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.

Holiday

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Look, I lit my self on fire!
NOTHING BUT A WAIST OF TIME !!!!!!!!!!
waste i am pretty sure that you don't mean as in the circumference of the area just below your belly (:
these guys are a bunch of arse raping dog fucking losers th@ masterbate every night over their own mothers.Their songs have no fucking meaning the only vibe i get are "do you want to fuck me in the arse". Are all you other mother fuckers with me!?!?!
ew..that's really gross..uhg
Look if you don't like a band that's great and that's your choice but you don't have to go making fun and saying bad things about them! There are people that do like them and you gotta deal with it and there will always be people that do! We don't go making fun of the groups you like! So grow up and stop posting stupid comments like this!
agreed
I just love how Honey Eisen said "There (wrong: they're by the way) an amazing band." Wrong they're not a band. Bands have real musical talent and ability, not just a voice and a sexy body. Yeah right. Band.
Never had much respect for BSB - it's pretty much just an orchestrated act, it's arbitrary who sings the song since they don't write them anyway. Still, this one's pretty freakin catchy, and I'm not gonna lie...it's in my MP3 collection.
I like this song. I don't care if liking the Backstreet Boys makes me a geek, I'm fine with that. But to remark on some of the things said earlier, I have to agree that they are not a band. They are a 'boy band'. That should explain it all for you. However, they actually can play instruments..except for Brian, but we forgive him. They just don't play them on their cd's. Except for their most recient one. I think Kevin plays the piano on that one.
okay, well this is one of their better songs, and frankly, id just the hell up cuz if u really new them, like i no kevin, u fuckin wouldnt think that
people are so hateful of music they dont like and people they dont know
i say chill out, descent beat, fun to listen to, leave it at that
Yea, why do people come on here to bash other artists. Go support someone you like then. Sheesh.'
This song is a classic. So fun to dance to, and pump it up. Has a "Thriller" feel to me. ;)
