One time I tried to sing
About spring and a storm
But you know
How it goes
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah
Blah
All along
Won't you please
Stop complaining
I'm playing a song
But all the rain comes down the same
Falling to from where it came
On the ground then and back around up into the sky
I wish you could have heard the music
When the clouds growled overhead
I finally felt enthusiastic
I finally felt alive
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah
Blah
So you said
Would it please
You to listen
To thunder instead
Man the rain came down that day
And it drained by soul away
And I wondered why I even bothered to try
Mr. Moon
Yeah?
Tell us about the sky
The sky is deep and dark and eternally high
Many people think that's where you go when you die
Do you?
Well I think you return to obscure
Or wherever you were
Before you were
But I won't let you lose yourself in the rain
We have so much left to sing
There's a storm for every spring
All you see and you and me
Became from a star
You're a Star
Yes you are
(silent explosive and silent explosive and...)
Create until nothing is left to create and
The universe bursts with an overworked sigh then
Pretend to pretend to re-crown the creation and
Sing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry and then
Over and over and over again and then
Over and over and
Never again
About spring and a storm
But you know
How it goes
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah
Blah
All along
Won't you please
Stop complaining
I'm playing a song
But all the rain comes down the same
Falling to from where it came
On the ground then and back around up into the sky
I wish you could have heard the music
When the clouds growled overhead
I finally felt enthusiastic
I finally felt alive
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah
Blah
So you said
Would it please
You to listen
To thunder instead
Man the rain came down that day
And it drained by soul away
And I wondered why I even bothered to try
Mr. Moon
Yeah?
Tell us about the sky
The sky is deep and dark and eternally high
Many people think that's where you go when you die
Do you?
Well I think you return to obscure
Or wherever you were
Before you were
But I won't let you lose yourself in the rain
We have so much left to sing
There's a storm for every spring
All you see and you and me
Became from a star
You're a Star
Yes you are
(silent explosive and silent explosive and...)
Create until nothing is left to create and
The universe bursts with an overworked sigh then
Pretend to pretend to re-crown the creation and
Sing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry and then
Over and over and over again and then
Over and over and
Never again

I think this is about life, and the sort of sweet existential outlook on it. It basically says, our life is going to have a lot of bad scary things (storm) but a lot of beautiful things as well (the spring). I feel like the first while people are trying to dismiss this sort of outlook, and he tries to get them to stop complaining by making them realize that if we don't need both we can't have only one.
All you see and you and me Became from a star
This actually means how we are all made out of the same energy as stars. Niel Degrasse Tyson put it best, "The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.”
It's sort of a sweetness in this song that says you don't need religion to feel connected (I have no idea about Tally Hall's religious orientation, I personally am athiest). This trace backs to the line about the sky, 'many people think thats where we go when we die' 'i think we go to obscure or wherever we were before we were'.
This song is about the fact that the world can be harsh but it can be beautiful as well, and what makes this song wonderful is Tally Hall is saying, "Look what I'm doing! I'm writing this wonderful, childish song, I'm so happy despite it all!"
At least that's what I think.
Sure, smile, cause it's ALL you're EVER have. What wonderful choices you've made. Maybe we should all choose to settle, too.
