I think I walked to close to love and now I'm falling in
I felt so many things this weary soul can't take
Maybe you just caught me by surprise
The first time that I looked into your eyes.

[Chorus]
There's a life inside of me that I can feel again
It's the only thing that takes me where I've never been
I don't care if I lost everything that I have known
It don't matter where I lay my head tonight, your arms feel like home, feel like home

This life ain't the fairy tale we both thought it would be
But I can see your smiling face as its staring back at me
I know we both see these changes now.
I know we both understand somehow.

[Chorus: x2]

They feel like home.

    Very emotional and sad. Sounds like my life, I am emotionally divorced and have been for many years. We have two young children that I want to raise. My wife and I co-exist with little to no emotion towards one another (so many things the soul cant take) but share the desire to provide the all american dream for the kids because of our religion and the effects a divorce has on kids. I am in love with another woman (took me by surprise the 1st time I looked in her eyes) and at times think I'd give up all that I've known to be in her arms, we have 5 more years til we can be together. So even though I sleep in a loveless house it is her arms that feel like home. This might not sound like the right thing for me and or my wife but I think its the right thing for the kids.

    Unbeleivable, powerful, emotional, amazing song. One of the best songs I've heard in a long time.

    This song best describes love at every angle imaginable. It's about a man who is so broken down so tormented by life and by the love he has shared with the woman of his life. Even though the world is so cold and so chaotic and even though it seems as if these 2 people do not fit together he still has hope that things will work out. Even though it seems that there days are running low and they both saved each other they feel like there love is dying. But no matter what is going on in the world and what is going on in there hearts he feels so safe in her arms, no matter what he has lost along the way they are meant to be and nothing can break them when they are holding each other. Some days they feel that what they thought was right was actually wrong but holding each other in the night feels right and nothing can come between them at that moment.

    This song for me is a reminder that some times we get a second chance to make things right. I married the wrong guy out of school and was married for 10 years, at a reunion I saw the one I should have married. Just like old times my heart jumped he was going through a divorce. I had lived my life with only one regret, that was letting him get away. Not all that happy in my marriage 4 months later I contacted him and appealled for a second chance at the fairy tale we both missed out on and deserved, I could see it with him now. Luckily after all the dust settled 18 months later we were married, we have been married for 6 years now and life is wonderful. Everyday we laugh we have fun and make an effort to have a moment that we smile at each other and just to appreciate how we got here. If you have the chance to correct a mistake you regret do it its the best thing I've ever done and the happiest I have ever ben. As anyone knows there is nothing more comforting than being home in his arms I am at complete and at home. NO regrets now

    Everyone is going to go through hard times in life, some more than others. This person has obviously had a harder life, been through alot. All it takes is that one person to completely change your life and turn it all around. Love is a powerful thing....

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
