She Will Have Her Way

Neil Finn

I might be old but I'm someone new she said
I'm so sore that I could cry always
In the night lay your tired arms

She will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her

She's the life I've been frightened of seems like
Deathly silence and especially the dark
Feels like I am heavy and my spirit has died

She will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her
She will have her way
One day I will come back

Still no end in sight
Though I travel far and wide
A dying man is doing time
Thinker, soldier terrified

And she will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her
She will have her way
One day I will come back

She will have her way
When the time has gone away
She will have her way
She will have her way
But not before time
She will have her way

    I love this song. A friend gave it to me and I really liked it, but then I heard it on the show 'Sports Night' as the unofficial theme for Dana and Casey's relationship and I just adored it. It's beautiful, even though I don't understand all of it (such as "thinker, soldier terrified"). Gorgeous melody and I can feel his helplessness when faced with this girl, whoever she is!

    Great song - Neil Finn is a great Kiwi songwriter - Love the video clip - The intro sounds like Bee Gee's You Win Again and from it has a similar meaning

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

Zombie
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference. "Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken - Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over" Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead. "But you see it's not me It's not my family" References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
