| Chris Squire – Run With the Fox Lyrics | 7 months ago |
|
The whole Christmas album is absolutely glorious. I've been listening to it these past few days. This song (the last on the album) to me sounds more New Year than Christmas, more like "get ready, the past is gone, and here's the present/future, all coming to you in Technicolor now, the bad and the good and all of it, and it ain't for the faint of heart". The fox as the hunted (dogs baying at his heels) and yet running TO (chasing) the future, as much as running AWAY from (fleeing) the past - even understanding the bad to inevitably be found there as well. It's a really weird "hopeful" song. |

@[42:48085] steps lol "From June 5-6, 2012, an exceedingly rare occurrence is to take place: from here on Earth, we will be able to see Venus cross in front of the sun, making itself evident as a small black spot slowly moving across the solar disk. This is among the rarest of astronomical events." |

Seems like i hear about four different voice effects in this particular song. A lot of choices purposely made in the delivery of it. I usually can't stand music purposely slowed and made (overly) dramatic. But this one I'm really fond of. Probably because I heard this before I ever heard the original. |

| The Association – Along Comes Mary Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
@[Tolinv:33378] The (rather troubling) words of the apparition of Garabandal: "Since my Message of October 18, 1961 has not been complied with and has not been made much known to the world, I will tell you that this is the last one. Before the chalice was filling now it is overflowing. MANY CARDINALS, MANY BISHOPS, AND MANY PRIESTS ARE ON THE PATH OF PERDITION AND THEY TAKE MANY SOULS WITH THEM. " So yeah, it's a comparison worth at least an observation. |
|
| The Association – Along Comes Mary Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
@[Tolinv:33377] This is a point of this particular apparition: Besides the two "messages", the visionaries forecast a "warning", a "miracle" and a "punishment" (if people do not correct their ways). The warning is described as a momentary stopping of time around the world, with all people then seeing the spiritual condition of their souls, and how they should amend their ways. Within a year of the warning, a miracle will take place. The miracle will leave a permanent sign in Garabandal, which can be seen and photographed, but not touched. The "miracle" will occur between March and May. The "punishment," or "chastisement," is conditional upon how humankind reacts to the preceding "warning" and "miracle." |

| The Jesus and Mary Chain – Just Like Honey Lyrics | 4 years ago |

| Yes – Awaken Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
I'm such a new Yes fan and so ignorant of the things that have informed their music ("The Singer", etc.) but I love this song so much now (and it took me so long to even be able to get through it). So this is how I relate to it, not line by line, but as a whole. A)I view it as the ultimate secular hymn. A hymn to the history and achievements of man and what we're capable of. Between the name of the album "Going for the One" and the design of the album cover, there's nothing on earth that it brings to mind so much as The Fountainhead. Man as master of all he sees and can create. B) Second interpretation, based on my apparent mishearing of a single line - "past a mortal as me" vs. what I've been hearing - "vast immortal as me"... "here we (not "I") can be".... a finding a place to rest, to pioneer. This colors my perception of this particular song. It almost seems on the surface to be related to the "Olias" storyline (the little I know of it). And odd.... flowing of identity from singular to plural. "Me" to "we" and back again. |

| Yes – Endless Dream: Silent Spring/Talk/Endless Dream Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
Two voices, speaking two different thoughts. Rabin's voice - Cynicism, worldliness, dispair? Anderson's voice - Faith/love/hope/encouragement This song is so intriguing. It reminds me of Changes, in the skillful interplay of two voices conveying two different concepts in a single song. |

| Steven Page – There's a Melody II Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
The most amazing song about writer's block that I've ever heard (maybe the ONLY one?). The song itself mirrors the creative process in its buildup, from the first spark of inspiration to incarnation. Making something out of nothing. Alternatively, it brings to mind Whitman's "Song of Myself". |

| Paula Cole – Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
@[ProfessorKnowItAll:26003] Exactly. Thank you. Where is my John Wayne Where is my prairie song Where is my happy ending Where have all the cowboys gone I've figured it out, I think. The first two stanzas and rounds of the chorus are the courting phase - where she sees "him" as the cowboy and a possible life together as "the goal" - the adventure to be had (her "prairie song" and her traditional "happy ending"). Everything following that is a statement about domesticity. The years go by, and now the adventure of traditional marriage and kids has worn thin and she's wondering what happened to the "cowboy" she ran away with. She might even be commenting on the emasculating effect domesticity (I think you originally used that term) has on him.... wondering where his "shiny gun" went. So there is irony there, but not the same irony I had commented on in my original interpretation. |

