In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
As we wake up in your room
Your face is the first thing I see
The first time I've seen love
And the last I'll ever need
You remind her that your future
Will be nothing without her
Never lose her, I'm afraid
Better think of something good to say
But it's all been done more than once
I'll keep on trying
Oh god don't let me be the only one who says
No, at the top of our lungs there's no
No, such thing as too young
Second chances won't leave you alone
Then there's faith in love
She was always the one
I'll repeat it again, the one
No such thing as too young
Red lights flashing on the car we're kissing in
Call me crazy, I've always tried to remind her
That the future's just a few heartbeats away from disaster
I'm afraid that I've thrown it all away
No, at the top of our lungs, there's no
No such thing as too young
Second chances won't leave you alone
No at the top of our lungs, there's no
No such thing as too young
Second chances won't leave you alone
No, we'll repeat it again, there's no
No such thing as too young
Second chances won't leave you alone
'Cause there's faith in love
If you kiss me goodnight
I'll know everything' is alright
Second chances won't leave us alone
Won't leave us alone
'Cause there's faith in love
Your face is the first thing I see
The first time I've seen love
And the last I'll ever need
You remind her that your future
Will be nothing without her
Never lose her, I'm afraid
Better think of something good to say
But it's all been done more than once
I'll keep on trying
Oh god don't let me be the only one who says
No, at the top of our lungs there's no
No, such thing as too young
Second chances won't leave you alone
Then there's faith in love
She was always the one
I'll repeat it again, the one
No such thing as too young
Red lights flashing on the car we're kissing in
Call me crazy, I've always tried to remind her
That the future's just a few heartbeats away from disaster
I'm afraid that I've thrown it all away
No, at the top of our lungs, there's no
No such thing as too young
Second chances won't leave you alone
No at the top of our lungs, there's no
No such thing as too young
Second chances won't leave you alone
No, we'll repeat it again, there's no
No such thing as too young
Second chances won't leave you alone
'Cause there's faith in love
If you kiss me goodnight
I'll know everything' is alright
Second chances won't leave us alone
Won't leave us alone
'Cause there's faith in love

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[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."
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.
I can tell you exactly what this song is about because it was me who had it written for my wife. We got married when we were super young, and marriage is hard enough but add on being a 20yr old kids and you really have the odds stacked against you...we had our problems like everyone does but it was getting to a point where i was starting to loose hope that we would make it. So i went to my best Friend Jaime Preciado who i grew up with and was the best man at my wedding and asked him if he would help me write and record a song that i would sing on and give it to her as a Valentines day gift. i had a bunch of ideas for lyrics and he siggested that he would ask Vic to sing on it as his vocal talents far exceed mine. So they took the lyric ideas i gave them and ran with it.
The song is about having a 1st love and always trying so hard to make it work but because you are young and dumb you screwing up but trying so hard to make it work even if you dont know whats going to happen but as long as you love someone you always have a chance and this was the same with us...we broke up 2 or 3 times before getting engaged and when we did get engaged we caught grief for days, "your too young" blah blah blah but this was our "2nd chance" We knew we had "faith in our love" so we didnt care. "red lights flash in a car we're kissing in" comes from a night when were about 19 just hanging out in her car making out and got busted by the cops because we were not allowed to be there. good times.We had so many things stacked against us that i always felt our whole relationship was hanging on by a thread. When we got married my mom toasted at the reception, "just make sure you always kiss eachother good night and everything will be ok" and that stuck with me to this day. Never go to bed bitter or angry.
The song randomly came up on my ipod so i decided to look up what people thought of it and here i am. So thats the story of how this song came to be.
@bdraheim thank you for sharing! That's a great story and it's great to know the original intention of the song!
