This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, woah
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving everything inside and out and
Love's strange, so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
Don't you, forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you, forget about me
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, woah
Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security, ah
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby
Don't you, forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you, forget about me
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on, call my name
Will you call my name?
I say
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
When you walk on by
And you call my name
When you walk on by
Ooh, woah
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving everything inside and out and
Love's strange, so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
Don't you, forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you, forget about me
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, woah
Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security, ah
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby
Don't you, forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you, forget about me
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on, call my name
Will you call my name?
I say
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
When you walk on by
And you call my name
When you walk on by

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I didn't know that this song was written for the movie but that makes perfect sense. It relates perfectly to what brian said. "Will you call my name, or just walk on by?" Brian talked about how he considered them as friends after that day and asked when they were back at school with all their friends from different cliques would they say hi? or just ignore each other? And besides that this song fit the movie. especially in the end when the principle is reading Brian's note. Back then, movies had a point.
This song express love and the lack of it because of rigid social conventions.
I remember all the people I went to school with for many years and learned to know at parties/clubs etc. Today it is impossible to greet any of them when you suddenly meet them at the street years later.
We all just walk on by.
I rejoice at these really obnoxious moments, because then I know that love is the greatest thing and what most of us all seek to find in our life. Love.
@RonAnd <br /> "This song express love and the lack of it because of rigid social conventions."<br /> it does. that's such the perfect summing up.
This is my favorite 80s song. Simply beautiful and amazing.
I think that the song is actually very hopeful. Yes,the couple broke up,but he has hope for them and thus,he's happy. Which explains the LA LA LA at the end. He's singing because he's happy.
God this song is mindblowingly awesome.
This is my favorite 80's song ever.
Just like how The Breakfast Club is my favorite 80's movie
Mmm...great combination =]
So fitting to the Futurama episode it was on.
Especially suiting because Bender was named after Judd Nelson's character from the Breakfast Club, John Bender.
Such a beautiful, meaningful song.
ok i am i the only simple minds fan in this world? This song is defenitely not a one hit wonder. Simple minds is one of my top 5 favorite bands and all their albums are great and so are all their songs. What everyone doesn't seem to understand is that this song is one of their worst songs, im not saying its bad but simple minds released great songs in the late 80's, 90's and a couple years ago that no one even knows about that are 10 times better than this song but their songs didn't get much publicity cause people thought they vanished after don't you forget about me.
-people need to find their own music love and stop listening to that one song that everyone else loves. i have about 150 simple minds songs, if u agree with me i can lead u into the great path of simple minds fans. email me at crankles6392@msn.com if you want to know some more simple minds
btw this song is great and breakfast club is a classic movie
I realize this comment is almost four years old, but I can't agree with you more. Sure, this is a good song, but there are sooooo many better Simple Minds songs. Given the choice between this song or something like All the Things She Said or Speed Your Love to Me or even something way less obvious like In Every Heaven, I'd pick anything but Don't You Forget About Me.
@musiclvr36 very true
RIP John Hughes 8/6/09
Probably one of the best songs of the 1980's. It still hits home two decades after the fact. It always reminds me of Judd Nelson throwing his fist in the air as he walked toward the camera at the end of the film. Fade to darkness as this song revs up, talk about a classic finish.
Tinderbox - In this case Simple Minds were approached to record the song. Upon seeing it, Jim Kerr was skeptical as it wasn't their type of music. However, more than anything he and the other members wanted to break into the American market. The American market had always been the ultimate goal for them...so they recorded it. It worked but I don't think Jim Kerr ever felt for that song like he did for all the ones he wrote himself.
Anyway, that's what I got from reading 1001 articles on Simple Minds in my younger years. I was a huge fan.
