Take It Easy (Love Nothing)

take off, surfpico. Of course the old stuff is as great. Everything has been great, since the likes of "puddle stomper" to the newer stuff. Maybe you could not read so much into posts, eh?

This song is unbelievable, the way it just progresses from innocence to undoing. I love it. "Now I do as I please. I lie through my teeth. Someone might get hurt but it won't be me" She'll probably feel cheap, but I'll just feel free and a little bit empty"

Wow

i think this song is about two good friends who do stuff because theyve always had feelings for each other, but it doesnt work out and turns into a one-time thing.

"first with your hands, then with your mouth. downpours of sweat, damp cotton clouds. i was a fool, you were my friend. we made it happen "

theyre doing stuff, and things are really intense, theyre questioning whats going on but enjoying it anyway

"you took off your clothes, left on the light. you stood there so brave, you use to be shy. each feature improved, each movement refined. and eyes like a show room. "

its just describing how hes looking at her in a completely different light and everything is so different so quickly

"now they're spreding out the blankets on the beach. that weather man's a liar, he said it'd be raining. but it's clear and blue as far as i can see. "

everyone told them that they would never work out together, but so far everything seems to be going okay to him

"left by the lamp, right next to the bed. on a cartoon cat pad, she scrached with a pen. "everything as its always been, this never happened, don't take it too bad, it's nothing you did. just once something dies, you can't make it live. you're a beautiful boy, you're a sweet little kid. but i am a women". "

she explains to him why they cant be together, and the reason might not make too much sense, but it just doesnt work. there are outside reasons why it cant work.

"so i layed back down, wrapped my self up in the sheet. and i must have looked like a ghost, because something fightened me. and since then i've been so good at vanishing."

hes sort of embarrased because he thought the feelings he was having at the beginning were mutual, and what she said to him took him off guard. he tried to hide from everything.

"now i do as i please, and i lie through my teeth. someone might get hurt, but it wont be me. she'll probably feel cheap, but i'll just feel free, and a little bit empty."

hes trying to convince himself that everything is okay .. and shes the one who will be hurt by all of this.

"no, it isn't so hard, to get close to me. there will be no arguements, we'll always agree. and i'll try and be kind, when i ask you to leave. we'll both take it easy."

reconsidering and saying that if she was with him, things would be great.

"if you stay to long, inside my memory. i will trap you in a song tied to a melody. and i'll keep you there so you can't bother me."

explaining how this song has a girl "trapped" so she doesnt haunt him anymore

...i dont know if i just pulled this out of nowhere, but when i heard this song i was reminded of something that happened to me, or was happening to me at the time, but it probably makes no sense to anyone else.

When it switches emotions,("Now I do as I please,...."), you can hear it in the music. That's what I'm talking about!

it's "downpours of sweat, damp cotton clouds" and "WE made it happen" and "now they're spreading blankets on the beach, THAT weatherman's a liar" and " I should probably feel cheap but I just feel free and a little bit empty." and "I'll try to be kind WHEN i ask you to leave" and "I'll keep you there so you can't bother me." GREAT song.. as is all the new stuff

And the old stuff? Isn't that just as great?

this song is so amazing, its my favorite song from the two new Lps...o gosh

"first with your hands, then with your mouth. downpours of sweat, damp cotton clouds. i was a fool, you were my friend. we made it happen "

Such a great song! Everything this man does is golden, and this is no exception. The lyrics are up to his high level, and the music is a little different than his old stuff but INCREDIBLE. He's #'s 1 and 2 on the Billboard singles right now. And he actually deserves it!

i love this song.

i wonder how he feels about being all over the billboard charts.. i mean,weird. he beat all the teeny poppers,is he going to become the 'new thing' now? im not going to be all "blah blah he's on tv now so im going to whine about how unjust it is that hes been around forever and NOW hes famous" i'm just saying..its crazy.fucking crazy.

I need to hear this song.
