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.
Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little darling, the smile's returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun
It's all right
It's all right
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little darling, the smile's returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun
It's all right
It's all right

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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."

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,

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.
This song is nothing but comfort for me. It was the first song I ever heard, my mom would sing it to me when I had a bad dream, and the night my dad moved out when my parent's divorce was final, I listened to this on the cassette player. Now it's one of my recovery from depression songs. I'm not fully recovered, in fact I just started treatment, but this song makes me smile with the assurance that in my life the sun will come. It seems like when I'm about to fall apart, The Beatles have a song that saves me!
Awwww :') How sweet! And yes, music has saved me as well.<br /> Not only from the world, but from myself.
My mother just passed away this Sunday and this was the last song I played for her. To me it symbolized her battle with cancer; the cold winter was the battle, but the sun was god coming for her to take away all the pain and that everything was going to be alright.

I don't think this song is about summer. It's about being happy. Being sad (long cold lonely winter) and then being happy again (here comes the sun). A very nice tune. Love it, one of my fav from George.
And since it's a hit tonight in Brazil, someone's got some big plans. Toss in some Nickelback's Something In Your Mouth and all shall be right with the world! Goodnight:D
I love this song, it always makes me feel happy! George Harrison decided not to attend a meeting with Apple and went to Eric Claptons' house. While there he walked around the garden with one of Claptons' guitars and wrote a love song. It is about tomorrow, and the optimism it brings. It has no underlying negativity, or cryptic ideologies. It gives you a sense of something that is coming, something so clear and beneficial. Happiness. It is refreshing; a cold sunny morning.
When George wrote this song, I think what he was trying to say that every new day brings a chance to start all over and forget the mistakes you made in the past, and that anyone has this opportunity. George talks about winter and the cold and it seems to me that those represent the hardships that he's ready to leave behind to start a new
My take on these lyrics is that is it a reflection on a depressive episode that was lifting and the brighter clearer future is in sight.
I can't stop listening to this song lately.
I am going through a huge spiritual awakening. After years of addiction, self will and turning my back on God, I have finally let him into my life. And He is working miracles.
This song captures it all for me. After that long, cold, dark spiritual winter - the sun (Son?) is finally peeking through. I feel that ice is slowly melting. It feels like years since it's been here. The warmth, the hope, the optimism - all returning like Spring after a cold winter. After all the years of worry, anxiety, self-will, resentment, anger, fear - I have turned my life over to God. And - like George Harrison said - I finally feel like "it's allright".

@Rebirth120505 you do know it's about them coming down off trips ?
George was getting sick of the music business. it had lost its fun with everyone telling him to "play this, sign this, do this." he wanted a break, so he went to his good friend eric clapton's house to relax. he borrowed one of erics acoustic guitars and went for a walk in the garden. he strummed a chord, looked up into the sky just as a cloud passed away from the sun, and said to the sun "here comes the sun and its alright."
I know this song is about all the great things everyone else has mentioned... but ever since my daughter was born, I have automatically always personally thought of this song being about her. Her smile is perfection and I feel like I am looking at the sun whenever I see her little face light up.
<3 !
This song reminds me of my friends' mom, Angie. She LOVED this song. When she passed away a little over a year ago, it was one of the hardest things in life for me. First funeral I've ever been to. They also played this at her funeral. Even though it makes sad to know she's gone, but I'll definitely never forget her. Now, I think of it in a good way. Remind myself of all the memories I have of her. It brings me to tears, because I can still hear her voice, her laugh. They're happy tears, though. She was such a beautiful woman. I miss seeing her little short self, hearing her jokes, seeing her smile, & even saying my name. I can still hear it. I just know she's in a better place jamming out with some of The Beatles, living the dream. :) So, R.I.P. Angelia Cooper. Love & miss you. Gone but never forgotten. You'll forever be my always.
i love this song, it has the same meaning as " i can see clearly now" it simplizes the chance to make new and start over.. like your worries have passed over head and the sun is coming out to dry up all those tears,,, i LOVE THIS SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
