(Hold me, 'till the end)

Voiceless whispers, running through my head
Haunting Vespers, press from the dead

There are lights on the path is clear ahead
I was certain you'd be there 'till the end

Oh, oh, hold me 'till the end, oh, oh

Shine a light on, show the lighted path
Feel them rising, reaching from the path

Stars cascading, light beyond the clouds
Empty rivers, flowing empty now

Oh, oh, hold me 'till the end
Oh, oh, I'll take you to the end

Oh, oh, hold me 'till the end
Oh, oh, I'll take you to the end

Hold me 'till the end
Hold me 'till the end
I'll take you to the end

Oh, oh, hold me 'till the end

    Cracking tune, I never tire of it.

    It seems to have a dark theme to it, though. Seems to be about them dying or more likely the other person dying... how they want them to be there to hold them 'til death. That's what it is to me, anything.

    "Haunting Vespers Press from the dead"

    A vesper is a song/prayer celebrated in early evening at church when the daylight ends. There is a theme of light in this song .. probably related, I don't know.

    My Uncle is a good friend with Darren I got this song before it was released. I love it... I'm listening to it right now. One of the best sounding songs IMO.

    My Interpretation

    I think it's someone who is about to die and is contemplating "the path" ahead of them so to speak.

    Their lover has died before them and they are following with yearning. They do not appear to be afraid of death in the least, but regard in it a very mystical quality, which they describe. Or perhaps they are experiencing a genuine NDE. So the imagery is how their see death in their mind, or perhaps even with their own eyes.

    The "press from the dead" line gets me too. Are we sure those lyrics are official? I always thought it was "prayers from the dead".

Mountain Song
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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
