How lucky we are

Meiko

One day we'll get out of this shitty apartment
One day is all it takes for things to turn around
Now all I know is I got you and you got me, babe

And when that morning comes, I'll make coffee and you'll read the paper
We'll talk about our plans, and I'll keep saying how lucky we are

One day we'll get in the car and drive anywhere we wanna go
And then we'll stay in a five-star, mini bar luxury hotel room
Cause all I know is I got you and you got me, babe

And when that morning comes, I'll make coffee and you'll read the paper
We'll talk about our plans, and I'll keep saying how lucky we are

How lucky we are, oh o o oh
How lucky we are, oh o o ohh
How lucky we are, oh a oh
How lucky we are are are

One day we'll turn on the tv and we won't see nothin' 'bout war

And when that morning comes, I'll make coffee and you'll read the paper
We'll talk about our plans, and I'll keep saying how lucky we are

How lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are, oh
How lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are, oh
How lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are, oh
How lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are

    One day we'll turn on the tv and we won't see nothin' 'bout war Gosh, that line is amazing. I heard her play live and when Meiko sang that line my friend and I both turned to each other and before we even said anything we silently decided we love this song. We take the basics for granted. Meiko is da bomb.

    i love that line as well. even though her words sound a bit facetious, it's still a lovely song and her voice is refreshing.

    Since anyone has yet to analyze these lyrics, I'll be the first. Pretty self-explainatory, I suppose. It's about a woman whose optimistic about the future. What I really love about this song is that's its very simple. Its extremely human. Everyone dreams of moving into a new, nice place, spending a weekend at a swanky hotel, but then it goes deeper with a somewhat suble plea for peace. I think it might not fit too well in the song, but that was exactly the intent. Maybe that lifes not all about fanciness, but there are bigger problems to deal with.

    i agree with lexie about the optimistic thing. but, it's also her optimism of building a whole new life with the one she loves. "Now all I know is I got you and you got me" i think it says so right there. and she keeps using "we" and always including the idea of having a nice future with the one she loves. and she feels lucky to have someone to share that with.

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
