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.
Darling
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?
You can't see my eyes
They don't see yours
They don't see yours
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?
When was it over?
It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
It's the quiet of the storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear
Drops to the ground in silence
When my love is near
When was it
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?
You can't see my eyes
They don't see yours
They don't see yours
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?
When was it over?
It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
It's the quiet of the storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear
Drops to the ground in silence
When my love is near
When was it
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when did you fall?
When was it over?
Darling, when
When did you fall?
When was it over?

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."

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I absolutely adore this song!! It's been one of my favorites for ages, I love the images I have in my mind whenever I listen to it. Waterfalls, rain, light foliage, ponds, elaborate architecture, flowing silk... raindrops.
Her voice is so perfect for this song, too. I love how forlorn and yet determined she sounds.
i first listened to this song shortly after i ended a really long/close relationship. i was immediately drawn to it because i could relate the lyrics to myself despite the actual meaning.
Delerium once again can produce absolutely original and haunting lyrics.
It's the rain that I hear coming Not a stranger, not a ghost The quiet of a storm approaching That I fear the most
Whatever the singer is feeling is already well known to her. It is NOT (1) a feeling she has seen in others but never experienced (not a stranger) or (2) a feeling that has abandoned her only to come back again (not a ghost). I believe that this song is reflective, not so much about mourning or sadness. It is pondering the past and she has a feeling of unease about whatever has happened.
This song is haunting, hypnotic, strange, sensible, original, powerful, enigmatic, sad, relaxing, addictive, mysterious, beautiful, relatable, stunning... the more i listen to it, the more it touches my heart. The transition from minor to Major chord between each verse and the chorus is amazing. And the lyrics ..... the voice......... "Darling, When did we fall ? When was it over ?"
What a masterpiece!
This song is soft and pretty and so true. "I suppose it is the price of falling in love" is a great line.
this song is so sad and beautiful. I've been listening to it all day. Everyone go download (erm... BUY) this right now.
i love this song!!! its so pretty and its so relaxing...sigh....
I bet I'm the only guy that likes this song. Even so, I was introduced to it by my girlfriend. :P
I'm a long time fan of delerium so I found this song on my own.
Nah this song is great, for anyone who takes the time to listen and enjoy. I'm a guy too :P.
nah dude, a lot of guys like this song -- especially the Deep Dish Gladiator Remix that's in a lot of progressive house/trance dj mixes. ;)
It's best when you listen to it when it's raining so lightly out that it almost looks like snow and you go outside and you just kinda dance in the rain.
