This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams came true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you will only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
That thrills and delights me
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams came true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you will only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

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.
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."
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.
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.
i don't know why people have to act like they know everything and burst people's bubbles. TONS of musicians do other peoples music. it's part of the biz. blah...sorry i had to say something b/c people are making nice comments..then some person has to come in here and say something rude to them b/c she doesnt "own" the song...who gives a crap. she does a great job with this song. and thats all there is to it.
I LOVE this song! I'm a singer myself, and this song is tons of fun to sing. It's upbeat, sweet, and romantic. Norah Jones has a way with words and, aside from "Don't Know Why", this is my favorite of all of her work. BUY HER CD! It's fantabulous!
this song is beautiful! its abosolutely wonderful! It's so graceful and the words are soothing and they very romantic! I Love it ! Buy the CD if you haven't !!
really cool song. but all of Norah's songs are cool. this one specific because it's so romantic and sweet and ... well, just listen to it ;)
Such a sweet song. Something I would like to dance to with the one I love.
.. again, not 'norah's song'.. it's a glenn miller cover.
I love this song. She did such a good job on this song. Her voice is so beautiful. Norah Jones is going to be around for quite awhile. I just know it.
what a beautiful song.. i love having that feeling where everything is new..and the nearness of that special person just gives you an amazing feeling inside..there's no other word to describe that feeling
For the record, the song was written by Hoagy Carmichael (who wrote Stardust and that song you always play on the piano, Heart and Soul, among many others). Ned Washington just did the lyrics. Glenn Miller and Sinatra just made it famous.
Covering songs and making them you own is an established tradition in jazz.
And thank God for tradition. i remember this from one of my father's reel to reel tapes. Faint memory, but thank you Norah for a beautiful song. Love the sound of a woman in love.
