    -translation-

    cs-students.stanford.edu/~hyan/jpop/gekka.html

    Led by something, I walked into the middle of the forest Mysteriously I was drawn I reached a small old hut and was attracted to the pierrot lying down on the floor, covered with dust The puppet looked so sad, yet with a happy face he said "take me to the mansion" with tears I hugged him

    We climbed the stairs and came face to face with a glowing puppet of a young girl waiting for him

    because it's a beautiful night... because it's a sad night I will smile gently and watch over them because it's a lonely night... because it's the last night I will never leave the two from now on

    Moonlight projects the two dancing, the shapes reflected on the wall are in a manner before rebirth

    the two looking at each other murmur "it's the last night" They dance with burning emotion till the day breaks

    because it's a beautiful night... because it's a sad night I will watch over them without crying because it's a lonely night... because it's the last night I will watch over the two from now on

    because it's a beautiful night... because it's a beautiful night... because it's a sad night I will smile gently and watch over them because it's a lonely night... because it's the last night I will never leave the two from now on...

    I will never forget... I will never forget the two...

    I think this song has some beautiful imagery in it, the story of a lonely man reuniting two spirits who loved one another. I think the dolls are simply vehicles for the spirits of forbidden lovers. The narrator feels that by helping the two lovers, he has made up for the sadness and loneliness he feels in his own heart and that watching them dance together has brought him some joy even though he is sad (I will watch over them without crying.)

    This is one of my favorite MM songs of all time, I just love the way it sounds, and the story that the words make is just so wonderful. I love how MM allways seems to have a story to all their songs. ^_^

    My Interpretation

    Akumajou Dracula: Gekka No Yasoukyoku is the japanese name for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. They were probably overall inspired by composer Michiru Yamane who composed the soundtrack for the game in a stylish classical style. :)

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
