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.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song is easy to understand! I am a Kabbalist so I know what she is meaning. Basically the "4 minutes" is a concept about not wasting time. How people think they want to do something - but they never get around to doing it. and how each minute is important. Thats why the lyric is "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". its again its about people not acting and just wasting time and thinking about it. Its also about your "Conciousness". Meaning if your head isnt in the right place - you wont get it. Which means, if you want something, your thoughts create what you want. The thin about the boy and girl - is also about how life can change by having children. Anyway, its a concept about important things are to get done, and how we all talk and dont get them done>
Shouldn't this song be 4 minutes long though?
It is that i know of
Four minutes....and five seconds :/ unless it's just incorrect on my iTunes....
...I don't know why but I'm starting to like it..I mean, I heard it in a club and it rocked!!! the lyrics are just meaningless... but still... Madonna's the queen!!!
This song is about "The Law of Attraction". It's a warning to everyone as to what's going on on a cosmic level. If you're not familiar with Rhonda Byrnes book the secret that came out around 2006, Madonna is trying to pass on some very important information as to what's going to happen in 2012 and IS happening now. The law of attraction is a universal law that says what you put your attention on you attract. So if you say I am a healthy person you attract health, but if you say I don't want cancer...guess what you're attracting? Yup...cancer. "4 minutes to save the world is just that." 4 minutes to try to educate the masses. I teach this as well as mind, body, and spirit. Visit my website for more info on the changes we are currently going through and will go through. I have links on my links page that should help. Much love and peace!
Madonna's a legend!
Agreed with the preceding blogger! Here's the New Detroit Math.
Four Minutes X 30 Years =Rock Brilliance! Madonna Saved and Changed the world one brilliant song at a time after another. Music is Her American Life and Ray of Light. She Lives to Tell and Takes a Bow and that is indeed Something to Remember. Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone is an American success story who made it from nothing and made something of her life-through song, dance and humanitarian work, the lady is the outcome of the happier aspects of the American Dream. Like the song says "Are you ready to go?/There's enough room for both!...Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock..." For good ol' Madge, Music is a God-given gift of beauty. Four Minutes=Immortality. For Madonna, may it ever be so. Madonna Forever!
She writes alot about the law of attraction and this kind of secret that she knows and she is always hinting and putting random subliminals or double meanings into her words that can be taken in so many ways that it is hard to decifer unless you are into these things, like kabbalah, law of attraction, worship of baphomet and hecate, some people translate it into even christianity although Madonna frequently bashes religion.
This song is about taking a pill(probably MDMA) in a club and expresses the feeling of the user before and after. The first song is about a person who has the pills and sells it so it's "candy shop".
The verses in this song also prove it
"You already got it If you thought it It better be what you want If you feel it It must be real just Say the word and I'm a give you what you want"
Love madonna. Loved confessions. Was expecting a lot more from this song. Justin sucks and he's singing most of the song, and that he's featuring madonna.. I don't think this is her best work. Its very unlike madonna to bow down and conform/copy what is popular these days. But people criticized confessions before it came out and it turned out to be a great record. Let's hope this is the worst song off hard candy.
I HATE THIS SONG!!!
IT`S BAD AND IT SEEMS TO BE MORE A JUSTIN SONG MORE THAN A MADONNA SONG....
