So this is what's in store.
It doesn't hurt to try.
There is no pain in death,
it only hurts to die.
The cut that stings.
Look before you leap.
All blown apart.

A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
Did not expect this shit at all,
to go through this again.

What do you want from my life, I ask myself.
Loading my questions like a shotgun.
You can f**k every chance with one shot,
you think that's the answer.
The cut that stings.
Look before you leap.
All blown apart.

A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
All blown apart.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
All blown apart.

Did not expect this shit at all,
to go through this again.

You live on your knees.
So this is what's in store.
Pull your head up,
no one cares at all.
You fooled yourself in the past,
believing what you wanted to.

A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.

    It's a crying shame. I'm a big fan of Walter Schreifels, who fronted this band after his tenure in the Gorilla Biscuits (circa '86-'91). Quicksand released one EP, two LPs (1993's 'Slip' and 1995's opus 'Manic Compression' from which this track is the centerpiece) on a major label, garnered limited success on college radio, and then disbanded. Walter went on to form the phenomenal Rival Schools project (one EP and on CD).

    He's the core of evolution. All the bands releases should be culled together to form a proper discography Ia - Gorilla Biscuits - 'S/T' EP [1988] Ib - Gorilla Biscuits - 'Start Today!' [1989] IIa - Moondog (Quicksand) - 'S/T' CDEP [2006] IIb - Quicksand - 'S/T' CDEP (Slip Demos) [1990] IIc - "Dine Alone"/"How Soon is Now?" CDEP [1992] III - Quicksand - 'Slip' [1993] IV - Quicksand - 'Manic Compression' [1995] Va - Rival Schools United - 'S/T' CDEP [2001] Vb - Rival Schools - 'United by Fate' [2001] VI - Walking Concert - 'Run to Be Born' [2004]

    Now that's a fairly concise list offering the stages of Walter's career, from guitarist of 80's hardcore heroes the Gorilla Biscuits to his budding songwriting for the Moondog project, a band that in months would evolve into Quicksand. It should be noted that Walter reluctantly released the Moondog EP a few months ago, back in late '06. Fans of proto-Quicksand should DEFINITELY check it out...

    Rival Schools was a formidable and riveting band (like and 'Axis: Bold as Love' to Manic Compression's 'Are You Experienced?'), but Walter's streamlined, stripped and focused 'Walking Concert' is maybe the best of the lot...

    Sneedy, thanks for the detailed info on all of Walter's work. I wasn't aware of all the other projects he had but checked them all out after I saw your post. I think he has a solo album out now as well which is very different from his earlier stuff, but good as well.

    I've been in love with Quicksand since Slip came out when I was in high school. I listen to a huge variety of music but Slip is my favorite album of all time, period. I have listened to it more than any other album I've ever owned and it never gets old. Manic Compression is awesome as well but hard to compare anything to Slip. This is definitely my favorite song on Manic Compression though. Shame there's hardly any comments on quicksand and a shame they didn't stay together forever. Just lucky I saw them perform while they were together. Actually saw them in a show with the deftones, deftonesgirl 57! Was unbelievable.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
