In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Mhm
Yeah
Oh, oh
Yeah-yeah
A couple of years
And I'm gonna know your name
It's like I waited for ya forever
And I know this might sound insane
But it wont be long
'Til we're gonna take this up
What I'm talking about is our future love (is our future love)
You're so far away
Maybe you're right next door
Got me picturing your face again
Something worth waiting for
I put all the others behind me
They don't live up
I know you're my fave
You and me, just for me
But baby, if they asked me
I would say I don't even know your name
And when they asked me
Does it change? No, it don't change a thing
'Cause there's something 'bout the way you'll love me
There's just something 'bout the way you'll know me
That I can't explain enough
There's just something 'bout our future love, future love, future love
There's just something 'bout our future love, future love, future love
Walking hand in hand
Going on a second date
I can picture what you're wearing and
I swear I can hardly wait
The thought of all the ways we'll meet for the very first time
I can see the place, feel the love, first sight
But baby, if they asked me
I would say I don't even know your name
And when they asked me
Does it change? No, it don't change a thing
'Cause there's something 'bout the way you'll love me
There's just something 'bout the way you'll know me
That I can't explain enough
There's just something 'bout our future love, future love, future love
There's just something 'bout our future love, future love, future love
Oh no, the minute you pull up next to me
We standing there like destiny
When it feels like you're fighting
Just to breathe that's when u know
The minute I pull up next to you
Suddenly I don't know what to do
Everything inside you says that I'm the one
But baby, if they asked me (asked me, baby)
I would say I don't even know your name
And when they asked me
Does it change? No, it don't change a thing
'Cause there's something 'bout the way you'll love me
There's just something 'bout the way you'll know me
That I can't explain enough
(Uh-uh uuh)
Baby, if they asked me (they asked me)
I would say I don't even know your name
And when they asked me
Does it change? No, it don't change a thing
'Cause there's something 'bout the way you'll love me (oh-oh)
There's just something 'bout the way you'll know me (yeah)
That I can't explain enough
There's just something 'bout our future love, future love, future love
There's just something 'bout our future love, future love, future love
It's just something 'bout our future love, future love, future love (our future love)
'Bout our future love, future love, future love
Future love

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
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.
no comments? pfft. Love this bloody song. It's cheesy but so freaking adorable.
I love this song. I think its about a guy waiting for the girl of his dreams.
I guess it's about meeting waiting for the perfect someone to enter your life. :) Love this song.
i think this is about looking for someone who you have a lot in common with and trying to find love with that person.
i agree, this song is cheesy, but you can't help but like it!:)
