Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I proposed to my wife using this song. That's what it means to me.
This song is pretty cool, I love the man with lonely eyes line...
@Furioku how ya doin 16 years later
I love this song, it's awesome! Theres a pretty good cover out by the Goo Goo Dolls, but I like this one more. As for the Jesus theory, it works, but I don't think thats what they meant it to be. It was written by Roger Hodgeson when hw was a teenager, and I'm guessing its about wantong a girl, not about Jesus... but I could be wrong.
Kevin, the Goo Goo Dolls formed in the mid 80s, and "Give a Little Bit" made its first apperance on the 1977 CD, Even in the Quietest of Moments, by Supertramp. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself. Great song.
Can't have been the 1977 CD since CDs did not exist in 1977 ;)
FreddieIsMyIdol is right, I\'ve got the original record in my hands right now, it\'s from \'77, and the Goo Goo Dolls formed in \'85. (I\'ve actually double checked it). So, I guess Kevin thinks that the Goo Goo Dolls did a better job then Supertramp. I must say, personaly, I like the Supertramp version better.
Take a chance on someone, they may turn out to be the one for you.
I've always wanted to know the meaning of this song, as I have plans to use an intrumental version to use when i get married. I just wanted to make sure before it gets used the song doesnt mean something strange... LOL..
Malkom, that's awesome. Congrats. I used to listen to these guys in the car with my mom when I was younger.
My favorite song by "Supertramp"! It's about a man who's in love with girl! He's shy to tell her and he's not sure if she has the same feelings for him back!
The man with lonley eyes is none other than Jesus. Look at any pictures of him(I KNOW it's not him) but that's the way He's depicted in all renditions. Very good song!
