This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
It must just be the colors
And the kids that keep me alive
'Cause I'd want to go right away
To a January night
I built a shack with an old friend
He was someone I could learn from
Someone I could become
Will you meet me down
On a sandy beach
We can roll up our jeans
So the tide won't get us below the knees
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
Slender fingers
Would hold me slender limbs would hold me
And you could say my name
Like you knew my name
I could stay here
Become someone different
I could stay here
Become someone better
It's so hard to go in the city
'Cause you want to say hello to everybody
It's so hard to go into the city
'Cause you want to say hey I love you to everybody
When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky
Now all we want to do is go to red places
And try to stay outta hell
It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
It must just be the colors
And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night.
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear

You are such a funny bear

And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is quite astounding. The song is generally about looking at the world around you and realizing that you want more from life. In looking around and seeing where you are and what you have become you realize the decisions and the people you have turned away from. Despite the fact that you know you can't go back and change the decisions you've made, there's still the longing and wondering of what could have been. Which is a tricky game to play, because life could have splintered off into so many directions based on the most minute of decisions and its impossible to know what you might have become if only you had ordered the onion rings instead of the fries. But Chan is doing the big picture remembering, recollecting youth and influential people in her life, to come to a certain idealism and gaurded hope that realizes there is a world of possibilities hidden in front of her. It speaks to the real power that meeting the right people or finding the right places can have in bringing out something different and better in another person. I like the song "Maybe Not" from the "You Are Free" album as a follow-up to this song - it is more overtly optimistic and centred on changing the future, rather than romanticizing the past.
You are beautiful
Dave Grohl:
"One of the most beautiful songs I've heard is Cat Power's The color and the kids from her album Moonpix. That song is so heart wrenchingly beautiful and romantic-it makes me want to kidnap her and run away and hide forever."
"When we were teenagers, we wanted to be the sky." Perfect.
This is astounding. It's strange, like I'd want this at my wedding or my funeral...it's sad, but something about it is really sweet and beautiful...I can hardly think of a better song than this. I went into Moon Pix convinced that Cross Bones Style would be my favorite, but Jeeeeesus I'm glad I found this song. It keeps me alive.
yellow hair, you are a funny bear yellow hair, such a funny bear
my favorite^ i love cat power
My brother, who owns moonpix, does not know this song. I do not understand how anyone could ever hear this and forget it. This song makes me feel like everything is alright, but that everything will never be as good as it was. No other song comforts me like this.
Tubesocks, I love your explanation.
I love this song. Simultaneously heartbreaking and peaceful... no one does it better.
Simple. Poetic. Meaningful. One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
This song is fantastic and gorgeous.
Really one of the most torturously beautiful songs I've ever heard. She's so good at that. This might be my second favorite, after Metal Heart.
intothegrinder2, I love that quote it's so sweet. AWWW.
Anyway, I always end up singing this song to myslef when I'm walking on the beach alone. It's soothing and peaceful.
