This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Well I have known you
For just a little while
But I feel I've known you
I feel I've seen you
When the Earth was split in fives
And in your words, I
Should let it out, I
Would see you die
But I'm a watcher
I see it watch her
It's in your afterlife
This is the Age of Adz
Eternal living
Oh keep from trying
Oh keep from caring
You are the light
We see you trying to
Be something else that
You're not, we think you're nice
The circumstances
Of what I thought, I
Could see it now
I wouldn't be so
I wouldn't feel so
But it's a running wild
This is the Age of Adz
Eternal lving
When it dies, when it dies
It rots
And when it lives, when it lives
It gives it all it gots
This is the Age of Adz
Eternal living
It rots
It gives it all it gots
This is the Age of Adz
Eternal living
In all reflections
I see your method
I see it all
And what about you?
And what about me?
Are we the lost of lost
Don't speak too soon, don't
be fruit of loom, don't
Excite yourself
For what you see is
Not fantasy, it's
Not what it gets, but gives
This is the Age of Adz
Eternal living
In all reflections
I see it mentioned
I see it all
The gorgeous mess of
Your face impressed us
Imposed of all its art
This is the Age of Adz
Eternal living
When it dies, when it dies
It rots
And when it lives, when it lives
It gives it all it gots
This is the Age of Adz
Eternal living
It rots
It gives it all it gots
This is the Age of Adz
Eternal living
When I die, when I die
I'll rot
But when I live, when I live
I'll give it all I've got
When I die, when I die
I'll rot
But when I live, when I live
I'll give it all I've got
Gloria, Gloria
Victoria, Victoria
It lives in all of us
Gloria, Gloria
Victoria, Victoria
It lives in all of us
I've lost the will to fight
I was not made for life
I've lost the will to fight
I was not made for life
Now I have known you
For just a little while
I feel I must be wearing my welcome
I must be moving on
For my intentions were good intentions
I could have loved you
I could have changed you
I wouldn't be so
I wouldn't feel so
Consumed by selfish thoughts
I'm sorry if I seem self-effacing
Consumed by selfish thoughts
It's only that I still love you deeply
It's all the love I've got
For just a little while
But I feel I've known you
I feel I've seen you
When the Earth was split in fives
And in your words, I
Should let it out, I
Would see you die
But I'm a watcher
I see it watch her

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Having now heard I Walked, Impossible Soul, Too Much Love and Age of Adz, I think it might take some time for me to get used to Suf's new sound. I guess I just need to go through a grieving period over what seems to be the end of his old style, but I understand that he needs to grow as a musician and evolve in whatever direction interests him. We could see this change coming based on the interviews he's given over the last few years, but it will still be hard to accept the change.
Whatever, man.. Accepting the change isn't hard when the music is still as good as ever. If I want to hear his old stuff, I'll listen to it. But I'm totally glad he isn't just releasing more albums of the same old shit. He's still amazing. And 'The Age of Adz' is a fantastic album.
sorry @sufstuff but this is not a new Sufjan... cf. Enjoy Your Rabbit or A Sun Came. this is the album that Sufjan always wanted to do.
I agre with andgtome. Enjoy Your Rabbit came out a two full years before Michigan, and a lot of Sufjan fans have been waiting for something that sounds like this for quite a while now.
For real @Nimbus, Andgtome, indiewinrar. And Christ! the instrumental arrangements on this album are breathtaking. Reminds me of a little bit of the BQE. Frankly, this song is BAD ASS AS BALLS. I love this album and it doesn't detract from my love of Illinois at at all.
Go listen to Enjoy Your Rabbit again. It's not the same thing. And how is it wrong to have different tastes than someone else? I'm not saying other people shouldn't like his new stuff as much. I just said that I still prefer his earlier stuff better. Relax, folks. We don't all have to have the exact same tastes. Sufjan was right - some of his fans take themselves and him too seriously.
It's official: I love this album. I'm sure my journey mirrors many other Sufjan fans (many of whom probably wouldn't be willing to admit it for fear of backlash from extremists like you see above) who were very wary of this album after reading all of Suf's interviews. But after listening to the album many times in preparation of attending one of his shows, especially in this last week, I am once again in awe of his genius. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he is able to turn one of my least favorite genre into something I love. While I still do like his earlier stuff the most, I appreciate this album as an artistic journey that I am taking with Sufjan as he leads me into musical territory in which I never intended to venture.
Sorry @Andgtome, I agree with sufstuff. You definitely need to go back and listen to Enjoy Your Rabbit and A Sun Came (more so to Enjoy Your Rabbit because I don't think it sounds ANYTHING like Age of Adz but I do see similarities between it and A Sun Came). Yeah, he went back to a more electronic sound that is prevalent in those two albums, but a lot of the things that made the 50 States albums so great are mixed in with that electronic sound. It's something new.
I agree with sufstuff's second post. When I first listened to Age of Adz I missed his old stuff, but once I got past the fact that it was different and listened a few more times I fell in love with it. Its still Sufjan so its still genius.
