4 long years ago
Searching for the snow
We found the Tahoe Lakes
Just about the perfect place
50 runs at "Heavenly"
And the nights at "Squaw Valley"
Yeah, the trees are pretty white
"That´s were Sonny Bono died"
All is quiet on New Years Day
Think I´ll try impress my mates
So I jump into the lake
I won´t do that again

Here we go again...

The South shore has the lot
And last month Dave Lee Roth
Did a solo spot
And some German bloke got shot
Every year we say the same
"Try somewhere different for a change"
But we jump on to the plane

Yeah, here we go again...

    Skateboard Worldchampionships 2000 in Dortmund / Germany.. and A was playing "I love lake tahoe".. I will never forget that very special moment in the pit. I've nearly never had such a good time :)

    Well it obviously about the band liking Lake Tahoe and going there every year.. Can i just say "woe-one" i couldnt give a shit how great seeing them in Germany was.. because 1) ppl only go to germany to get laid and 2) i've seen them 5 times and that makes me a better fan than anyone... yes i am the no 1 FAN!! (joke)

    It's not a bad song, but I don't think this is A's best song, far from it, it's above average and best heard live. It's about their fabourite holiday resort, the Tahoe Lakes. :crazy:

    I've never heard the actual song, but you know what, I have to chime in on what it's meaning is.

    It's about Lake Tahoe. If you've ever been to Lake Tahoe, you understand that it is a REALLY beautiful place and it just has a lot of natural allure and a very laid-back atmosphere. I would live there if I could; it's just that good.

    Heavenly is the main ski resort up there (also known as the place Sonny Bono died). Squaw Valley is also there (actually it's on the opposite side of the lake from Heavenly). I definitely know that I can honestly agree with A on this... Tahoe is an awesome place.

    My main beef is that the structure of the lyrics seems more than a little contrived and that it just all seems too black and white for my tastes.

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.
