One time I tried to sing
About spring and a storm
But you know
How it goes
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah
Blah
All along
Won't you please stop complaining
I'm playing a song
But all the rain comes down the same
Falling to from where it came
On the ground then back around
Up into the sky
I wish you could have heard the music
When the clouds growled overhead
I finally felt enthusiastic
I finally felt alive
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah
Blah
So you said
Would it please you to listen
To thunder instead
Man the rain came down that day
And it drained my soul away
And I wondered why I even
Bothered to try
Mr. Moon?
Yeah?
Tell us about the sky.
The sky is deep and dark and eternally high
Many people think that's where you go when you die
Do you?
Well I think you return to obscure
Or wherever you were
Before you were
But I won't let you lose yourself in the rain
We have so much left to sing
There's a storm for every spring
All you see and you and me
Became from a star
You're a star
Yes you are
(Silent explosive and
Silent explosive and)
Create until nothing is left to create and
The universe bursts with an overworked sigh then
Pretend to pretend to re-crown the creation and
Sing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry and then
Over and over and over again and then
Over and over and
Never again
About spring and a storm
But you know
How it goes
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah
Blah
All along
Won't you please stop complaining
I'm playing a song
But all the rain comes down the same
Falling to from where it came
On the ground then back around
Up into the sky
I wish you could have heard the music
When the clouds growled overhead
I finally felt enthusiastic
I finally felt alive
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah
Blah
So you said
Would it please you to listen
To thunder instead
Man the rain came down that day
And it drained my soul away
And I wondered why I even
Bothered to try
Mr. Moon?
Yeah?
Tell us about the sky.
The sky is deep and dark and eternally high
Many people think that's where you go when you die
Do you?
Well I think you return to obscure
Or wherever you were
Before you were
But I won't let you lose yourself in the rain
We have so much left to sing
There's a storm for every spring
All you see and you and me
Became from a star
You're a star
Yes you are
(Silent explosive and
Silent explosive and)
Create until nothing is left to create and
The universe bursts with an overworked sigh then
Pretend to pretend to re-crown the creation and
Sing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry and then
Over and over and over again and then
Over and over and
Never again

All you see and you and me
Became from a star
This actually means how we are all made out of the same energy as stars. Niel Degrasse Tyson put it best, "The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.”
It's sort of a sweetness in this song that says you don't need religion to feel connected (I have no idea about Tally Hall's religious orientation, I personally am athiest). This trace backs to the line about the sky, 'many people think thats where we go when we die' 'i think we go to obscure or wherever we were before we were'.
This song is about the fact that the world can be harsh but it can be beautiful as well, and what makes this song wonderful is Tally Hall is saying, "Look what I'm doing! I'm writing this wonderful, childish song, I'm so happy despite it all!"
At least that's what I think.
One time I tried to sing
About spring and a storm
But you know
How it goes
I think that means they tried to think of something to write about, but it's all been done before...
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah
Blah
All along
Won't you please stop complaining
I'm playing a song
...but then he decides he will anyway, and picks a topic for the song...
But all the rain comes down the same
Falling to from where it came
On the ground then back around
Up into the sky
...he spontaneously goes on a rant about the water cycle...
I wish you could have heard the music
When the clouds growled overhead
I finally felt enthusiastic
I finally felt alive
...then says about how inspired he was when he wrote it...
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah
Blah
So you said
Would it please you to listen
To thunder instead
I think this bit is about people saying the song isn't original. So he askes them if he talks about thunder.
Man the rain came down that day
And it drained my soul away
And I wondered why I even
Bothered to try
Then he talks about losing inspiration after being critisized.
Mr. Moon?
Yeah?
Tell us about the sky.
The sky is deep and dark and eternally high
Many people think that's where you go when you die
Do you?
Well I think you return to obscure
Or wherever you were
Before you were
But I won't let you lose yourself in the rain
It seems he decides to change the subject, and puts foreward theories about life after death, while asking people not to think too hard about it all they'll go mad
We have so much left to sing
There's a storm for every spring
He says that despite being uninspired, he can still do a song about every subject
All you see and you and me
Became from a star
Then he goes back to the point about life and talks about how the entie solar system came from the sun.
You're a star
Yes you are
He then repeats this idea, so it sounds like he'ds saying it with double meaning, as in when somebody helps someone, and when they thank them, they say 'you're a star' sometimes.
(Silent explosive and
Silent explosive and)
This bit might mean how people have 'quiet anger', sometimes, and its repeated as this type of anger lasts a long time.
Create until nothing is left to create and
I think this means how humans will keep on advancing tecnology.
The universe bursts with an overworked sigh then
I think this is about how the universe will end in 'heat death', a 'sigh' rather than an explosion.
Pretend to pretend to re-crown the creation and
'recrowning' the 'creation' might mean doing songs that sound like other ones, or covering them.
Sing the same thing 'til the clouds start to cry and then
Over and over and over again and then
Over and over and
Never again
I think this last bit may be about pop songs being repetetive, and that life is like this too. The 'never again' is representing death.
Correct me if you have any better interpretations.
i like how it basically says that everything is a cycle and eventually we will all return to how we began but that there is someone there watching out for us and wont let us get lost.
my fav line is the end when its hard to understand but when you hear it is is basically restating that everything happens over and over until nothing is left to create and then there will be nothing.
the first couple times i heard it, i didn't make it much past the first verse because i got bored..... but the first time i heard the Mr. Moon part, i giggled to myself for maybe 5 minutes straight.
They are SUCH goofballs.
