Hey Jane

Spiritualized

Hey Jane, where you're going today?
You took a call and you ran all day
That clock going 110, I never said I'll get you back again
So you ain't got time to make no mistakes
Ain't got time to waste my prays

Hey Jane, where you're going today?
You lit a fire then you find the game
They say you got a troubled soul
I say you got it on the road
So you ain't got time to change your ways
Ain't got time to make no mistakes, with you
So much you can do

Hey Jane, where you're going today?
Got a love for you anyway
I guess I'm tired of hanging round
I'll meet you there when you coming down
And when you taste
Right into my face

Hey Jane, where you're going today?
You broke my heart then you ran away
Some say you got a rotten soul
But I say Janey loves rock and roll
So you ain't got time to
Ain't got time to mess my head, and you
Show them what you can do

Hey Jane where you're going today?
You living fast lane life right away
Got no place for your rotten life
A heart like yours never satisfied
Said you ain't got time to search for
Running so fast you get no place
I'll get a car for you right away
Ain't got time to make no mistakes
Ain't got time to waste, with you

Hey Jane, where you're gonna go
Hey Jane, where you're gonna go
Hey Jane, where you're gonna go
Hey Jane, where you're gonna go

    My Interpretation

    I see this song as a very blinded and insincere way of saying you love someone, almost as if you're pretending that all the negative, bad things that that person does doesn't exist. It's like you know the person may not be the best person to be with, but you're lying to yourself. I think this especially with the whole outro of "sweet heart, sweet light", as this person based on the lyrics is apparently not a sweet, lighthearted person. That's how I've seen it, anyway, especially considering the way the music all gets disoriented and unsettling really fast in the song.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blue
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.
