This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
My heart is pumping
For one reason.
Maybe it's my imagination,
But it's true.
It's all in your hands.
I no longer
Have this on my shoulders.
Oh no,
It must be something I said.
Love is another word for regret.
You know,
It must be part of my plan.
It's never too late to understand.
And I
Wanted it to be
Something more than
Just another run-around for me.
And even though
I'm glad that I'm finally free.
All that's left for my life
Is now up to me.
And I
Walk around for days
And I
Only see you in my dreams.
Wait for me like I've waited for you.
For one reason.
Maybe it's my imagination,
But it's true.
It's all in your hands.
I no longer
Have this on my shoulders.
Oh no,
It must be something I said.
Love is another word for regret.
You know,
It must be part of my plan.
It's never too late to understand.
And I
Wanted it to be
Something more than
Just another run-around for me.
And even though
I'm glad that I'm finally free.
All that's left for my life
Is now up to me.
And I
Walk around for days
And I
Only see you in my dreams.
Wait for me like I've waited for you.

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
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.
This seems to be a very reflective song. To me, it seems like it jumps through time though. It's almost as if it's going between the past and present in between verses and the chorus. That's what interests me in this song so.
'my heart is pumping for one reason maybe it's my imagination but it's true it's all in your hands i no longer have this on my shoulders'
I think the song starts out in the past. He's remembering something that happened. in a relationship some time ago, but as it turns out, it meants a lot to him. It seems as though there's been an incident. Something that he must have really messed up on, and it's now implied that it's it's no longer on his shoulders. Meaning what they're going to do about it is not up to him...the success of their relationship lies in her hands. In forgiving him for what he did, if you will
'oh no it must be something i said love is another word for regret you know it must be part of my plan it's never too late to understand'
Again, he's reflecting in the past. Remembering what he did. He's obviously said something that didn't go off to well with her. He really does love her and regrets what he did deeply. Maybe if he can convince her that he didn't mean it, then everything will be okay. I think most of us men have been down that road.
'and i wanted it to be something more than just another run-around for me and even though... i'm glad that i'm finally free all that's left for my life is now up to me'
This is where I think the song changes time. It's the present now and he's remembering how he really wanted to make this work. It was a very meaningful relationship to him, and maybe he's realized that recently (or maybe not-maybe he realized it shortly after the incident or even before). The run-around line implies that relationships before this were possibly not serious, or just not meaningful to him. He may be free from the problems that they had, but his success in life is still going to always come down to that same line. Is he going to be able to make it work? It's really up to him in the decisions he makes.
'and i walk around for days and i only see you in my dreams'
It's still the present, and he's realizing how much he can't stop thinking about her. But she's only in his dreams, a part of the past that he may never see again. But deep down inside, he really wants her back.
'wait for me like i've waited for you'
My favorite line in this song by far. This could almost be a decleration to himself. Maybe it is. What he means by this is that he really wants her to give him another chance, to 'wait for him'. Maybe for him to mature, like he's waited for her to forgive him. That seems to be another aspect of us men as well. Always being waited on to mature. But he's right, it takes both of them. They're waiting on each other.
That's how I see it anyway. My 2 cents.
"because nfg's from pa. and pa's motto (used to be on the license plates) is 'you've got a friend in pennsylvania'. isn't it awful?" ......NFG is from Coral Springs, Florida def not Pennsylvania but this is def one of their best songs
This song seems to be about transition in one's life when a relationship has ended or changed. What I'm curious about is the title, a girl in PA, or just the feeling of needing a friend and looking at an old license plate or bumper sticker? But it does seem to fit. In Pennsylvania, "back in the day", transients used to wander through frequently and people would feed them or leave doors unlocked so they could get a drink of cold water. You've got a friend in Pennsylvania was a motto used in ads and seen on license plates. Pennsylvania is changing. Maybe that's what its about? Things change.
@Salieri I live in PA and nowadays we lock doors, and have removed the "you've got a friend" phrase from the license plates :(
I think this song is about someone who doesn't know what they want. they don't want to lose what they have, but they don't want to lose out on other chances, either, so they ask them to stay. i can relate to this so well because this is exactly how i am... never sure you've got the best... til it's gone
Another great love sucks song. Love truly is another word for regret, and NFG has summed this up very well.
Its True!," love is another word for regret "
this is how im feeling right now "it's all in your hands. i no longer have this on my shoulders. " but at the same time "and i walk around for days and i only see you in my dreams.
wait for me like i've waited for you."
I think that this song is short but sweet. It's got strong lyrics but why the hell is it called u got a friend in pennsylvania????? Who knows!? :)
