The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
4 A.M. this hotel room and I think of you
Not in anger, but in danger of calling you
My mind's a long, long way from it was dead
And now the good times just keep drifting back in, whoa
[Bridge]
Breathe it on out the end will come so freely
You'll figure it out the answer will come so clearly dear
Let it all go cause we can't know just what will be
Hard it is to set you free
It's so much easier that way
[Chorus:]
My heart sings when I think of you
That is what you do
A melody that will settle me
That is just the thought of you
My heart sings and it's time you knew, yeah
My heart sings
I'm not made of stone, I'm only flesh and bone
I'm half crazy and amazed that you are alone
Let's sit on the shore, watch the ocean breathe (sit and watch the ocean breathe)
It's getting dark but we both don't want to leave, whoa
[Bridge]
Breathe it on out the end will come so freely
You'll figure it out the answer will come so clearly dear
Let it all go cause we can't know just what will be
Hard it is to set you free
It's so much easier that way
[Chorus]
My heart sings when I think of you
That is what you do
A melody that will settle me
That is just the thought of you
My heart sings and it's time you knew, yeah
My heart sings [Repeats: x1]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
My heart sings, my heart sings when I think of you, yeah
You wake up me when I'm lost at sea
Bring me back to you, yeah
We can know just what we'll be
What the future brings
But my heart sings
My heart sings [Repeats: x1]
Not in anger, but in danger of calling you
My mind's a long, long way from it was dead
And now the good times just keep drifting back in, whoa
[Bridge]
Breathe it on out the end will come so freely
You'll figure it out the answer will come so clearly dear
Let it all go cause we can't know just what will be
Hard it is to set you free
It's so much easier that way
[Chorus:]
My heart sings when I think of you
That is what you do
A melody that will settle me
That is just the thought of you
My heart sings and it's time you knew, yeah
My heart sings
I'm not made of stone, I'm only flesh and bone
I'm half crazy and amazed that you are alone
Let's sit on the shore, watch the ocean breathe (sit and watch the ocean breathe)
It's getting dark but we both don't want to leave, whoa
[Bridge]
Breathe it on out the end will come so freely
You'll figure it out the answer will come so clearly dear
Let it all go cause we can't know just what will be

My heart sings [Repeats: x1]

Fast Car

"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.

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.
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This is probably one of the best 311 ballads ever.
agreed. this one is right up there amber. this is a beautiful song.
beautiful...
Song of worship, love and adoration!!!
"Four A.M. this hotel room and I think of you Not in anger, but in danger of calling you My mind's a long, long way from it was then And now the good times just keep drifting back in." I think its actually "it was dead", as in feeling brain dead and worthless. Great song, about loving someone and not being able to get them out of your head.
This song so simply, and yet so powerfully, the process of losing someone that is very precious to you, especially the love of your life. The words and melodies perfectly reflect the emotions you feel after having the time to "heal" from a breakup. After the sadness, anger, confusion, frustration, anxiety and other emotions pass, and time and space allows you (and them) to remember and miss the great times. Your heart sings when thinking of those moments, as, for some reason, even the most insignificant moments with that person were some of the best of your life. The thought of them settles your soul and reminds you that, while you were together, you were blessed with love, because it is so much better to have loved and lost than never loved at all. For some reason, the memories and emotions almost come back stronger than before. These thoughts come out of NOWHERE, and all the sudden you have the urge to call that person and tell them that they are on your mind, and you miss them so much. But that is a dangerous call. It is always so awkward and fragile to contact someone that you were so close with, but lost, and both of you have changed. Although in your heart you hope they are happy, even deeper down you still hope for something more. What will happen if you call? Small talk is not the reason you are calling...they will not be fooled. Will you put all of your cards on the table and risk ultimate rejection...or possible reconciliation? Will they take you back? Will they tell you they have moved on? Who knows what the future brings, and time and space are the greatest healers of all. But, if you call them, is it because you want to see how they are doing, or because you want them to know that you still want them back? It is so hard to let them go, but as cliche as it is, if you love someone, set them free, and if they return, it is yours forever. Love will not return unless you let it go, whether it be with the same person or someone else. You cannot move on until you find clarity, and understand that life will go on...it will get better, with or without them. You have to learn from your relationships, and learn from your mistakes. Forgive them, forgive yourself. Love yourself. Your time together had a purpose. Just like the 311 song "Purpose" - "I believe in your purpose baby, coming up to the surface and maybe I'll never see you again...then again, who knows..." So...make that call, take that chance...be honest with yourself, and with them. You can't know what will be, what the future brings...but you will never know if you don't try! :-)
