Must Be Dreaming

Frou Frou

Pay close attention
Don't listen to me from now
George'll be flying this one
And it's anyone's guess how he does this
Is the right turn wrong
Universe taking me in full bloom
Fireball careful with that there
See what you made me do

I must be dreaming
Or we're onto something
I must be dreaming for
I don't fall in love lawlessly
I must be dreaming
Or pinch me to waking
So undeniably yours
As long as I'm losing it so completely

Incendiary glance
Be come and collide in me
Zoom in enhance hold
While I go helplessly sky high
Magic eye sugar rushing don't stop

I must be dreaming
Or we're onto something
Hey just what d'you make me for?
For I don't fall in love lawlessly
I must be dreaming
Or pinch me to waking
So undeniably yours
As long as I'm losing it so completely

Euphoria I can't take any more of
Euphoria I can't take any more of
Yeah I'm losing it

I must be dreaming
Or we're onto something
just what d'you make me for?
For I don't fall in love lawlessly
I must be dreaming
Or pinch me to waking
So undeniably yours
As long as I'm losing it so completely

I'm losing it (I'm losing it here)
I'm losing it (I'm losing it here)
I'm losing it (I'm losing it here)

I must be dreaming (I'm losing it here)
I must be dreaming (I'm losing it here)
I must be dreaming

    Rather than go into some detailed description of what the lyrics mean I will just say this. I love the song, and I think that Frou Frou is an excellent artist. The first time I heard this song was to an amv, and later that night I put the song into my winamp playlist so we could hear it while I was giving my girlfriend a massage. (great music to give a massage to by the way) It was a beautiful night as is every waking moment that I am with her. Anytime I listen to this song, along with many others, I think of her. Beautiful.

    Whenever I hear this song, I always think of a very sudden, unexpected love. What I mean is that the narrator has certain things she wants from her significant other/their relationship - and that is what she is used to. However, she suddenly finds herself being swept off her feet by someone who completely defies all of the standards she has set for herself, making her feel like the whole thing is like a dream because she never stepped outside the boundaries she set for herself boundaries — never fell “in love lawlessly”. She finds herself happy and wants to “undeniably” belong to her partner; however, there is always a lingering worry in the back of her mind that something will go awry.

    "Must be dreaming Or we're on to something Must be dreaming For, I don't fall in love lawlessly Must be dreaming Oh, pinch me to waking So undeniably yours As long as I'm losing it so completely"

    It shows, as dooreatoe already pointed, that the "love seems like a beautiful dream, but thankfully is a beautiful reality." However, the chorus expresses some sort of doubt, showing how she knows that she doesn't fall in love so lawlessly, so what is happening? She's so caught up in this surreal bliss that she turns to say, "As long as I'm losing it so completely," which in my mind translates to her saying that it may be a dream or it may be reality, but whatever. I'm yours and however long this wonderful phase lasts, take me.

    The constant references to flying shows her dream-like state and how her spirit is way up high in the clouds.

    "Sky high magic I sugar rush And don't stop"

    It's like she's in eternal happiness with this guy and everything is so beautiful. She thinks that she must be dreaming because she's in a euphoric state never felt before.

    The girlfriend comments were a bit harsh, but true. This song, as well as most other Frou Frou songs, is excellent in many different ways. I don't know much about them but I really love them.

    Even though the story was seemingly unnecessary, the harsh, rude comments did not belong either, making the authors of those hypocrites And there was nothing "sickly" about what he said, unless you're not into human/human contact.

    I defend the first comment because if you read into it a bit, it represents the song perfectly.

    "Must be dreaming Or we're on to something Must be dreaming For, I don't fall in love lawlessly Must be dreaming Oh, pinch me to waking So undeniably yours As long as I'm losing it so completely "

    Michi apparently loves this girl completely. She's "undeniably" his, and he is "undeniably" hers. The love seems like a beautiful dream, but thankfully is a beautiful reality.

    Wonderful song.

    Her love is so wonderful either it's a dream or she's onto something great. Gosh, what's not to love about Frou Frou?

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Punchline
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.
