The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
I carry a madness
Everywhere I go
Over the border
And back to the snow
So if you see me
And I look right through
You shouldn't take it
As a reflection on you
Come on, turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone
Love one another
Love one another
The boys in the bubble
Want to be free
They got so blind
That they cannot see
Well I'm not your keeper
I don't have your key
I got a piano
I can't find the sea
Come on, turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone
Love one another
Love one another
Come on, turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone, yeah
Love one another
Love one another
Everywhere I go
Over the border
And back to the snow
So if you see me
And I look right through
You shouldn't take it
As a reflection on you
Come on, turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone
Love one another
Love one another
The boys in the bubble
Want to be free
They got so blind
That they cannot see
Well I'm not your keeper
I don't have your key
I got a piano
I can't find the sea
Come on, turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone
Love one another
Love one another
Come on, turn up the sun
Turn it up for everyone, yeah
Love one another
Love one another

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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
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."
Stomping Andy bell song. First 2 verses seem to be explaining himself to the band and how he is who he is. From then on in he's directly speaking about (and to) the two Gallagher's (boys in the bubble, they got so blind they can't see etc) then is telling them to turn up the sun and just love one another (for everyone to enjoy). He then suggests that he shouldn't need to babysit them when they argue/fall out (I'm not your keeper) and that only those two can sort out their (famous) problems (I don't have the key). Further reasons I feel this about the song, is the clever way bell has both brothers singing every single word together after the opening verses as if he is almost trying to force them to love one another like some weird musical therapist, as if some sort of mantra for them both will solve the problems. Genius if so. Great great tune always takes me back to summer 2005.
Glad ive got the honour of sticking the first comment on for this song (unless some bellend is writing a comment right now..) Anyway, what a brilliant fucking song. First verse doesnt look that good on paper but when you hear the opening line you just know you got a great song.
Was a bit scared this album would be shite, but this song has the same effect Rock n Roll star has on DM, just a brilliant first song for an album, gets you right up for it.
Meaning? a bit different, seems like Liam is a moody fecker but is telling sdome bright spark to lighten up, not to take what he does as offensive and just keep smiling, light up everyone elses life because he cant do it himself.
Ah fuck it I dunno the meaning, someone else can post that, this is just a brilliant sonmg. end of. (shame mucky fingers follows it...)
A beginning of summer song, expressions of relief and welcoming? Great song, great album.
i love this bloody band. i'm sad for the old lineup though. can't they all just get along?
@ijohnnyz I'm fairly new to Oasis (too late!) but I heard the original members all asked to quit because couldn't deal with extensive touring. The only one I feel sorry for is the drummer (the one who is in Familiar to Millions DVD), because he asked to quit due to the growing use of drum loops live, and as a drummer we can imagine it sucks major ass to play drums along a fucking prerecorded track when you are member of an allegedly "rock band".
Nice song im really suprised at how good the new oasis album sounds and im goin to the concert in july
I'm glad you all like the song. Before Oasis, there was a band called Ride. Andy Bell was the principal songwriter in that band. Andy Bell wrote this song "turn up the sun." Enough said. He is a great man.
great track on a very good album.. 9/10
yeh i agree wif dave 1987 its a brilliant song opener for the album.. jus luv it :D their new album is great n i was worried at first cos i didnt think lyla was that gr8 but im a happy gal :D
Come on turn up the sun.... going to conert Thursday 1st December Festival Hall!
This song is great, so catchy!
Love one another!