I'm kind of stunned, really, at how good this song is. It's like he never went away, and that seems to be kind of a rare thing once an artist has put it away and then decides to bring it back out again. |

"Devil's Dog" really should have been the 13th song of Hombre Lobo. It would have balanced out the "shock and awe" side vs. the "aw, shucks" side of the album. |

Lol. Oh no. Not really. "I feel like I've been here before. YOu know what happens when God closes a door. You think mortality's hell. He's boarded up the windows as well..." This concept sounds familiar. Also digging the "forget you were once divine" line too. Steven's feeling a little salty again, it seems. The Beatles stuff is cute though. |

| "i agree. although aside from the fact that it is about brad delp and his "lonely soul" escaping his life through music does anybody have a clue who marianne is? its actually marianne from gilligans island believe it or not." Interestingly enough, this kind of plays into my own turn of the song (as a woman). Marianne symbolizing a wholesomeness and beauty that one loses through years and experience. Also losing the feeling of being closer to the Divine (Mary). I see my Marianne walking away - a girl I used to know.... :) | |

| Disturbed – The Sound of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel cover) Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
I'm coming to terms with this cover of the song. When I first heard it it made me unreasonably angry. I couldn't listen to it. It sounded ridiculously melodramatic in comparison to the original, whose power lay in its mild and understated format, rather than making the song a dirge. But, ya know, the desperate sound kinda goes along with the desperate times(?)..... Simon wrote a (possible) prophecy. This band seems to sing about the sealed deal. |

| Chris Cornell – Almost Forgot My Broken Heart Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Took me a moment to understand. This is the wrong song title (it's NEARLY Forgot My Broken Heart). Anyway. I believe that the theme here in the song is Eternal Recurrence, as best as I can understand the concept as I've read it. The idea of themes that play again and again throughout our lives. Not just behavioral, but in actual circumstance of environment. This seems (to me) to be a subject touched on by many artists. (Cindy Lauper - Time After Time?) The Seinfeld Snickers Bar episode (well, kind of the whole show, but this episode in particular) is an illustration of this concept, I think. When, without any seeming relationship to any other incident in the show, everyone begins eating their Snickers Bars with forks, something marveled at by the main characters. Something you can observe happening around you over and over again, each thing with no immediately apparent relationship to the other very similar occurrence. When it happens too often to just be called "coincidence", but you can't find a causal relationship, what do you call it? |

@[teaspill:8878] Thanks for this. I think this has become just about my favorite song on the album. Aside from the Osiris myth (to which I've already admitted my ignorance) I'm just knocked out by the way he expresses things so clearly. The fact that it so neatly ties into something more increases my admiration. |

|
"When you lose yourself You find a key to paradise" LOL. It's a song about "flow", isn't it? :) "In positive psychology, flow, also known as the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does. Named by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, the concept has been widely referenced across a variety of fields (and has an especially big recognition in Occupational Therapy), though has existed for thousands of years under other guises, notably in some Eastern religions. Achieving flow is often colloquially referred to as being in the zone..." |

I wake at the first cringe of morning And my heart's already sinned. How pure, how sweet the love beneath it, yeah You would pray for him." Cause God knows I fall in love just a little ol' little bit every day with someone new... Linking this undercover emotion to religion, again. His little daily fall to The Big One. THE FALL. He picks a new apple every day, whether or not he actually takes a bite. He's sinned in the strictest sense just by considering what's in his reach, rather than the one waiting for him at home... He pleas his case as that he sees beauty in every stranger. But is he seeing the beauty that's actually in them, or the beauty he (super)imposes on them? |

| Eric Church – Springsteen Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
@[sanfrandan:6289] I agree that the play on the name "Springsteen" is meant to evoke nostalgia for that specific new, fresh time in our lives, magically incarnated in the name of the actual man and his music. It really makes the song that much better. |

I was 17 when Born In The U.S.A. came out. Having no idea who Bruce Springsteen was (being particularly musically backward then), I remember commenting to my boyfriend of the time that I didn't understand why everyone was talking about the return of this guy like it was the Second Coming.... :) We spent the summer listening to him on the radio while repainting the boyfriend's '74 camaro. Candy Apple Red. So yeah, I get this song. Or rather, this song gets me. |
