Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
There's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time
What's her name?
I can't tell you
Ahh
I can't reveal her name until she's mine
What's her name?
I can't tell you
Ahh
I've tried to make her time and time again
Still we're introduced as nothing but friends
There's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time
What's her name?
I can't tell you
Ahh
There's a certain chick I've been sweet on since I met her

I can't tell you
Ahh
I can't reveal her name until I get her
What's her name?
I can't tell you
Ahh
Someday I'm going to wake up and say
I'll do anything just to be your slave
There's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time
What's her name?

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
The Yardbirds were the birth of metal and this has 3 songs and 0 posts
In all honesty they were.
they were the birth of led zeppelin via starting jimmy page's career, and led zeppelin was arguably metal. sensible enough.
It's Hard Rock. And Jimi Hendrix started that.
There is a difference.
Hard Rock > Heavy Metal
led zeppelin and black sabbath both created metal, although black sabbath were the first metal band.
jimi hendrix did not start hard rock!!!!!
In fact it is arguably true to state that The Kinks created the first heavy song with "You Really Got Me" (1964). The Yardbirds were the band that led to the development of a number of great guitarists that went on to develop hard rock/heavy metal music - Eric Clapton (Cream) - who in my view were the first hard rock band (in paralle to Hendrix); Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin which was the next generation of The Yardbirds and first true Heavy Metal Band (in parallel to Deep Purple) and Jeff Beck (Rod Steward / Faces, Jeff Beck Band, etc).
This song needs the correct lyrics listed as sung by Keith Relf:
There's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) I can't reveal her name until I've got her (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) Well, I've tried, oh yeh, time and time again We just are enemies - nothing but friends And there's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!)
Well, there's a certain chick I've been sweet on since I met her (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) I can't repeat her name until I get her (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) Well one day, I'm going to wake up and say "I'll do anything just to be your slave" And there's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!)
(awesome Eric Clapton solo)
Well, I've tried, yeh, time and time again We just are enemies - nothing but friends And there's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!)
There's a certain chick I've been sweet on since I found her (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) I can't reveal her name until I get her (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) Well someday, yeh, time and time again We are just enemies and nothing but friends And there's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!)
I can't tell you (No!) I can't tell you (No!) I can't tell you
A great early British R'n'B song..
If you really liked Led Zeppelin you'd know they didn't like the term heavy metal
fuck you metal fags, the yardbirds were one of the bands that, all the 60's garage punk bands came from, so shut up..
Great song, who knows where the "birth" truly is, Link Raye has produced some incredibly heavy blues based songs, listen to the lost album "They're outta here says archie" I believe its older than kinks etc, the album was banned. The "metal" mentality to my knowledge is Black Sabbath, but you could argue convincingly that they were just another great rock and roll band of the time like Zep and that they turned into a metal band later. To me metal is Motorhead and Metallica and stuff like that, It is easily distinguished as what it is. Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Kinks, early Black Sabbath etc are not metal, these are all ROCK AND ROLL/BLUES based bands.
The Yardbirds are just way to bluesy to be considred metal at all. Maybe "Stroll On" is the closest thing you will get to metal from them, Heavy Rave Up Blues. Awesomeness.
