There's a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion
Like a map with no ocean
There's a limit to your love
Your love, your love, your love (your love)
There's a limit to you care
So carelessly there
Is it truth or dare?
There's a limit to your care
There's a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion
Like a map with no ocean
There's a limit to your love
Your love, your love, your love
There's a limit to you care
So carelessly there
Is it truth or dare? (There's a limit to your care)
Is it truth or dare? (There's a limit to your care)

There's a limit to your love
There's a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion (like a waterfall in slow motion)

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
If you've heard the rest of James Blake's music, it may come clear that Feist's song is perfect for the underrated talent James Blake possesses. Yes, it is simple and the instrumentals are not complex either, but what makes James Blake so powerful is the fact that his silence in a song is just as important as those two piano chords. Listening to this song, I'm left in the silence waiting for the song to continue and that's exactly what Blake is trying to achieve. Many times, music is simplified to create more emotion. Give Radiohead's Videotape a listen and you may understand the effect of a stripped down recording.
I was listening to this song in class and just about lost myself when the lower bass-line started. My pants may be a bit wet.
<br /> same feeling i get..<br />
So I think I figured out the meaning of the lyrics. When he says "there's a limit to your love", he means it in a sarcastic way, he really means there is no limit to your love. Why I think this is right after he says "like a water fall in slow motion," water falls pretty much go on forever and one in slow motion would last way longer. And on a land map oceans act as the borders because there is no more land to go to. A map with no ocean wouldn't have a limit on it.
I believe this song critiques the character of one who is superficial in their approach to loving others. The best example of this is in the lyric:
"Like a map with no ocean" - The map being the physical object which serves as an indicator for traversing the ocean. Without an ocean, the map remains only an item.
"Like a waterfall in slow motion" - The beauty of the waterfall is captured only in fragments. A waterfall is a reflection of the flow of nature. To slow it down is to deceive the viewer into seeing only the beauty of the water and not where it comes from.
Wow, James Blake is amazing! This song is pure poetry ( sample of limit to your love by Feist) the video is equally as brilliant.
like the great bluesmen, the repetition is a major part of the song-structure, like john lee hooker for instance or in any other blues and soul artists, i can hear that in some of James Blakes music, but it is performed in a modern, urban way, great stuff anyway,
I'm sorry MrFrog, if one of the reasons you hate this song is because you dislike the way he pronounces the word "water" you clearly need to better understand how to critique someone's art instead of criticize it. I'd enjoy to see you do what James Blake does. Who played at Coachella?? He did. Did I see your name on that lineup? NOPE. Peace MrFrog PS I dig SeeSaw
I feel like this song is about someone who is supposedly in love, but they aren't actually fully immersed in love; there's a limit to it. They would not do anything for the object of their affection like true love, rather, it's a fleeting thing that they claim is love when it's really just a slight emotional attachment that has no way of standing the test of time. He knows that it's not going to last and that it isn't genuine: "There's a limit to you care/ So carelessly there, is it truth or dare/ There's a limit to your care." A map without an ocean is incomplete, it isn't whole. I'm still trying to grasp what "a waterfall in slow motion" signifies... I feel like I'm so close to it but I can't quite sort out my thoughts. I get the feeling that James Blake is hurt that the person doesn't truly care. This song is just amazing. Perfect in every way. I definitely agree with tee2thawhyon on the use of negative space. In lots of ways it's more meaningful than songs with tons of layers.
Have to agree with MrFog this song is just boring and repetitive. It's trying to be way deeper than it really is. Two piano chords and some awful nonsense lyrics don't make a great song.
Four chords.
One of the most boring dreary go nowhere songs I have ever heard. The dull plinky plonky piano backing and James's inability to say the word water properly is also very annoying every time it comes on the radio. It wouldn't be so bad but this dull monotonous tone continues through the whole songs and just keeps repeating the same few lines over and over. Don't get me wrong, I like The Smiths for christ's sake and there is nothing wrong with slow love songs, but at least they contain a tune and not just an opiate addled monkey hitting the odd piano key.
MrFog<br /> The point of the song is not to go anywhere. It goes nowhere intentionally. Also, he says water the way he does because he has a British accent. The piano barely plays to add an air of melancholy and 1800th century romance. (not romance in a buy me flowers and chocolates sense). You may still dislike the song but you still must respect the premise of the song. It accomplishes what it sets out to accomplish. I think the tone and style is just not something you relate to. <br /> PS- I like the Smiths too.
I'm British, that's not how we say water, even the cockneys. All I'm saying is that the song has a lot of potential but is executed very lazily. Oh well, agree to disagree.
I wonder if you're familiar with expression, feeling or ambience? If we all spoke or sung the word 'water' with received pronunciation, what a dull world it would be! The distortion of individual words is part of the effect. It helps to convey emotion and a sense of longing. Take the late, great John Martyn, who used to slur his words completely, using his voice as an instrument to add feeling to the piece. Equally, the sparse piano chords add further to sentiment of the song.
