Rock Steady

Whispers

Rock

I looked at you
You stole my heart
You were all that I anticipated
I wanted you
Every part
But I knew that love would be complicated

I began to touch
But you wouldn't let it
It never seemed to be the right time
I started to give up
Down to the limit
And then you changed your mind, oh

And we begin to rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
And we begin to rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn

Rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
Rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn

You looked at me to my surprise
You were through anticipating
I should have known
It was in your eyes
That you were gettin' tired of waiting

You wanted me so much
But I didn't get it
How could a fellow be so blind?
I started to give up
But love wouldn't let it
Then you walked into my life

And we begin to rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
And we begin to rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn

Rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long (all night long)
Rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn

Rock
Steady, baby
Rock steady, baby
Ooh rock, rock
Steady, baby
Rock steady, baby

Rock
Ooh, rock, rock

You wanted me so much
But I didn't get it
How could a fellow be so blind?
I started to give up
But love wouldn't let it
Then you walked into my life, ohh

And we begin to rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long
And we begin to rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn

Rock steady
Steady rockin' all night long (all night long)
Rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn

Everybody, rock (steady rock) steady (s-s-s-steady rock)
Steady rockin' all night long
(Everybody's steady rockin')
Rock steady
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn
Rockin' 'til the break of dawn

(Everybody's steady rockin')

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
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."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
