This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Well, it looks like five thousand miles broke the camel's back
But it's not as though i had a plan to win you back
Because i don't know what i want
But at least i know that much
Now I'm afraid love came right up
And it slapped me in the face, but i did not know
'Cause love is different than you'd think
It's never in a song or on a TV screen
And love is harder than a word
Said at the right time and everything's alright
Love is different than you think
So I won't expect a postcard from Trafalgar Square
But I'd be lying if i said I didn't care
Because you can't just turn it off
And put a blindfold on your heart
But i'm off to a good start
A continent away, but i do not know
But maybe you're the dream i'm waking from
'Cause I see you everywhere I go
Darlin' you are such a mystery to me, you know
But it's not as though i had a plan to win you back
Because i don't know what i want
But at least i know that much
Now I'm afraid love came right up
And it slapped me in the face, but i did not know
'Cause love is different than you'd think
It's never in a song or on a TV screen
And love is harder than a word
Said at the right time and everything's alright
Love is different than you think
So I won't expect a postcard from Trafalgar Square
But I'd be lying if i said I didn't care
Because you can't just turn it off
And put a blindfold on your heart
But i'm off to a good start
A continent away, but i do not know
But maybe you're the dream i'm waking from
'Cause I see you everywhere I go
Darlin' you are such a mystery to me, you know

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
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.
It's about the grayer areas of love. We expect love to be manifest itself in certain ways, as exhibited to us by the media, magazines, books. There's a guy who obviously cares about this girl, but something feels off in him. He's not sure if it's b/c he's not completely in love with her or because he's realizing that the way he's feeling IS actually how love is supposed to feel. Anyway, he's torn so even though he wants to talk to her, get the postcard from Trafalgar Square, he also doesn't have some grand plan to "win [her] back". So he feels his confusion and projects that onto her, saying the she is "a mystery to me." what a lovely, complex song.
it's complexed by the fact that he's a married Christian singing probably to God personified by romance. The band is Caedmon's call, Caedmon, being a monk with no music abilities a long time ago, called to write some of the most amazing songs of his time. The lead is son of a prominent mega-church in Houston.
This song is really incredible to me. I'm going through this right now with the love of/in my life, where she's questioning her feelings. She knows she loves me, but she can't reconcile her feelings of confusion. She's asked me several times if this is what it's supposed to feel like, and I'm so happy to have found this song, because hopefully it will help her see that nothing's gonna feel perfect all the time. No one's happy all the time. We go out looking for love, expecting it to be this perfect, comfortable thing, until you really find it, and you realize that it's so complex. It scares you, but comforts you; it confuses you, but gives you clarity; it upsets you, but it makes you happy. Great song!
I appreciate your comment, even though it's two and a half years since you wrote it. I'm the girl on the other side, and this song is also comforting to me for the same reasons. In many ways, I'm finding that love is deciding to overcome your own doubts and reach out to someone, committing to them when it's hard, not because they are difficult to love, but because it is difficult to LOVE--to overcome one's own inconstancy in order to extend unconditional support.
I think he's possibly talking about a long-distance relationship he was in at the time, and the difficulties which are associated with that type of relationship.
I've been in a few of them, so I can relate. At the time I first started listening to the CD that this song is off of (Long Line of Leavers), I was in a very serious long-distance relationship with someone, so I could really relate with a lot of what (I thought) he was going through at the time.
I think the notion of a possible long-distance relationship is further evidenced by a few other songs on this same CD, namley 'Can't Lose You', 'What You Want', and Mistake of My Life'.
But these are all great songs though, and brought me a lot of inner strength, healing, and catharsis (cathartic healing) during a relationship which she and I both knew would have been very difficult to have sustained at the time, due to several personal factors.
