I need you right now oh
Oh God I don't want to lose you
But I am so confused
I have been so abused
But I'll cling to you
Cling to you
Help
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Free
Free
That I'm Free
Oh that I'm Free
Help
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
God I need you now
Pick me up off the ground
Father you are all that I have
Help
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what to do
Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what you to do
Please Jesus won't you tell me the truth
Because I don't know what you to do

    I just discovered this song and I love the lyrics. To me, Alexander is talking about the "shadow" in each of us, as Carl Jung writes of. That is that dark part of ourselves that we refuse to accept. "The truth is I never shook my shadow." He is admitting that he has a shadow, and he hasn't faced it yet. It tries to get him to do battle, which is basically cognitive dissonance, or fighting against the knowledge of its existence in order to maintain homeostasis or feel calm and balanced.

    In the next verse he's "grown up some"--he's faced his shadow, and done battle with it, and found the power that comes from facing the truth. I love the line "Your darkness is shining".

    Finally he speaks of branching out, of embracing the shadow in others. "Every little lie in this world comes from dividing". Hating the shadow in others results in division. "All my enemies turning into my teachers." He is learning to accept others, and love them, no matter what their faults may be. He is learning true unity and true love.

    I think it sounds like

    "I'll tell you 'bout a secret I've been undermining Every little lie in this world come from the bible"

    good song, good lyrics...i feel its the fight, both individual and as a society, against selfishness; material and emotional selfishness. really like the "no way dividing whats yours or mine when everything's shining"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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
@[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 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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
