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.

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
I've been into all sorts of music throughout the years and at the moment I'm in the stage where I actually like many different genres, but mostly electronic music like dubstep, dnb, electro progressive house, acid jazz etc... For some reason, though, when I go to a mainstream and get shitfaced with my best mates, I understand why most people like songs like this (Dynamite) - it's catchy, easy to follow, it makes a person want to stand up and dance, and sing and smile and be happy in general.
Less hate, more love.
I think you guys are giving this song way more flak than it deserves.
Dynamite doesn't aim to be the next anthem of the oppressed youth, nor is it supposed to be some sort of deep revelatory exploratin of the human psyche. It doesn't even aim to be groundbreaking, or original, or any of those other buzzwords that some of you seem to love oh-so-much.
What Dynamite sets out to be (and indeed, succeeds in being) is an unapologetically catchy and danceable summer party song (look at when it was released as a single- May). And in my opinion, it pulls that role off with aplomb.
To BackToREalityBitch... You are clearly mentally handicapped. There is an option to specify what kind of comment you are leaving. One of the choices is "opinion" so it clearly is for sharing opinions. And using vulgarity just makes you look even more ignorant. Hmm, and isn't it contradictory that you shared no meaning to the song and just gave your opinion? If anyone should "gtfo" as you put it, it should be you for your ignorance and hatred. So please, BackToRealityBitch, please "gtfo" of my universe, you're really mucking the place up for the rest of us.
Anyway, this song is apparently describing the mood of the club scene saying that sometimes you just want to let go and dance without thinking about anything.
Now if this were written by someone with some kind of versatility in music, I would like this; however, Taio Cruz writes ONLY about unintelligent babble that inspires sheep-like activity and stupidity. Terrible artist in my opinion, the beat or rhythm aren't even fresh, they're old and recycled. He is like a call back to disco (which died for a reason) which was completely unintelligent and a waste of vinyl.
I'm not saying that he should die or anything, but maybe he should pick a job he's more suited for, such as cashier at Burger King where he can use his sweet voice and repeat mindless babble that actually might be useful. He certainly doesn't deserve the popularity he got.
There's some heart to the this song. Can't help but love it.
I think this song means that he just wants to have fun with his crew and he wants to have the most fun. I love this song!!
Worst song i ever heard
ok this sad as i dont even follow pop charts but my friends do and i omg i cant believe im going to say this but i... i dont...mind this song. its kinda catchy. did i just say that? however dignity prevails I HATE THAT OTHER SONG HE DOES. i dont know what its called but it has that kesha chick and is 10 times as worse that dirty picture one -unintelligent babble that inspires sheep-like activity and stupidity. super stupidity. btw you go IntersensoryStimuli!!!!!! n i know its mean but i laughed with escobar123. now im goin to click the option "opinion"
if you dont like this song (for example escobar), youve never been laid.
Great song...so filled with energy. Love being "the last one standing" on the dance floor. Nothing is more uplifting than dancing to fun music; feeling the energy of the crowd; and laughing with friends and new acquaintances. Just luv upbeat tunes!
This song's chorus has a lot of parts that are similar to Avril Lavigne's song "Freak Out". That's got the "hands in the air" to the "let go" to the "live my life" and everything. Could easily just be chance, but I feel like the writers of the two songs at least had quite a bit of the same stuff in mind.
