This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Got a brand new roof above my head
All the empty boxes thrown away
I rearranged the place a hundred times today
But the ordering of objects couldn't hide whats missing
All these things, should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things, should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again
Got myself a bottle of red wine
Got a night with nothing else to do
I think I might know what I really want
But is a brighter discontent the best that I can hope to find
Got a big black television set
Now I can watch just what I want
But I'm here staring up at pictures on the wall
Where are you, you're still stuck inside 'em all
All these things, should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things, should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again
But love is not these belongings and surroundings
Though theres meaning in the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I ever heard
Got a desk, I'll write myself a note
Pretending that it came from you
On hotel stationary, from the time we first met
Whatever I can do, 'cause I won't throw my hands up yet
Chorus
But love is not these belongings that surround you
Though theres meaning in the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I never heard
But I'll be fine if I don't look around me that much for whats gone
If only I could wait here just a little while and let time pass in my room
All the empty boxes thrown away
I rearranged the place a hundred times today
But the ordering of objects couldn't hide whats missing
All these things, should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things, should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again
Got myself a bottle of red wine
Got a night with nothing else to do
I think I might know what I really want
But is a brighter discontent the best that I can hope to find
Got a big black television set
Now I can watch just what I want
But I'm here staring up at pictures on the wall
Where are you, you're still stuck inside 'em all
All these things, should make me happy
Make me happy to be home again
All these things, should make me happy
Make me happy to be alone again
But love is not these belongings and surroundings
Though theres meaning in the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I ever heard
Got a desk, I'll write myself a note
Pretending that it came from you
On hotel stationary, from the time we first met
Whatever I can do, 'cause I won't throw my hands up yet
Chorus
But love is not these belongings that surround you
Though theres meaning in the memories they hold
A breaking heart in an empty apartment
Was the loudest sound I never heard
But I'll be fine if I don't look around me that much for whats gone
If only I could wait here just a little while and let time pass in my room

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."

This was featured on the season finale of Nip/Tuck and I couldn't believe it! I'm so excited that they'll finally get the recognition they deserve. :)

This song is amazing......though i have to say i did see it on Nip Tuck, which is the best damn television show ever. As soon as the song started i ran to grab a pencil on jot down some of the lyrics so i could look it up. AMAZING
beautiful and amazing.. some of the truest lyrics i've ever heard:
But love is not these belongings that surround you Though theres meaning in the memories they hold A breaking heart in an empty apartment Was the loudest sound I never heard
and nip/tuck is the best show on tv. :)
if you like this song you really ought to buy Declare A New State...the album it's on. The album as a whole is every bit as amazing as this individual song. How this album isn't somewhere on every single best of '06 list is a complete mystery to me.
until reading the lyrics right now, i thought the last line of the second set of verses was "Where are you, you're still stuck inside the mall"... the real lyrics make a lot more sense. lol
My friend was looking up the postal serivce on her limewire and she typoed it so it said 'the posttal service'and it gave this song, so she told me and laughed about how she misspelled it.
I downloaded it and now i love them so much haha.
I loved this song so much at one point; i hate it now because it perfectly describes where im at right now. My [ex]boyfriend and i went out for a year and a half and the breakup was messy. Im moving out of state 1000 miles away (for college) and this song just makes me think that things WONT be okay.
"Got a brand new roof above my head All the empty boxes thrown away I rearranged the place a hundred times today But the ordering of objects couldn't hide whats missing"----Ugh, not excited about moving now...
"All these things, should make me happy Make me happy to be home again All these things, should make me happy Make me happy to be alone again"---SHOULD but they probably wont :(
"I think I might know what I really want But is a brighter discontent the best that I can hope to find... I'm here staring up at pictures on the wall Where are you, you're still stuck inside 'em all"--- i got rid of all our pictures :/
"But love is not these belongings that surround you Though theres meaning in the memories they hold A breaking heart in an empty apartment"-- Yes, i shall be living in my own apartment as well, first time out on my own :o[
"I'll be fine if I don't look around me that much for whats gone If only I could wait here just a little while and let time pass in my room "--- If only.....
It should be "Love is not these belongings that surround me" not surroundings. It's ". . .was the loudest sound I never heard" not ever heard. It's "I'll be fine if I don't look around me now, too much for whats gone" not that much for whats gone And finally, it's "If only I can stay hear just a little while - - and let time pass in my room" not If only I could wait here.
I think thats all the errors
This song depresses me a bit. But it's very good and it strikes your head with a combination of sentimentalism and beauty.
