But I always recognize you, you are part of me
I feel you whether in Jamaica or in the angel city
You're such a gift to me, ooh
I think of all those years you saw me through tears and the good times that we spend
Hey you, you're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I am sayin' and we've just begun
I've got one wish for this music to be an uplift
And I need an uplift to deal
And there are few songs all the people can sing along
And one song, come along and sing it for real, ooh
I think of all those years you saw me through tears and the good times that we spend
Hey you, you're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I am sayin' and we've just begun
When so many many others come and go (come and go)
Your sweetness pulls me through (ooh, ooh, ooh)
I think of all those years you saw through my tears and the good times that we spend
Hey you, you're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what
I am sayin' and we've just begun
Ahh, when I gave up on myself
Hey you, you never turned your back on me
Ahh, when I gave up on myself
Hey you, what would the world be like Ahh, without you around
Music you're my constant companion, ahh

I am loving this upbeat song and it's the perfect countdown to an album called Uplifter! No real deep meanings here, just that music has always been there for him through the good and the bad, and always let's him vent and express just what we wants, lyrically and musically. Can't wait for the new album to drop!
Besides talkin' 'bout the music I think it also has another meaning as it could also be referred to someone's best friends. It has great music, can't wait for the album release.

If you take out some of the music refrences it could also be about marihuana.
:-]
i agree sounds like a song about them quitting and how there going to miss it

Can't wait for the cd to hit!!!I will have to listen to this song more...maybe it will grow on me.

Yeah the songs about good music that always there to put you in the best of moods. I really love that they said "music" at the end of the song and not throughout. Again the ambiguity allows fans to think about a best friend, or if you don't have one then music will do :)

It's kinda like explaining what 311's music has been for me throughout the years... similar to Nick I guess Their music is my constant companion and it's there to listen to when I'm down... such an Uplifter lol I agree ... the "music" repeated at the end is sick tight. Can't wait to see them at Red Rocks and hear the new album!!!

^Come on. Seriously? Then it could also be about puppies.Or cupcakes.
Anyway.. it's obviously about their love for music. They've been making music for over 20 years, so it's definitely been a companion to them. And I agree with MandeeLacka. 311 fixes everything.
38 days and counting!!
I always figured that this song was about "bud". I'm pretty sure that they purposely wrote the song knowing that it could be interpreted that way. It wouldn't be a strange topic for 311 to write about.

yeah honestly this could be about anything if you cut out the music references. anyway, good song, but definately not one of my favorite idk why.

its about a musical instrument. especially the intro, my guitar changes its tune quite often :)

I've got one wish for this music to be an uplift And I need an uplift to deal
it's about how music will always be there for them and how it makes them happy to create it. i have similar feelings towards music lol
hellz yeah! 311 always cheers me up when im down. they sure are an Uplifter!
