This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I got a little bird
I'm gonna take her home
Put her in a cage
And disconnect the phone
If you give me a look
I'm gonna get the book
I'm gonna preach the word
I want to preach to birds
As I walk the floor
Yeah this I know
When I get you home
This is how it goes
I got nothing to lose
I'll never let you go
I'm gonna take her home
Put her in a cage
And disconnect the phone
If you give me a look
I'm gonna get the book
I'm gonna preach the word
I want to preach to birds
As I walk the floor
Yeah this I know
When I get you home
This is how it goes
I got nothing to lose
I'll never let you go

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”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
It's about a controlling boyfriend. she's his bird and he's caging her up for his own.
Yeah, St. Francis of Assisi preached to birds, look it up if you want (it might be spelled "Assissi"). He had nothing to lose because he had already commited himself to poverty before he started talking to animals. It sort of contradicts Shameless' idea though, so the rest of the song doesn't make any sense now.
I think it does... He's kidnapping a girl who won't like him, and who he can't have any other way. When she's there, if she doesn't play along, he's going to teach her a lesson. He has nothing good in his life besides her, so he's willing to chance taking her, because he can't go without her.
i think shameless hit the nail on the head with that one. this is my single favourite song by The White Stripes...so good :D
anyone else notice how this riff is basically the "Death Letter" riff backward? Fast notes before three slow ones...and "Death Letter" is three slow notes before fast ones
yea i noticed that too....weerd umm i agree with wats already been said im takin u and if u dont like it, tough he really wants this girl, and is doing everything in his power to keep her
jack said live that this song was about st. frances hmm...
yea i just barely remember St. Francis from church its slipped my mind by now im gonna have to talk to my friend Molly about this....hmmm
out of every song with "little" in the title on each album, this definatly the best also around 2 minutes into the song meg and white do thier signature "gutiar riff vs. drum banging" where they both get faster and faster thrn finally fall back into the orignal pace and nicely spotted weezday with this and death letter both songs seemed the same to me but i just thought it was the 12 bar blues niceee and amazing song
o srry i meant jack and meg not white and meg
