In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Time may take us apart, but I will still love you, I promise
Oh
Oh yeah
And when the stars, stars are falling
I'll keep calling
I promise that you'll be my one, my only everything
I'll never be untrue
And I promise that for all your love I will do anything
I will give you the stars, I will buy you the moon
Even through the longest of our nights
And even through the darkest days
Our love will find a way
And when the stars are falling
I'll keep calling
I will still love you
And when your dreams are fading
I'll be waiting
I will still love you
You were my summer breeze, my winter sun, my
Springtime soul (springtime soul), my autumn touch of gold, yeah
And you were my sky, my rain, the earth in which my love goes strong
The smile of my heart and the breath of my soul
Even if we find ourselves apart
We will hold our hopes and dreams
Forever in our hearts
And when the stars are falling (stars are falling)
I'll keep calling (I'll keep calling)
I will still love you (I will still love you)
And when your dreams are fading (dreams are fading)
I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
I will still love you
Tell me how you feel
I finally know how love feels
Tell me if it's real
And my heart tells me it's real
So real, so real
And when the stars are falling (stars are falling)
I'll keep calling (I'll keep calling)
I will still, I will still love you (I will still love you)
And when your dreams are fading
I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
I will still love you (I will still love you baby)
Time may take us apart, that's true
But I will always be there for you
You're in my heart, you'll be in my dreams
No matter how many miles we've seen
I promise you that I won't forget
The day we kissed or the day we met
The sky may fall and the stars may tilt
But I will still, I will still love you
And when the stars are falling
I'll keep calling
I will still love you (I will still love you)
And when your dreams are fading
I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
I will still love you
Oh
Oh yeah
And when the stars, stars are falling
I'll keep calling
I promise that you'll be my one, my only everything
I'll never be untrue
And I promise that for all your love I will do anything
I will give you the stars, I will buy you the moon
Even through the longest of our nights
And even through the darkest days
Our love will find a way
And when the stars are falling
I'll keep calling
I will still love you
And when your dreams are fading
I'll be waiting
I will still love you
You were my summer breeze, my winter sun, my
Springtime soul (springtime soul), my autumn touch of gold, yeah
And you were my sky, my rain, the earth in which my love goes strong
The smile of my heart and the breath of my soul
Even if we find ourselves apart
We will hold our hopes and dreams
Forever in our hearts
And when the stars are falling (stars are falling)
I'll keep calling (I'll keep calling)
I will still love you (I will still love you)
And when your dreams are fading (dreams are fading)
I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
I will still love you
Tell me how you feel
I finally know how love feels
Tell me if it's real
And my heart tells me it's real
So real, so real
And when the stars are falling (stars are falling)
I'll keep calling (I'll keep calling)
I will still, I will still love you (I will still love you)
And when your dreams are fading
I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
I will still love you (I will still love you baby)
Time may take us apart, that's true
But I will always be there for you
You're in my heart, you'll be in my dreams
No matter how many miles we've seen
I promise you that I won't forget
The day we kissed or the day we met
The sky may fall and the stars may tilt
But I will still, I will still love you
And when the stars are falling
I'll keep calling
I will still love you (I will still love you)
And when your dreams are fading
I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
I will still love you

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
well,friscles comment there was a bit idiotic,since im pretty sure they have no idea who britney really is.To say something like that is ill informed,naive,pointless and idiotic.yeah,im a britney fan,but im not gonna point-blank praise her,just like i dont think others should point-blank insult everything about her.none of us know her so arent really fit to comment on her personality,or feelings. this song,definately beautiful.Has that innocent,young love vibe to it,i think..know that relationship you have in your mid-late teens,where you reach say..a year/two year anniversary and just feel like you cant live without the person?where you feel in love,and committed..and..everything in this song
