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.
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Ayer te busqué
Entre el suelo, y el cielo, mi cielo
Y no te encontré
Puedo pensar
Que huyes de mí
Porque en mi silencio una corazonada
Me dice que sí
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Ven, regresa por mí
Que la vida se me vuelve un ocho
Si no estás aquí
Quiero pensar (quiero pensar)
Que no tardarás (que no tardarás)
Porque en el planeta no existe más nadie
A quien pueda yo amar, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Ayer te busqué
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Y no te encontré
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Saliste de aquí
Ay, buscando quién sabe qué cosas
Tan lejos de mí
Puedo pensar y vuelvo pensar
Que no tardarás, oh-oh-oh (no tardarás)
Porque en el planeta no existe más nadie
A quien pueda yo amar, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Ayer te busqué
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Y no te encontré
Te busqué en al armario, en al abecedario
Debajo del carro, en el negro, en el blanco
En los libros de historia, en las revistas y en la radio
Te busqué por las calles, en donde tu madre
En cuadros de Botero, en mi monedero
En dos mil religiones, te busqué hasta en mis canciones
Uoh-uoh-uoh
Oh-uoh-uoh
No
No-no-no-no-no-no
¿Dónde estás, corazón? (¿Dónde estás, corazón?)
Ayer te busqué
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Y no te encontré
Te busqué en al armario, en al abecedario (¿dónde estás, corazón?)
Debajo del carro, en el negro, en el blanco
En los libros de historia, en las revistas y en la radio (ayer te busqué)
Te busqué por las calles, en donde tu madre (¿dónde estás, corazón?)
En cuadros de Botero, en mi monedero
En dos mil religiones, te busqué hasta en mis canciones (y no te encontré)
Uoh-uoh-uoh (¿dónde estás, corazón?)
Ayer te busqué
Te busqué en al armario, en al abecedario (¿dónde estás, corazón?)
Debajo del carro, en el negro, en el blanco
En los libros de historia, en las revistas y en la radio (y no te encontré)
Ayer te busqué
Entre el suelo, y el cielo, mi cielo
Y no te encontré
Puedo pensar
Que huyes de mí
Porque en mi silencio una corazonada
Me dice que sí
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Ven, regresa por mí
Que la vida se me vuelve un ocho
Si no estás aquí
Quiero pensar (quiero pensar)
Que no tardarás (que no tardarás)
Porque en el planeta no existe más nadie
A quien pueda yo amar, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Ayer te busqué
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Y no te encontré
¿Dónde estás, corazón?
Saliste de aquí

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”
Holiday

@[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."
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.
Wow, I can't believe that nobody has commented on this song yet... I

what, this site is weird. my comment is not even showing up. well any ways to try again, i really love this song and its so easy to relate to.
I love this song! I have liked Shakira since she first came out, singing in Spanish, and I have all her albums, and this is my favorite song. I think she sings a lot better in Spanish then in English, but I'm glad she's doin good in the US too.

Yeah when she is singing in Spanish it does sound better... but I suppose that anyone singing in their native tongue would sound better than singing in a language that is newer... when she first got big in the US she didn't even speak English that well, and she managed to make some great english songs... This was one of the first Spanish songs I was introduced to and it remains one of my favorite... but with so many good songs, it really is hard to pick...
