This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I was pretending to be floating strong
But I was sinking
In to still water
Eyes closed
All of the rest will flow
Then out of darkness I found I could still feel
Something good
Out of the woods
Eyes closed
All of the rest will flow
One simple thing that I never could see
But now I know
All of the rest will flow
Stay with me my angel I found you
Now I don't feel low
All of the rest will flow
Eyes closed
All of the rest will flow
But I was sinking
In to still water
Eyes closed
All of the rest will flow
Then out of darkness I found I could still feel
Something good
Out of the woods
Eyes closed
All of the rest will flow
One simple thing that I never could see
But now I know
All of the rest will flow
Stay with me my angel I found you
Now I don't feel low
All of the rest will flow
Eyes closed
All of the rest will flow

@[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."

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
This one pretty much explains itself:
It's about someone who pretends to not have a care in the world, but is actually suffering on the inside for whatever reason.
"Stay with me my angel I found you Now I don't feel low All of the rest will flow"
This is the part where the person has found something to makes him happy again and as long as he does not lose it he can withstand anything that threatens him.
One of PT's rare happy songs. It seems pretty self explanatory.
Yes. One of the rare happy songs by Porcu... Both the lyrics & the melody - which is a bit banal, thus not very Porcupine like. But it's cool, cuz it ,points out on a wide range of experimentations and a variety of musical approaches. Of course, that it's still brilliant none the less. I love the strings & bass. Happy songs are good for the ear :) Though to me it sounds more of the Stupid Dream material rather than that of Lightbulb Sun. Actually, this is one of those PT songs where I don't get this "old" European post-holocaust like vibe from which I ususally do and that I personally seem to feel sometimes when listening to this awsome band's more melancholy pieces (especially when it comes to the cover arts, not just the music itself). This is why I actually believe Steven Wilson is so intrigued by Poland (where they perform a lot and recorded Warszawa) as well as Israel (where he lived, dated an Israeli girl & colloborated with Aviv Geffen on Blackfield along other local musician here in the holy land).
The lyrics might be a bit banal if you don't think of this song as a part of a whole (the whole being lightbulb sun).. but the melody banal? did you pay attention to the violins in the back? they're just.. oh so powerful.
Honestly, does Porcupine Tree even need a defined style? That's their whole point. They can do whatever they feel is beautiful.
I think one of the most beautiful PT songs. The strings are brilliant, and happy...and the end is.. well, it's pretty. Hah.
It's about illusions of security, and it's about dependency as well.
Putting up a tough exterior but really be weak inside, and needing someone.
I really love the line 'Now I don't feel low' because it definitely seems to have a connection to the song 'Feel So Low' also from Lightbulb Sun. But I'm not sure if Steven Wilson put it there on purpose so that the album is tied together better, or if it was accidental.

Yeah, he did it on purpose. So when the album is viewed as a whole, this track becomes really ironic and somewhat tragic.
I agree with Dertt. It's Steven Wilson for Christ's sake. He does almost everything on purpose. I've been into this band for years and they always have a great 'bigger picture' to everything to do in relation to a work.<br />
Simple melody at its best. Sometimes not making a song compliated works. It has worked here big time. In India here they are not like mainstream, and i like it.
Guy pretends he doesn't need anyone...
Guy is still lonely and broken inside...
Guy meets his "angel" and everything else just flows right in his life.
Great song, other have commented on the melody, but I'll repeat- it's simple, brilliant, and cheery. Sound-wise, the slow crescendo throughout the song give this growing feeling of exhilaration...great stuff.
