This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you
Say you'll love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summer time
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe, no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you always, beside me
To hold me and to hide me
Then say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me each night, each morning
Say you love me
You know I do
Love me, that's all I ask of you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Love me, that's all I ask of you
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you
Say you'll love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summer time
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe, no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you always, beside me
To hold me and to hide me
Then say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me each night, each morning
Say you love me
You know I do
Love me, that's all I ask of you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Love me, that's all I ask of you

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
No Surprises

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
"top my head with talk of summertime " and in another song later in the musical but it says: "and summers fade"
significant!!! i think so
I abso loved this movie... and this song makes me cry :'(
It's an even better play! :)
Well um someone I know saw it on stage and said it's way better on the movie. It's hard to see what's going on on a stage. Plus, Gerard Butler is hott.
THIS song is soo pretty and sad
I love this song, it's so beautiful. Andrew Lloyd Webber is an awesome composer and thisis one of his best songs. Mmmm...Gerald Butler...:)-Hayley
there are a few errors here that ive noticed
top my head with talk of summertime say you’ll need in me your love and always
this should say:
turn my head with talk of summertime say you need me with you now and always
amazing song btw, both the play and movie
I love this song!
One of my favourite parts of the film!
I suppose it's pretty straight forawrd really.. very sweet :) how much do you want someone to sing Raoul's parts to you?! :P
I had someone sing it too me...It was a weird guy though... >.<
Hell yes! I don't know what I would do if that happened though! probably keel over in shock! I love it. Georgeous tune too!
The movie doesnt suck- i saw it live as well and have a friend who actually studies the work of Andrew Lloyd Webber and admits the movie was pretty close.
Anyway, I want this song played at my wedding. Its so beautiful.
And btw, its 'turn my head with talk of summertime', not 'top my head'. that makes no sense
