its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I've been sizin' you up and stuff
Watchin you live life large
Enough for the both of us
To big up the love
Got the measure of the man in you
It's more than the sum of the parts
It's true what they say
You gotta big up the love
I've been checkin' nice things you do
Standing in the Starbucks queue
You buy coffee for a stranger
Who's down on their luck
Random acts of kindness flow,
Compassion from a hand I'd like to hold
It does it for me and I can't get enough
Oh, don't confuse me when I say
Oh, please don't take this the wrong way
You can lead a heart to love
But you can make it fall
I'm tired of loving small 'cause
Size matters and not how you think
I'm talking bout your heart
And what you do with it
The more seeds you plant
The more flowers will grow
So big up the love 'till it overflows
Most blokes to shallow to swim in
Only interested in one thing
It's all so meaningless
'cause puddles dry up
With a view of the world so small
It limits the size of the dream
And you achieving it
A new panorama
With your arms around me,
I see my life how it should be
You can lead a heart to love
But you can make it fall
I'm tired of loving small 'cause
Size matters and not how you think
I'm talkin bout your heart
And what you do with it
The more seeds you plant
The more flowers will grow
So big up the love 'till it overflows
Big it up [Repeat: x2]
Watchin you live life large
Enough for the both of us
To big up the love
Got the measure of the man in you
It's more than the sum of the parts
It's true what they say
You gotta big up the love
I've been checkin' nice things you do
Standing in the Starbucks queue
You buy coffee for a stranger
Who's down on their luck
Random acts of kindness flow,
Compassion from a hand I'd like to hold
It does it for me and I can't get enough
Oh, don't confuse me when I say
Oh, please don't take this the wrong way
You can lead a heart to love
But you can make it fall
I'm tired of loving small 'cause
Size matters and not how you think
I'm talking bout your heart
And what you do with it
The more seeds you plant
The more flowers will grow
So big up the love 'till it overflows
Most blokes to shallow to swim in
Only interested in one thing
It's all so meaningless
'cause puddles dry up
With a view of the world so small
It limits the size of the dream
And you achieving it
A new panorama
With your arms around me,
I see my life how it should be
You can lead a heart to love
But you can make it fall
I'm tired of loving small 'cause
Size matters and not how you think
I'm talkin bout your heart
And what you do with it
The more seeds you plant
The more flowers will grow
So big up the love 'till it overflows
Big it up [Repeat: x2]

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
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.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.
