Well, I hold this love
Like the smallest bird
And I hear each sigh
Each tender word
Any hour spent
In a day with you
Is a moment's mercy
For a heart so blue

When there's only you in my world
When there's only you in my world

And we'll only talk
'Cause that's how things are
You're as far from me
As the farthest star
Oh and how I wonder
Wonder who you are?

When there's only you in my world
When there's only you in my world
One boy and just one girl
When there's only you in my world

And a heart will break
And a heart will mend
When I see your face
When we meet again
And that heart will hope
With all its might
For the briefest kiss
At the edge of night

Tell me why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby cry
I tell you no lie baby, lie baby lie
I'm gonna cry baby, cry baby cry

    To me, this song reads as a lullaby to an absent love - the oblique references to babies crying and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star reinforce it. That person is all that is in his world - to the point that he can only sing about her when she's not there.

    I like your interpretation, but he should sing to her when she's there; it would mean so much more. Twinkle Twinkle is the only song that would calm one of my crying babies; I used to sing it (off key) many times over until s/he would fall asleep.

    My Opinion

    It's a waste of precious time to think about what might have been. Artists should whisper wise words in our ears and not fan our inner Berlusconi. Of course some artists merely want our bread.

    I married the right person, and I shouldn't have married anyone else.
    Furthermore, if I'd married someone else, marrying the right one wouldn't have happened. When I think way back to unhappier days I tell myself no, you weren't supposed to be happy until you met the someone to take you in hand.

    I'm not annoyed by "Take my hand, take my whole life too, 'cause I can't help falling in love with you."

Mountain Song
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."

Magical
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.
