Lyrics for Landing in London as interpreted by mjmacdon

Landing in London Lyrics
I woke up today in London
As the plane was touching down
And all I could think about was Monday
Maybe I’d be back around
If this keeps me way much longer
I don’t know what I would do
You got to understand it’s a hard life,
that I’m going through

And when the night falls around me
And I don’t think I’ll make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you

L A is getting kind of crazy
And New York is getting kind of cold
I keep my head from getting lazy
I just can’t wait to get back home

And all these days I spend away
Ill make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it’s all to much to bear

And when the night falls around me
And I don’t think I’ll make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you

And all these days I spend away
Ill make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it’s all to much to bear

And when the night falls around me
And I don’t think I’ll make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way

All I think about is you

Such a great featuring Bob Seger...has a very similar theme to Here by Me. (deep love relationship that is spent being away from her because he is on the road)

I almost forgot...this is Brad's favorite song on the CD...look for it to be a single eventually. (It will likely have the same huge success has here without you....save the date...I call it now...LOL)

Maybe Bob Seger just makes me think of "Turn the Page," but I see a lot of similarities with this song and that one.

The feeling to me is the same. It's about being on the road and travelling and surviving, and being alone. Where you make a living and in doing so, leave your loved one behind.

I always get this imagery, of being somewhere far away in such a cold place, with the wind blowing against your hair, your hands tucked in your coat pockets, and taking a stroll and just thinking.

How this life is so much a place we don't fit in sometimes. Even if there was a way to see your family or loved ones across the globe in an instant, well I wish it wasn't fiction.

We all work so hard in this life. We all try to be someone. And it gets incredibly difficult just being here at times. How we all need that someone we can always think about, remember, and pull us through those tough times.

I hope that each and every one of you has that someone. Or if not, I hope you will.

Sometimes the sufferring involved with loneliness is merely just the fact that you don't have someone that thinks of you. That you don't have someone that is watching over you.

To be erased is the worse thing to me.

This song does remind me a little of "Turn the Page", because in "Turn the Page" it sounds like Bob Seger is travelling through the desert (at least it reminds me of that), while this song does the same thing.

The song also reminds me a liitle of "Like a Rock", because the beginning has a little bit of a pickup truck feeling as well

Chino69, your words ring so true. This song, to me is about a guy that has loosing someone, because he has to be gone all the time. The imagry of this song is beautiful, and it really touches ones soul. It is a reflection of what I am going through right now, and how I am loosing everything that is important, but my pride wont let me budge.

I dont want to be erased either.....

this song is about his relationship with a loved one, and either they just broke up, or one has left away for quite some time.

It makes so much sense to myself... the life on the road is lonely, and I cannot describe how tough it get a times... I've seen so many bands and artist suffer under the presure they feel every single day, and how the road never seems to bring you home. The only reason one can remain sane is when they have someone they love so much, one that can be their light through the night...

This song reminds me quite a bit of Turn The Page, however I feel that Brad was a bit confused with this song. Did he want to write...
1. A Ballad?
2. A rock hit?
3. A love song
4. A song about travelling
5. A remake of "Turn The Page"?

so right now, this is 100%wrong, but tonight, I'm dedicating this song to my best friend's boyfriend. I know that you may read this here sometime soon.. maybe within this week, but for some reason.. All I can think about is you. I don't know why.. but I guess it's just that, I see you and her so happy.. and I can't help but ot think "I had that.. and I just let it go without thinking it through..." *sigh*

Call me if and when you get this...

When I hear this song I think of a movie I saw recently and how applicable it would be to what these guys go through... Jarhead.
Picture a soldier out in the desert (or wherever) who is struggling to stay afloat mentally and thinking about the girl at home whom he loves so much...

I realize that he's probably talking about being on the road away from the one he loves, but I think this is the perfect long distance relationship song. Even though it says "I just can't wait to get back home" -- that could be interpreted (to me) as "home" being when you're with the one you love. My favorite lines are
And when the night falls around me
And I don’t think I’ll make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you

And all these days I spend away
Ill make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it’s all to much to bear

It makes me think of my boyfriend (long distance relationship) and how sometimes, it's really hard to be apart. You just don't think you'll last the night when it's been so long since you've seen them. But just knowing how strong your love is and that it can "hold you up" makes it better. And the "and all these days I spend away, I'll make up for this I swear" just means, to me, that (obviously) every moment we spend away from each other, we'll make up for when we're together. We won't have lost time because we treasure every second we're together.

i love this song, it's so beautiful.

to me it's about being far away from home, from the people you really care about, and you miss them and want them to know you love them. (well, i guess it's about the lover). yeah it's pretty obvious it's about being on the road, i guess brad wrote it from self-experience.
but i think it's something many ppl can relate to.

The song is great, Brad and Bob's voices really blended well together. So well, that at times you couldn't tell that two people were singing. I wish Seger would have gotten a little more solo time, as his voice is perfect for this song.

As far as the meaning, it is about someone who spends a lot of time on the road, away from home. They miss their family, and want so badly to see them and spend time with them. I think this song perfectly describes what many truck drivers go through.

I'd like to see what it would sound like with Bob Seger doing it solo. If he were to sing it with the same emotion that he did here, then it would have the potential to be even better than the original.

I got married recently, to the love of my life. I can't breathe with out her. She is my soul, my life, and my one and only. I have also had to go out of town for work every week for the last 6 months. I feel that i cheat her time together, but she understands that sometimes you have to take your licks before you are able to get that big corner office.

This song reminds me of her so much. I feel that this is how my life is right now. So i hope that one day i can make up all this time that i missed with here.

I love you Kim, and you will allways be the star i look to in the night's sky to remind me of home.

Being on the road, and living so far from home get's to you sometimes. This song reminds me of work and how the hours i work and the time i have to spend away from people i love hurts me.

First time I heard this song was at their concert. When Bob Seger walked out the guys standing in front of us had a "Fangirl" episode and I thought they were going to cry lmao
Amazing song XD
