This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The future is clear
Let's get into gear
I'm willing to ask
Do you wanna go my way?
You're out on your own
You're never alone
There's people around
But do you wanna go my way?
They threw me out of town, said I'm a hooligan
They never want to see my ugly face again
I'm looking for a ride, I need to get someplace
I'm feeling disillusioned with the human race
Heat on the skyline, have you got the time?
I'll sit here by the road for yet another day
But whatever road you're taking, I will go that way
there's trouble in town
They wanna see you go down
Let's make our escape
Do you wanna go my way?
I'll give you what's mine
I'll throw you a line
Just make up your mind
Do you wanna go my way?
What do you want me to say?
Just give me a little trust
And answer me
Do you wanna go my way?
I don't know where I am but it's a long way from home
I haven't got a penny for the telephone
I don't know who my friend are, who my friends will be
But I'm feeling like it's happening for you and me
You're my driver, I'm your passenger
The night is looking friendlier than any day
We're racing into it and I will go that way
The future is bright
We'll drive by night
If anyone asks
We're busy making our own way
We'll sleep in the shade
And watch what we've made
They'll never catch on
So do you wanna go my way?
What do you want me to say?
Just give me a little trust
Let's get into gear
I'm willing to ask
Do you wanna go my way?
You're out on your own
You're never alone
There's people around
But do you wanna go my way?
They threw me out of town, said I'm a hooligan
They never want to see my ugly face again
I'm looking for a ride, I need to get someplace
I'm feeling disillusioned with the human race
Heat on the skyline, have you got the time?
I'll sit here by the road for yet another day
But whatever road you're taking, I will go that way
there's trouble in town
They wanna see you go down
Let's make our escape
Do you wanna go my way?
I'll give you what's mine
I'll throw you a line
Just make up your mind
Do you wanna go my way?
What do you want me to say?
Just give me a little trust
And answer me
Do you wanna go my way?
I don't know where I am but it's a long way from home
I haven't got a penny for the telephone
I don't know who my friend are, who my friends will be
But I'm feeling like it's happening for you and me
You're my driver, I'm your passenger
The night is looking friendlier than any day
We're racing into it and I will go that way
The future is bright
We'll drive by night
If anyone asks
We're busy making our own way
We'll sleep in the shade
And watch what we've made
They'll never catch on
So do you wanna go my way?
What do you want me to say?
Just give me a little trust

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
i heard this song on bring it on and i fell in love with it.
what the hell, this was on the soundtrack to Bring It On?! I saw that in the theater and I don't even remember that! haha...maybe I blocked it out of my mind...heh.
anyway, i love this song...brings back memories of going out to the factory outlets near where i lived at the time and running into an ex boyfriend who worked that. also always reminds me of rainy days... don't know why.
basically about a person feeling lost and considering taking the hand someone is offering them, and taking the new road wherever it leads, good or bad, because his current life has gone to hell.
i love how it's got that whole spy theme song vibe throughout also, gives it an air of mystery.
this song was in "bring it on?!" what the fuck!?
ha the spirit stick scene! love this song. i still don't really get it. i just love the line do you wanna go my way.
Yes, the spirit stick scene on Bring it on is where I found this song <3 To me this song could have a couple of meanings when I first heard it, it really reminded me of being younger and not really knowing where my place was/ putting too much into other people and letting them lead your journey. Although to me on another listen it seems more like a love song with kind of a sultry vibe to it ( a lust song perhaps? lol) Then there the obvious one when I think about it again it is a hitchhiker getting out of town. Either way you see it I really do enjoy this tune.
