Some might say that sunshine follows thunder
Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine
Some might say that we should never ponder
On our thoughts today 'cause they hold sway over time

Some might say
We will find a brighter day
Some might say
We will find a brighter day
(Yeah)

'Cause I've been standin' at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation
For my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain
It was overflowin' gently
But it's all elementary my friend

Some might say they don't believe in heaven
Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell
Some might say you get what you've been given
If you don't get yours I won't get mine as well

'Cause some might say
We will find a brighter day
Some might say
We will find a brighter day
(Yeah)

'Cause I've been standin' at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation
For my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
'Cause she's got dirty dishes on the brain
And my dog's been itchin'
Itchin' in the kitchen once again

Some might say (some might say)
Some might say (some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
You know what some might say (you know what some might say)
(Woo)

    Noel&Liam say...Some Might Say- "It was the first song I ever wrote when I moved to London and it was inspired by listening to The Faces. Alan McGee wanted the A-side to be Acquiesce because he didn´t think Some Might Say sounded like a number one. He´s a great man but his one fault is that he has absolutely no idea how to pick singles. As soon as I´d written Some Might Say I was absolutely certain it would be a number one and I was right. I never had even the slightest doubt. That was the gin n´ tonic getting the better of me. I met a guy in Swiss Cottage who came up to me when the single was Number One. He said,That song really meant a lot to me.´, because he´s a Christian. And I asked if he´d heard the group at all and he hadn´t. So I told him we had this song called Cigarettes and Alcohol and being a Christian he wouldn´t really dig that. He seemed like a really down-to-earth bloke. And he´s telling me a song means a lot to him as a Christian and I´m having a conversation with him when I´m drugged up to the eyeballs. It´s a laugh, man."

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
