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.
You make me feel like I'm losing my virginity
The first time, every time when you touchin' me
I make you bloom like the flower that you never seen
Under the sun we are one buzzin' energy
Let's pollinate to create a family tree
This evolution with you comes naturally
Some call it science (science)
We call it chemistry
This is the story of the birds and the bees
Even the seasons change
Our love still stays the same
You give me that
Hummingbird heartbeat
Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
I've flown a million miles, just to find a magic seed
A white flower, with the power to bring life to me
You're so exotic, get my whole body fluttering
Constantly craving for a taste of your sticky sweet
Always on the brink of a heart attack
You gave me alive and keep me coming back
I see the sun rise in your eyes, your eyes
We've got a future full of blue skies, blue skies
Even when seasons change
I'm still stay the same
You give me that
Hummingbird heartbeat
Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the Hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
You love me, you love me never love me not (no, no)
Not (no, no) oh no
When we're in perfect harmony
You make me sound like, like a symphony
Oh your wings could make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Oh, spread my wings and make me fly (fly)
The taste of your honey is so sweet (oh)
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat (hey)
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat (hey yeah)
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat (hey, hey yeah)
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
The first time, every time when you touchin' me
I make you bloom like the flower that you never seen
Under the sun we are one buzzin' energy
Let's pollinate to create a family tree
This evolution with you comes naturally
Some call it science (science)
We call it chemistry
This is the story of the birds and the bees
Even the seasons change
Our love still stays the same
You give me that
Hummingbird heartbeat
Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
I've flown a million miles, just to find a magic seed
A white flower, with the power to bring life to me
You're so exotic, get my whole body fluttering
Constantly craving for a taste of your sticky sweet
Always on the brink of a heart attack
You gave me alive and keep me coming back
I see the sun rise in your eyes, your eyes
We've got a future full of blue skies, blue skies
Even when seasons change
I'm still stay the same
You give me that
Hummingbird heartbeat
Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the Hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat
You love me, you love me never love me not (no, no)
Not (no, no) oh no
When we're in perfect harmony
You make me sound like, like a symphony
Oh your wings could make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Oh, spread my wings and make me fly (fly)
The taste of your honey is so sweet (oh)
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat (hey)
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat (hey yeah)
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat (hey, hey yeah)
Ah, ah, hummingbird heartbeat

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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."
