Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
it's about perseverence~ not giving up even when everything is going against you, and....pushing your way through anyway. but i think most people can tell >.<
on to details...
"When I close my eyes, everything seems to turn into lies." insecurity, perhaps.
"As long as I keep my eyes forward And push on straight ahead without stumbling on my way. If I do that, one day I'll probably be able to catch up with those clouds, too" being hopeful
"Then, I'll change it all, these really useless and boring values and predudice." this is what miyavism stands for!! so proud that im a fan of miyavi miyavi seems to be clearly stating what he is exactly aiming to achieve with his music; to change people, and destroy prejudice as much as possible. in interviews he mentions something about destroying prejudice (i assume social) against visual kei. from his music i also guess he's out to destroy racial prejudice. he's trying to be like a bridge between japan and the rest of the world or something...~
"No such thing as a meaningless, worthless or stupid dream, I'll show you." maybe his idea of wanting to destroy all those prejudice often gets mocked/criticised. seems like quite a tall order after all, to have one man change the world. this shows his determination....he won't be discouraged by criticism
"I wonder how long I should keep on walking I wonder how far I've walked 'til now Even if you look back, this wilderness keeps on getting bigger and the path ahead keeps going on On this road of lonliness, I start to think" miyavi might be insecure. after all he's mostly solo, (of course he has the support of all his fans and other members of the myv team) but he doesn't have say, a permanent bandmate or something like that, so that they can fight hand in hand. (i think?) it's natural that there are occasions where he feels alone. maybe he doesn't really have an exact, clear-cut 'plan' to achieve his goals, so he's scared. and he keeps himself busy with going around trying doing things in hope of succeeding. maybe sometimes, when he thinks about what he's done in the past, he thinks it's all crazy.
"Even if life is full of pain and suffering, meeting you wan't such a bad thing, so long as it keeps my mind of it all. So just for a bit more, won't you stay and not let go of my hand?" well, i have two intrepretations for this section. 'you' could be either us fans, or a specific somebody who means a lot to him. because miyavi always talks about how much his fans mean to him...see now, if he wanted to destroy prejudice, he needs people to help him right? like, he wants to change people, so first he needs people to start listening to what he wants to say. fans are people. if that's the case, he's asking us to hold his hand fot 'just a bit more', kind of like, "do you mind lending me your support a little more?" he's makin a humble request...
it'll also make sense, i guess, if he's addressing somebody special to him here. feeling insecure and lonely, he needs that person to stay with him, lend him support, comfort, accompany him...a
well for me...i think myv's really brave...>.< he's actually telling people that he is scared, and he needs our support. yeah..i think.
or maybe all my intrepretations are 'wrong.'
lol. >.<
miyavi. rocks. :D
陽の光さえ届かない この場所で 空見上げて 早送りの雲の流れを 目をつぶらずに追ってみた 怖かったんだ 目を閉じれば 全てが嘘になりそうで ちぎれた雲と雲の隙間を つなぐ様に風が叫んでる ふいに吹き飛ばされそうになるけれど、 少しくらいのブレはかまわない ただ前だけを見つめて 真っすぐに ただ揺らぐ事なく突き進むのさ そうすれば いつかは あの雲にも追いつけるだろう
終わらない この長い道のりの続く先に たとえ もし絶望しか無かったとしても その向こうには夢や希望が 綺麗事でもいいから在ると信じてたいね 道しるべはないけど もう自分で作れるから 目つむったままでも 耳をすまして歩いていけるさ
そしてマジくだらない つまらない 価値観や偏見なんて 変えてやるよ 意味のない 価値のない 無駄な夢なんてないって事 見せてみせる そう 変わらずに変えていくのさ 俺達の未来だろう? この手で掴んでくしかないのさ
どれくらい この先 歩けばいいんだろう どのくらい今まで歩いてきたんだろう 振り返っても広がる荒野と果てしなく続く道があるだけ 孤独な旅路(みち)の上で今 思う たとえ人生が痛みや苦しみで出来てたとしても それを拭(ぬぐ)う為 君と出会ったのならそれも悪くないさ だからもう少しだけでいいから この手を離さないで居てくれないか
Looking up to the skies of this place where the sun doesn't shine Without blinking, I tried following the fast-forwarded motion of the clouds.
It was terrifying. When I close my eyes, everything seems to turn into lies.
And the wind crying out, as it seems to put the torn pieces of clouds together. Then, all of a sudden, it's as if I"m blown away. But a little shake is nothing.
As long as I keep my eyes forward And push on straight ahead without stumbling on my way. If I do that, one day I'll probably be able to catch up with those clouds, too.
It's never-ending, this long journey ahead And even if there was only despair, I want to believe it's fine because there are hope and dreams ahead.
Though there aren't any trails where to go, I can already make one by myself. Even with my eyes closed, I can walk this path as long as I keep my ears open.
Then, I'll change it all, these really useless and boring values and predudice. No such thing as a meaningless, worthless or stupid dream, I'll show you. That's right. I'll change without changing. Isn't that out destiny? I have no choice but to grab a hold of it.
I wonder how long I should keep on walking I wonder how far I've walked 'til now Even if you look back, this wilderness keeps on getting bigger and the path ahead keeps going on On this road of lonliness, I start to think
Even if life is full of pain and suffering, meeting you wan't such a bad thing, so long as it keeps my mind of it all. So just for a bit more, won't you stay and not let go of my hand?
Looking up to the skies of this place where the sun doesn't shine.
I really love this song
It's wonderful
