This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's been a long night
Waiting to sleep the day away
And it's been a long time
Coming along with me every step of the way
Oh, confinement binds you
And nothing scares me, nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
That nothing ails me, nothing kills me
Oh, confinement binds you
And nothing scares me, nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
That nothing ails me, nothing can kill me
And stagnant time is a breeding ground
For regrets and wrong doings
And resolutions take their time
That's if they even come at all
Always, seeking redemption
Through the echoes I've listened
And still came up missing
Always, seeking redemption
Through the echoes I've listened
And slipped through the cracks
And stagnant time is a breeding ground
For regrets and wrong doings
And resolutions take their time
That's if they even come at all
Oh, confinement binds you
And nothing scares me, nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
That nothing ails me, nothing kills me
Oh, confinement binds you
And nothing scares me, nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
That nothing ails me, nothing can kill me
These wounds will heal
And nothing can stop me now
These wounds will heal
And nothing can stop me now
Waiting to sleep the day away
And it's been a long time
Coming along with me every step of the way
Oh, confinement binds you
And nothing scares me, nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
That nothing ails me, nothing kills me
Oh, confinement binds you
And nothing scares me, nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
That nothing ails me, nothing can kill me
And stagnant time is a breeding ground
For regrets and wrong doings
And resolutions take their time
That's if they even come at all
Always, seeking redemption
Through the echoes I've listened
And still came up missing
Always, seeking redemption
Through the echoes I've listened
And slipped through the cracks
And stagnant time is a breeding ground
For regrets and wrong doings
And resolutions take their time
That's if they even come at all
Oh, confinement binds you
And nothing scares me, nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
That nothing ails me, nothing kills me
Oh, confinement binds you
And nothing scares me, nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
That nothing ails me, nothing can kill me
These wounds will heal
And nothing can stop me now
These wounds will heal
And nothing can stop me now

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
to me this song is about about being numb to the world and then getting over the fact that life sucks and now "he" is trying to move on from the past or whatever has hurt him (probably a relationship) and become a better stronger person...
Awesome song.
new metal with a classic tinge, finally
is it just me, or does darkest hour FUCKING ROCK?....great band
Yay!
this song is pure metal... it's almost unholy. Did anyone else catch the very pure and distinct Swedish metal aspect to the song? Ie: the harmonics the kind of accent the lingering vocal melody to the chorus adding an intimate and softer yet darker flare to the song as a whole? I think it was that couple with the purely RIGHTEOUS tune to the chorus "confinement binds you... but nothing scares me, nothing thrills me... I've fooled myself into believing... that nothing ails me, nothing kills me..."
^ that right there makes me feel divine... it's so powerful... and the delivery is simply stupendous. It's almost vampirical in nature really... Nothing scares me for I am the immortal... Nothing thrills me (brought on by the vampirical curse... no pleasure is satisfying... nothing mundane is really pleasureable.) I've fooled myself into believing that nothing ails me.... this is an interesting line... for it reveals the other side and the more ironic spin on the note of the vampire reference. vampires are ultimately ONLY ailed by their own immortality. they are plagued with the curse of living for eternity and never being at piece. Nothing kills me... of course still stands.
Basically the lyrics complement righteous chord progressions and near technical perfection in this song quite nicely... there is a classic element as well as a newer, double bass-y flashier driving element as well as a hint of swedish THOR thrashing righteousness that make this song well balanced and meaningful. Ilove you Darkest Hour.
the swedish metal aspect of DH is what attracted me to them in the first place. Theres just something about those swedes
In my opinion nobody should be judged cause of his interpretation of the song, it´s up to you what you think about it and what you see in the lyrics. I
Nontheless I consider the meaning of these lyrics is something deeper than vampire or fantasy stuff. It could be about regret of somebody who went too far and now realizes that he has done something wrong.
Oh and by the way sry if I made some grammar or voc mistakes, it´s my first comment and my english´s not the best ;P.
I think this song is about regrets. Seems to me the narrator done something wrong but didn't think of the consenquences. Now he regrets it & decides time will heal the wounds. Well that's how I interpret this song. Great album & great music. (No time to grammar check)
i think this is about a person who is having delusions of grandeur which is clouding his judgement
"I’ve fooled myself into believing that nothing ails me nothing kills me"
It could also have something to do with brainwashing
why is this band so unknown??!! it's ridiculous-they are just excellent and deserve way more recognition than they get. i just don't understand!!! this song is just superb and it's only got a few comments.... ????
