@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I see the world through eyes of desperation
Never knew how long I'd fall
But I fell through years and years of darkness
Still I cannot seem to hit the ground
I let my guard down and you caught me by suprise
Nothing is ever carved in stone
Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been
If I didn't throw it away
Or will I struggle on
And find a better path for myself (for myself)
I've build my life upon decades of experience
But what I built for years took days for you to raze
In the end I learned that one single snowflake
Can set an avalanche in motion
Some questions are dangerous, the truth is not an option
This is the illusion I pulled down over your eyes
But I let my guard down and you caught me by suprise
Nothing is ever carved in stone
Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been
If I didn't throw it away
Or will I struggle on
And find a better path for myself (for myself)
I secure my every step, slowly I advance away from you
How can i forgive you when it wasn't your fault
Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been...
Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been
If I didn't throw it away
Or will I struggle on
And find a better path for myself (for myself)
Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been
If I didn't throw it away
Or will I struggle on
And find a better path for myself
Never knew how long I'd fall
But I fell through years and years of darkness
Still I cannot seem to hit the ground
I let my guard down and you caught me by suprise
Nothing is ever carved in stone
Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been
If I didn't throw it away
Or will I struggle on
And find a better path for myself (for myself)
I've build my life upon decades of experience
But what I built for years took days for you to raze
In the end I learned that one single snowflake
Can set an avalanche in motion
Some questions are dangerous, the truth is not an option
This is the illusion I pulled down over your eyes
But I let my guard down and you caught me by suprise
Nothing is ever carved in stone
Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been
If I didn't throw it away
Or will I struggle on
And find a better path for myself (for myself)
I secure my every step, slowly I advance away from you

Will I spend my life wondering

Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been
If I didn't throw it away
Or will I struggle on
And find a better path for myself

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,
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.
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'm loving the love and other disasters album. I've noticed there's an imporvement in their music compared to their previous albums eden fire and only inhuman, maybe because it's more melodic? I'm finding the vocals, drum and guitar work to improvise more perfectly to produce better sound and harmony. I can def see their influences shining through their work. Most of their songs hold a similiar format/ structure or sound effect to that of Soilwork's songs. The guttural growls can also challenge that of Anders in, In Flames. This band is truly talented and without a doubt their future works will be even better. This song, affliction, damage control, fallout, red-eyed friend, ruin, encaged, hellgate and powershift (might as well say the entire album) are my fav tracks.
what do you think about the new direction thier taking with nathan?
I think what this song means the singer always felt bad, or never felt love. Then he found some one that he actually likes but then she breaks up with him, or she disappeared, and now he feels all alone again.
