Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more

Listen to my heart, can you hear? It sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you, until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song, and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you
(I love you) until the end (until the end) of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dying day
Oh, come what may
Come what may
I will love you
I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dying day

    This song...

    No, this musical film in general, it means so much to me.

    The first time I saw it I was at my friend's girlfriend's house. He and his girlfriend wanted to show me this movie, so the four of us watched it and it was absolutely brilliant. Elephant Love Medley and Your Song are great, but this one triumphs. This is so perfect, it encapsulates love so incredibly well.

    You never know what love feels like until you actually experience the emotion, and even though it's so wild, it's also the most natural feeling in the world. Love grows and makes life worthwhile. It's perfect.

    And so, every time I hear this song (specifically, the Original Film Version from the second soundtrack), I think fondly on the endless days that I spent with who was once my biggest love. Even now, after we've parted ways and memories of her seem bitter, angry, or void of emotion altogether, I can listen to this and almost re-create what it felt like to love someone so passionately.

    If you look at the lyrics.. some of the lines are actually really corny and trite "seasons may change winter to spring".. how un-creative is that? ..But then you hear it with the music.... and you think, wow.

    this song just makes you realise there is more out there then you have or know, just keep searching, and the film is absolutely brilliant, if anastasia can slag off the singing she is either deaf, or just plain stupid

    This song makes me really teary because it reminds me of when satine dies at the end of "spectacular spectacular".

    I agree with most of the above, its a great film n baz is such a brilliant director! ITs so colourful and just listening to the lyrics makes me think about how special the film is! Yeh the lyrics are kinda corny but it all seems to fit together and ewan n nicole make THE perfect couple. My mum even reckons she fell in love with him she thinks the cheminstry is too real lol. :D

    the chemistry between them seemed very real! I think there was AWESOME acting in this movie. Some people think its crap...and maybe the plot was a little predictable but it was all okay because they added music. I like the fact that they used songs that were already made. They put a whole new meaning to them. They found songs to potray the meaning insted of writing songs to fit the movie. I dont know some people say they're bitters..I say they're great

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.

Mountain Song
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."
