3 Words

Cheryl Cole

[Cheryl:]
I met a guy at the club
I let him know what I love

[Will I Am:]
I met a girl at the bar
I let her know who you are

I told her you are the love of my life
And one day you gon' be my wife
And we are gonna have some babies together, uh huh

[Cheryl:]
I told him you are the man of my dreams
You saved me from drowning in the streams
I know where, will it gon' last forever?

It was those 3 words that saved my life
It wasn't complicated
Wasn't premeditated
It wasn't under rated
Boy I'm so glad you stayed and
It was those 3 words that saved my life
It wasn't complicated
Wasn't premeditated
To you I'm dedicated
Let's go ahead and say it

I love you, I love you
You are the love of my life, my life
I love you, I love you, I love you
You are the love of my life, my life

[Will I Am:]
You know your holding my heart
Can't nothing tear us apart

[Cheryl:]
You know I'm so in love with you
Can't nothing tear us apart, no

[Will I Am:]
I said I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U
I'm so into you girl, she said

[Cheryl:]
M-E-T-O-O
It's obvious I'm so into you boy
So why don't we hold on for love
Through the ups and downs
Never let go
Holding on forever never let go

It all started with the 3 words that saved my life
It wasn't complicated, it wasn't complicated
It wasn't complicated, it wasn't complicated

Baby yes, 3 words saved my life

I love you, I love you
You are the love of my life
I love you, I love you, I love you
You are the love of my life, my life

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Fast Car
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 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."
