coming straight through
Coming to remind
Cross cut to you in amazement stumbling through the day
You tell me time never waits
That's okay 'cause I don't wait for time
When all of life is in one drop of the ocean waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon can turn the tides
It can pull the tears and take 'em from our eyes
And turn 'em into monsoons
And make 'em into monsoon-er or later they'll weep their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Free for a while
Until they break
Like waves of sorrow always break
All in due time
'Cause time never waits
And everything it brings
Wonder if it will ever sleep
I know you understand
'Cause you briefly look away
Focusing on nothing so now everything is clear
'Cause there's no one to blame
You got no place to hide
It's only in your mind
And I saw you in amazement stumbling through the day
You told me time never waits
What is that supposed to mean?
All of life is in one drop of the ocean waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon can turn the tides
It can pull the tears and take 'em from our eyes
And make 'em into monsoons
And turn 'em into monsoon-er or later they'll weep their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Ye, free for a while
Until they break like waves of sorrow always do
All in due time
'Cause time never waits
Daddy don't daydream again
Just help me to believe and then
Show me that there's more than the mean time
Sonny do you hear the sound?
You will feel it when it breaks
You will know it when it's gone
How else can I explain?
'Cause it's only the pain
Coming straight through
Coming to remind
Cross cut to you in amazement stumbling through the day
You tell me time never waits
That's okay 'cause I don't wait for time
When all of life is in one drop of the ocean waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon can turn the tides
It can pull the tears and take 'em from our eyes
And turn 'em into monsoons
And make 'em into monsoon-er or later they'll weep their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Free for a while
Until they break
Like waves of sorrow always break
All in due time
'Cause time never waits

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."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I think this song is about not letting life's hardships paralyze you with depression. That you could make up your own mind to rise above whatever you're going through. "‘Cause there’s no one to blame; You got no place to hide; It’s only in your mind." No matter what, everyone is going to experience "sorrow", and it's up to you to keep moving forward despite these obstacles, because time won't wait for you. Basically it's saying don't let life pass you by, and to keep living your life no matter what and eventually you will experience happiness again. This is what it means to me, because I deal a lot with depression. I love this song, it is so inspirational to me :)
