    -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.)

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.

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."

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
