This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Patience, shadow. While you're sick, there's no sight to see.
Little shadow, little shadow.
To the night, will you follow me?
Pardon, shadow, hold on tight to your darkened key.
Little shadow, little shadow.
To the night, will you follow me?
Closer, shadow, volume strikes, still we're cut free
of this song, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
Hey, shadow, stars, break of dawn, take a turn for stars, to my fantasy
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?
Little shadow, little shadow.
To the night, will you follow me?
Pardon, shadow, hold on tight to your darkened key.
Little shadow, little shadow.
To the night, will you follow me?
Closer, shadow, volume strikes, still we're cut free
of this song, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
Hey, shadow, stars, break of dawn, take a turn for stars, to my fantasy
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?

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."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
The real lyrics are....
Patience, shadow For all your sight there's no sight to see Little shadow, little shadow To the night, will you follow me? Pardon, shadow, hold on tight to your darkened key Little shadow, little shadow To the night, will you follow me?
Closer, shadow, for all your strikes Still we're caught between all this sorrow, little shadow To the night, will you follow me? Paler shade inside, deeper deep we dive Turn and turn the side to our fantasy Little shadow, to the night will you follow me?
I love this song
It looks like it's about a friend/lover who is with you until the end, and the narrator is showing their appreciation for them.
To the night (to the end) will you follow me (will you stay right next to me)?
the night is the end, because the night will erase a shadow.
pretty self explanatory.
It's such a lovely ending to the album
I feel the same way.
Lullaby song from the perspective of a single mother, or a child born into a difficult situation. "Pardon, shadow, hold on tight to your darkened key" to me means that she is telling this child to use these hardships for his/her advantage. key being a tool that opens doors, and darkened meaning born of hardship. and the usage of the words "little shadows" means to me that the child is a small reflection of her. "Closer, shadow, volume strikes Still we're caught between all this sorrow, little shadow To the night, will you follow me?" It sounds like she is the child's protection "follow me" because ill keep you safe maybe.
Anyways its a beautiful song and it reminds me of my mother. It also makes me think about my son, so i guess it did its job
agreed indeed
"Volume strikes" sounds more like "for all your strides" (also, I think "with all your sight" is "for all your sight")
In the end, I definitely hear something in the place of
"Hey, shadow, stars, break of dawn Take a turn for stars, to my fantasy"
Kind of sounds like this, but I don't know if they're right... but still, maybe someone can make some guesses based on the sounds/syllables here?
Hey shade inside, dig and deeply die [or maybe, "deepened 'til we die", or "diggin' deep, we die"?] Turn and turn your sight to a fantasy [pretty positive about this one]
I do think the end makes a bit more sense this way:
Closer, shadow For all your strides, still, we're caught between All this sorrow, little shadow To the night, will you follow me? Hey, shade inside, [...] Turn and turn your sight to a fantasy Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me? Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?
fallen might have it perfect... i think "key" might be "keys", "inside to a fantasy" perhaps. And, while the other interpretations are soo sweet, I think it's about a fan she thinks might be stalking her.
second thought, "key" is probably right.
as per fallen1617:<br /> <br /> first three lines = fan staring at her/the band for too long during the opening act, from against the wall, "in the shadows"<br /> next line = wondering if he is dangerously obsessed<br /> next line = common self-defense tactic of using a key in one's fist as a weapon to strike an attacker<br /> lines 8-9 = fan moves up near the front of the stage for the performance, where he is struck with someone's camera on the brow, also where she stage dives.<br /> final lines = pondering/communicating with his inner world
My first listen to this song made me think of a single mother.
i thought the same thing. or of just a mother and a child in general. it has a lullaby type of quality to it.
That's exactly what I heard too! It's quite beautiful. Definitely a movie soundtrack type song.
I think the end of the lyrics wrong, but i don't know what they actually are...:)
love this song, especially the acoustic version.
It sounds more like a lonely song. Little Shadow = Herself. "Turn and turn the side to our fantasy" Maybe an internal friend that follows her into the night, shares her sorrow, her sight, and they go deeper into fantasy. Maybe that's just how it applies to me, but I see no inclination that there is someone else involved.
