Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Der Abend senkt sich auf die Dächer der Vorstadt
Die Kinder am Hof müssen heim
Die Krämersfrau fegt das Trottoir vor dem Laden
Ihr Mann trägt die Obstkisten rein
Der Tag ist vorüber
Die Menschen sind müde
Doch viele gehen nicht gleich nach Haus
Denn drüben klingt aus einer offenen Türe
Musik auf den Gehsteig hinaus
Die kleine Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da wo das Leben noch lebenswert ist
Dort in der Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da fragt dich keiner was du hast oder bist
Die Postkarten dort an der Wand in der Ecke
Das Foto vom Fußballverein
Das Stimmengewirr
Die Musik aus der Jukebox
All das ist ein Stückchen Daheim
Du wirfst eine Mark in den Münzautomaten
Schaust anderen beim Kartenspiel zu
Und stehst mit dem Pils in der Hand an der Theke
Und bist gleich mit jedem per du
Die kleine Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da wo das Leben noch lebenswert ist
Dort in der Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da fragt dich keiner was du hast oder bist
Man redet sich heiß und spricht sich von der Seele
Was einem die Laune vergällt
Bei Korn und bei Bier findet mancher die Lösung
Für alle Probleme der Welt
Wer Hunger hat
Der bestellt Würstchen mit Kraut
Weil es andere Speisen nicht gibt
Die Rechnung, die steht auf dem Bierdeckel drauf
Doch beim Wirt hier hat jeder Kredit
Die kleine Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da wo das Leben noch lebenswert ist
Dort in der Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da fragt dich keiner was du hast oder bist
Die kleine Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da wo das Leben noch lebenswert ist
Dort in der Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da fragt dich keiner was du hast oder bist
Die Kinder am Hof müssen heim
Die Krämersfrau fegt das Trottoir vor dem Laden
Ihr Mann trägt die Obstkisten rein
Der Tag ist vorüber
Die Menschen sind müde
Doch viele gehen nicht gleich nach Haus
Denn drüben klingt aus einer offenen Türe
Musik auf den Gehsteig hinaus
Die kleine Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da wo das Leben noch lebenswert ist
Dort in der Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da fragt dich keiner was du hast oder bist
Die Postkarten dort an der Wand in der Ecke
Das Foto vom Fußballverein
Das Stimmengewirr
Die Musik aus der Jukebox
All das ist ein Stückchen Daheim
Du wirfst eine Mark in den Münzautomaten
Schaust anderen beim Kartenspiel zu
Und stehst mit dem Pils in der Hand an der Theke
Und bist gleich mit jedem per du
Die kleine Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da wo das Leben noch lebenswert ist
Dort in der Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da fragt dich keiner was du hast oder bist
Man redet sich heiß und spricht sich von der Seele
Was einem die Laune vergällt
Bei Korn und bei Bier findet mancher die Lösung

Die kleine Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da wo das Leben noch lebenswert ist
Dort in der Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da fragt dich keiner was du hast oder bist

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
