Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
I've got a bad taste in me
It's like I've been robbed of something
I once was in my childhood memories
And it's buried in sandboxes backyard where we used to see
That dreams could come true if believed
The sidewalks scream our names
We are so far from home, far from home
I've got a bad pain in my heart
It's like the first time that I looked in your eyes
The first time it all feel apart
And it's buried in sandboxes backyard where we used to see
That dreams could come true if believed
The sidewalks scream our names
We are so far from home, far from home
But now we are so far from home, far from home
All I have is words to which I must lay
I scribble them down hoping they'll save me
Me but I'm lost, I'm so lost
These pages will burn and I will pass away
Yesterday is gone and I just can't shake
The fact that I'm lost, I'm so lost
But now we are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home
But now we are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home
We are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home
It's like I've been robbed of something
I once was in my childhood memories
And it's buried in sandboxes backyard where we used to see
That dreams could come true if believed
The sidewalks scream our names
We are so far from home, far from home
I've got a bad pain in my heart
It's like the first time that I looked in your eyes
The first time it all feel apart
And it's buried in sandboxes backyard where we used to see
That dreams could come true if believed
The sidewalks scream our names
We are so far from home, far from home
But now we are so far from home, far from home
All I have is words to which I must lay
I scribble them down hoping they'll save me
Me but I'm lost, I'm so lost
These pages will burn and I will pass away
Yesterday is gone and I just can't shake
The fact that I'm lost, I'm so lost
But now we are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home
But now we are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home
We are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home
Now, we are so far from home
Far from home

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
wow. no comments? this song is amazing.
phenomenal!
..pretty obvious meaning... just the feeling that comes when you're far away from where you're used to being.. whether that's physical or mental distance.
I like this song on more of a spirtual level. We are far from our REAL home. This world is temporary and eventually our home will be in heaven.
I love this song because it says, "Look at the innocence we had, and how we threw it away." That we let ourselves slip from the ideal we had for ourselves when we were children. When all we wanted was to be a mommy or police officer, and we let our lives change--into better or worse.
I always seem to pair this song with 'Seattle', both from the "Seattle Sessions" album.
I love the line about the sandboxes. It makes me think of how when I was little, anything was possible, and life was easy. But now growing up, and moving away, you're still trying to reach your goals, but it's harder and you miss being young and believing.
My favorite line is "dreams could come true if believed". I wrote that on a card and stuck it up on my wall.
Also, the song is just beautiful. It's relaxing and heartwrenching all at the time.
(NOTE THAT I SAY THESE THINGS IN A MUSICIAN POINT OF VIEW AND THAT I KNOW HOW MOST SONG WRITERS TRY TO WRITE THEIR SONGS...i.e. most all songs are written in a way so that everyone who listens to it can possibly relate to it. the song doesn't mention anything that is too specific too make someone say "well that doesnt apply to me!) in my opinion...this song can come off to well anyone in many ways. to me, this song first came off as 2 completely different things. 1. A spiritual type meaning. we all get so far from God (well those who believe in the TRUTH that is..) It is a horrible feeling to be away from God and that it gives enough inspiration to actually write about just that. to be close to Him, well everything is GREAT. but to be away, even just turned around, feels miserable once the good times have come and gone.
the second way i interpreted this that it could be about a girl. he feels that he has gotten separated from his girl at heart and emotionally and well i am sure we all know how that feels and when we are truly in love with each other and we know it but one gets even a little emotionally detached, it kills inside.
COMMENTS? QUESTIONS?
He does a great job of leaving his lyrics open ended ,but the whole cd has the trend of them missing Seattle and that being a rock band isn't all that he had dreamed it would be when he was a little kid. No when he's on the road all he has are his lyrics that he scribbles down on paper hoping they'll give him meaning, but they can't. All of it will go away and he just wants to be home so he doesn't feel lost anymore.
