Hey now,
Letters burning by my bed for you
Hey now,
I can feel my instincts here for you
Hey now
By my bed for you
Hey now
Hey now

Uhu
You know it is frightening
Uhu, uhu,
You know it's like lightning
Hey now, now

Hey now,
Letters burning by my bed for you
Hey now
Leave it to the wayside like you do, for you
Imagination calling mirrors for you
Hey now
Hey now

Uhu
You know it is frightening
Uhu uhu,
You know it's like lightning, now now now now
Hey now, now
Hey now, now
Hey now, now
Hey now, now
Uhu, uhu
Uhu, uhu

    Song Meaning

    I saw something by London Grammar, and they were saying that this isn't really a song, but a vibe. I totally get that.

    The song is about someone on their own, in their room, at night, yearning for a lover. There's a great deal of passion and longing expressed here

    My Interpretation

    This song could be interpreted in SO many ways.

    At its essence seems to be a struggle and a dialogue. The struggle is "frightening" but is also energising, being "like lightning".

    To me this song resonates as an internal dialogue in which the speaker is inspired and excited by, yet frightened of, some burning instinct. For me personally, with what has been going on in my life, I connect this song to an inspired contemplation in building support for Scottish Independence.

    It's a slow-burning build-up of quietly inspired excitement. I first listened to this song while driving at dusk on the outskirts of my hometown and the sky was vibrant swathes of pinks, lilacs and blues. Abstractly, an enticement to freedom.

    This is what I love about LG's album - their songs can be interpreted to fit so many different molds.

    I'm having trouble figuring out a few of London Grammar's songs. Any of you figured this one out, already? I absolutely love their stuff...

    My Opinion

    The Bonobo remix of this song is sublime. Original is great too, of course. There's something about the mood of this song that I connect with. What MaddiLove said I feel applies to myself.

    To me this song is about falling in love with someone or liking someone passionately and yearning for them but at the same time being afraid of the feelings.

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."

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
