A-Ha – The Sun Always Shines on TV Lyrics 18 years ago
Awesome song, and I think comment#1 nailed the meaning of the lyrics: the contrast between gray, inner real-life confusion and bright TV happy endings.

A-Ha – The Blue Sky Lyrics 18 years ago
It is a great song. It's interesting that not all people pick up the "desperation" in the tune. To me, that is very evident.


The meaning of the lyrics is quite literal: he is sad/desperate over a girl who left him.

What's not evident is that the "Blue Sky" is the name of a coffee shop. Knowing this, "the lady at my table" or "dying to be different in the coffee shop", or "the faces that surrond me" make a lot more sense.

Also, the coffee shop must be somewhere in North America (anyone want to guess where?), since he mentions that "she" may laugh at his accent :)

Peter Gabriel – I Grieve Lyrics 19 years ago
loss... is good in small doses.

this song plays in my mind when I let someone go, even if just out the door from a visit, and I don't know if I'll ever see them again.

the song reminds me that nothing is forever in life. one day we'll all have to leave what we love... one thing, one person at a time.

Cyndi Lauper – All Through The Night Lyrics 19 years ago
All about starting anew. Nice and hopeful. Fun to listen to when you're just starting to fall in love. The running keyboard loop in the background is very 80ish, it's a big part of what makes this song beautiful.

Cyndi Lauper – Time After Time Lyrics 19 years ago
It's all about the rhythm. hear it from the beginning, the clicks on the snare rim, and the muted guitar that goes the whole time in the background.

When I first heard this song, I didn't understand English, and still it caught my feelings immediately.
When I learned what the title meant, it just seemed so appropriate - the beat is shaking your emotions... time after time.

The feeling of loss permeates the whole tune and is also all over the lyrics. That is what this song is about, distance from someone who is dear to you.
