Spaceman

Dave Matthews Band

Prolly get it wrong as much as I get it right,
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
What I remember most about that night is
I love the way you move baby
I love the way you move baby

I like most liquor but I don't like gin
I don't always like the skin I'm in
When I get it wrong I'm gonna start again
But I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you move baby

Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh

All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, just remember I love the way you love me baby
And I love the way you move

I'm not all there, but I'm a faithful sinner
I might get lost, but I'll be home for dinner
If God don't like me he can send me to hell
But I love the way you love me girl
And I love the way you move baby

But I prayed to heaven to keep my place
'Till I looked in the mirror saw the devil's face
And I'll be a dog for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me baby
I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you talk

All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, just remember I love the way you move

Bad days come when the good day's gone
Workin' as hard as the day is long
A workin' man works but when I get home
I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you talk baby

All the freaks are on parade, I wanna fill my belly so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, so cry cry baby if we must, but
Oh, remember,
Oh remember,

All the people are on parade, thought I saw a spaceman tryin' to get laid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life
But it don't always work out, cry cry baby if we must
But just remember, I'll remember
I love the way you love me girl

    I really can't think of a Dave song that doesn't make me think of something that has happened in my life... it is simply amazing. Even if my situation doesn't match what he wrote it about, I can make it mine. That is the beautiful thing about music like this, pure emotion can be translated into many different situations in life. Keep jammin' guys, and everybody else plz keep listening and loving!

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
