This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
There was a girl named Annie
She had a very pretty face
And not the way you would think so
Let me see if I can try to explain it
She had a smile, it could light up a room
And if she moved, it'd be movin' in you
But she wasn't like a magazine
She was just plain Jane and her name was Annie
She never looked in the mirror
She never liked what she would see
And even if I tried to tell her
She never listened to a word I'd say
She always wanted what she never had
But never had what she needed so badly
Someone tellin' her she was fine
And that's not right and it's why I'm sayin'
Annie, don't be shy here
Annie, don't just lie there
Looks don't make the world go 'round
But it comes around
And Annie, don't be shy here
Annie, please don't cry here
I always have to stop myself
'Cause you're beautiful
I didn't know if I could tell her
I didn't know if I could make her see
She didn't need to find her beauty
She didn't need to find a way to show me
They took her moments of feelin' alive
And made them moments of dyin' inside
She needed someone to scream her name
To take her pain and it's why I screamin'
Annie, don't be shy here
Annie, don't just lie there
Looks don't make the world go 'round
But it comes around
And Annie, don't be shy here
Annie, please don't cry here
I always have to stop myself
'Cause you're beautiful
And Annie, you are the one sight
My eyes never tire of
It's like I cannot get enough of you
Annie, you are the one song left in my symphony
Like you were made for me
Annie, don't be shy here
Annie, don't just lie there
Looks don't make the world go 'round
But it comes around
And Annie, don't be shy here
Annie, please don't cry here
I always have to stop myself
'Cause you're beautiful
And Annie, don't be shy here
Annie, don't just lie there
Looks don't make the world go 'round
But it comes around
And Annie, don't be shy here
Annie, please don't cry here
I always have to stop myself
Have to stop myself, have to stop myself
'Cause you're beautiful
'Cause you're beautiful
'Cause you're beautiful

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."

Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
It's about a guy who is telling the girl he loves that he loves everything about her, the way she looks; who she is and everything about her and he desperately wants her to see herself the way he does, and realise that she is so worthy. He is saving her from her low self esteem from the way society and people around her have punished her for not looking "good" enough. It's so incredibly sweet how he is fixing her with his love when nobody else has; not herself, her family, friends whatever didn't understand but this guy, her lover, does. What upsets her doesn't matter to him, it means nothing to him that she doesn't fit society's standards of good looks.
then she rips his heart out and becomes someone she is not
What? Where in the song does it ever say that? Nothing in the song points to that at all... Why do I get the feeling that you aren't talking about the song, because your comment is oddly specific and I've never had someone reply so personally to any comment I've made during the whole time I've been on the internet? <br /> If you're thinking that I'm some girl you knew in real life then even if I'm not the person you think I am, all I can say on any girl's behalf is that if she loved you, and you think she ripped your heart out maybe you weren't upfront and direct enough that you were interested in her, and if a self conscious and deeply wounded girl like the one in the song detected that you were flirting with her a bit, she might think that you're only pretending to be interested because you feel sorry for her and not because you feel something for her and you want to make her feel better for a little while before you move on with your life. Maybe she doesn't want you to feel sorry for her, especially if she does love you, she doesn't want you to flirt with her just because you pity her! So if you flirt with her and she doesn't entirely reject you but you can see she has her guard up and she tells you she has been flirting with another guy or that she's kind of busy or some aversion then maybe she's just letting you know that it's fine if you don't want her, and letting you know not to flirt with her just so she can have some attention for a while because she already has it if she wants, and that you're not the only one interested. She might especially do this if you seemingly change your mind a lot and blow hot and cold signs to her, she can't read your mind.<br /> If she made one pretty bad mistake and it's something that doesn't sound like her, well have you ever stopped to think she's really hurting and confused right now especially if she's just a teenage girl and if he loved her like he claims then why wouldn't he try to help her through that and not decide that she's become someone else entirely just because of one great mistake?<br /> Or if she was flirting with you in a way that doesn't seem like her either, that doesn't mean that she's now someone else it just means she doesn't know how to get your attention and she gets nervous so she might say something stupid, it's not like she became someone else all of a sudden. <br /> So if you only decided to think she became someone else because she made a mistake then she's not the one who ripped your heart out at all, <br /> YOU'RE the one who ripped her heart out so don't even begin to say that she broke yours. <br /> IF you are entirely certain that there was a girl who you were kind to the whole time, and you clearly let her know that you are interested in her and you gave her friendship and you weren't confusing at all by telling her things that would make a girl think you're not available, and she still went ahead and broke your heart and clearly rejected you, then maybe she was not interested in you at all and just using you for attention for a while that she never gets from anyone except you because she is ugly like she is in the song and she genuinely isn't attracted to you and really doesn't want you back, or maybe she does love you and she can't handle being loved and wanted like you love her. She can't deal with being hated on and dissed her whole life then all of a sudden you come along and tell her you love her and she's great, even if she loves you she might feel the need to push you away because she can't handle it. You wouldn't understand if you've never been bullied or discriminated yourself, but if you have been hated and discriminated against a lot, you will be damaged and having someone love you and compliment you is something you have to grow accustomed to, and even someone telling you they love you is difficult to accept. <br /> So basically either you are saying she broke his heart because of something that was actually his fault because of the reasons I have outlined, or it was her fault because she just outright and entirely declined him in a mean way and if it's the second reason, I feel really sorry for you, I'm sorry you lost your 'one symphony'. <br /> If it's the first reason, you never know your paths might cross one day if both of you always love each other forever, and you want it to happen. <br /> If you weren't responding because you personally got your heart ripped out by an "Annie' then what does your response mean?!? I mean any rational person couldn't possibly obtain from the song that Annie broke HIS heart, and that's why I thought you were responding to me personally. I'd really like to know you think either way.
Sorry it took me so long to see that you responded & that I finally just replied. <br /> No, that comment was not about the song, nor was it meant to made directly to you. I agree 100% with your interpretation but at the time I was angry about an "Annie" that I felt that way about & for me all that love, apparently, didn't matter…At all. I found they never felt anything for me & they made out that after all that I was just like a stranger to them. I wasn't doing well at the time I responded. But I'm a lot better now.<br /> <br /> You definitely makes good points all of which I agree with & you made me think. especially from the girl's perspective. I was just feeling negative about feeling that same way about someone as the guy does in the song. Loving someone & loving/adoring everything about them & from the beginning they convince you they feel that same way, as deeply as you do about them but then they start acting different & then they deny feeling the same way..<br /> <br /> The thing was, I let my feelings get too far only because I was actually led on to think that & then she denied them. My mind was played with. My emotions were played with. I don't know if it was intentional though. I don't know what she was feeling either or if she thought the same thing. Probably safe to go with no.<br /> <br /> She was different with me than other people. She was so deep, smart, but cautious & guarded but still wanted to keep in touch/be friends. But after our initial conversations, she appeared to act different/talk different to other people, differently than the person she made herself out to be to me. She was acting weird & wasn't talking to me as much after & I hated that because it hurt & I was confused & also felt shut out. But she still kept in touch with me & was a friend, which was enough. & finally I told her my feelings because I felt an urgency to do so, but..she kindly broke the news to me, yet still wanted to keep in touch & hang out, but at the time that was unthinkable for me. I don't think I tried hard enough. But maybe it wasn't worth a try.<br /> Thank you for wanting to know what i thought, & sorry again.<br /> & true, if two people really love each other, they always will forever, & hopefully their paths will cross one day :).
