You Can Count On Me Lyrics
milkman313 Accoridng to the official lyrics provided for the Japanese edition Tomboy, the woman's voice is saying "I found this great guy".
Other samples include: "do you know your name?" after the first "you know you can count on me"; "you are not a loser" after the first "i'll get so up for it"; "one single thought" after "who are you if i'm not up for it"; "that's how you become great" after "like a force field switch"; "i did with the kid" after "keep you secure just a little bit"; "do your job" after "who grows up to lose that forcefield switch"; "i am not an enertainer" after the second "where are you if i'm not up for it"; "i am out here for you" after the second "you know you can count on me" in the last verse; and "we live in a cynical world" after the last "to get so up for it".
And I've happened to find that most (all?) of these samples are taken from the movie "Jerry Maguire" (1996) directed by Cameron Crowe (starring Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger). FYI
great job!!!
great job!!!
awesome thanks!

I'm pretty sure this song is for/about his daughter. The whole album may be as well. She might be a "tomboy".
But I love the part about the bubble and the force field switch...
He wants to keep her safe and protect her, but he knows if he tries to keep her in a "bubble" that "force field switch" will disappear. Leaving a bubble around her, even with him.
So, overall I'd say this song is telling his daughter that you can count on him.
Shit... I just got the goosebumps.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's the album opener. Okay. Fine. Still a badass song.
I hope this ends the new album. It's so simple and sincere.
good idea but it was the opposite. it started the album. i hear it ending the album too.

any idea what the woman (a sample, im sure) is saying low in the mix right before the drums kick in?
I was wondering that too, I like that sample.

Why is every damn song about his kids?
i'm not sure if every song is... but my best guess would be because thats whats going on in his life.. and his main source of inspiration.

I'm not speaking from experience but I hear having children is a pretty life changing experience/ A big deal... but I could be wrong about that.
