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.
This next song
Is actually an uptempo song off my new record "I Am"
I love the lyrics so much
I actually wanted to do an acoustic version for you guys
It talks about relationships being so wonderful
Almost too good to be true
You don't know if this is a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you
When I close my eyes, I'm going out of my head
Lost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains
You're the perfect lullaby
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you (you can be a sweet dream)
Or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody, pinch me, your love's too good to be true
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going nowhere
Baby, 'long as you're here, I'll be floating on air 'cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
Wanna wake up from you, you
Tattoo your name across my heart
Tattoo your name across my heart
Not even death can make us part
Not even death can make us part
Tattoo your name across my heart
Tattoo your name across my heart (oh)
Not even death can make us part
What kind of dream is this?
I love you
I love you, I love you
Baby, I love you, you are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete if you weren't by my side (you weren't by my side)
You're my relation in connection to the sun (connection to the sun)
With you next to me there's no darkness I can't overcome (I can't overcome)
You are my raindrops, I am the seed (I am the seed)
With you and God who's the sunlight I bloom and grow so beautifully (grow so beautifully)
Baby, I'm so proud, proud to be your girl (proud to be your girl)
You make the confusion go all away from this cold and mixed-up world
I am in love with you (I'm in love)
You set me free
I can't do this thing called life without you here with me
'Cause I'm dangerously in love with you (dangerously in love)
I'll never leave
Just, just keep lovin' me the way I love you lovin' me, yeah
Every time I see your face my heart smiles
Every time it feels so good it hurts sometimes
Created in this world to love, to hold
To feel, to breathe, to live you
Dangerously in love, yeah (I'm in love)
I can't do this thing
Called life without you here with me (can't do this thing without here with me)
'Cause I'm dangerously in love (holdin' me)
In love (kissin' me, lovin' me)
Keep lovin' me the way I love you lovin' me
Dangerously
Dangerously
I love you
I love you

With all my heart, I love you baby
Stay with me and you will see my arms will hold you, baby
Never leave, 'cause I believe in this in love
Sweet love, hear me callin' out your name
I feel no shame, I'm in love
Sweet love, don't you ever go away
It will always be this way
There's no stronger love in this world (ooh)
Oh, baby, no
You're my man, I'm your girl
I'll never go, wait and see, can't be wrong
Don't you know this is where you belong? Oh
So sweet
So sweet
So sweet oh, oh, love
(Sweet love) oh no, no, no
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no
(Sweet love) don't nobody know
Just leave me sweetly, baby
Just leave me sweetly, baby
Hey
Don't nobody know
Ooh, ooh
Ooh I am in love with you (I'm in love)
You set me free
I can't do this thing called life without you dangerously in love

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Doesn't the tune (the beginning intro) sound like Michael Jackson's 'Beat It'?
