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”
This is a song called the history of Tenacious D
And its not just a list of bullshit that we've done in the past
It's a chronicling of our rise....TO POWER
We ride with kings on mighty steeds
Across the devils plain
We've walked with Jesus and his cross
He did not die in vain, NO!
We've run with wolves, we've climbed K2
Even stopped a moving train
We've travelled through space and time my friends
To rock this house again, ROCK!
We ride and we ride and we'll never subside
And we'll ride till the planets collide
And if you say that we do not ride
I'll tan you're fucking hide, RIDE!
Kyle's fingers be silver, Jacks voice then be gold
But lest you think we're vain
We know you're all robots and we don't care
Tenacious D, we reign!
We rei-eign, surpreme, OOOHH GOD!
Burrito supreme, and a chicken supreme
And a cutlass supreme
SUPREEEMEEEEE YEAAAAAHHH
SUPREME!!
(New album version has longer ending)
And its not just a list of bullshit that we've done in the past
It's a chronicling of our rise....TO POWER
We ride with kings on mighty steeds
Across the devils plain
We've walked with Jesus and his cross
He did not die in vain, NO!
We've run with wolves, we've climbed K2
Even stopped a moving train
We've travelled through space and time my friends
To rock this house again, ROCK!
We ride and we ride and we'll never subside
And we'll ride till the planets collide
And if you say that we do not ride
I'll tan you're fucking hide, RIDE!
Kyle's fingers be silver, Jacks voice then be gold
But lest you think we're vain
We know you're all robots and we don't care
Tenacious D, we reign!
We rei-eign, surpreme, OOOHH GOD!
Burrito supreme, and a chicken supreme
And a cutlass supreme
SUPREEEMEEEEE YEAAAAAHHH
SUPREME!!
(New album version has longer ending)

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
fun song if you seen the tv shows
I don't know what "weezerific:cutlery" was thinking when he typed this up but this isn't right at all, in anyway, and the beginning is a completely different song "Kielbasa" from the first album... Oh well, here's the correction just so you all can see it.
"This is a song called 'The History of Tenacious D' and it's not just a list of bullshit we've done in the past. It's a chronicling of our rise, to power!
We ride with kings on mighty steeds across the devils plain We've walked with Jesus and his cross, he did not die in vain, NO!
We've run with wolves, we've climbed K2, we've even stopped a moving train. We've travelled through space and time my friends to rock this house again, ROCK!
We'll ride, we'll ride, we'll never subside, we'll ride till the planets collide. And if you say that we do not ride I'll turn your fuckin' hide, RIDE!
Kyle's fingers be silver, Jack's voice then be gold, but lest you think we're vain. We know you're all robots and we don't care, Tenacious D, WE REIGN!
We reign supreme, well oh God, burrito supreme and a chicken supreme and a cutless supreme, supreme yeah.
Go now Kyle 1, 2, 3.
Supreme.
Go now Kyle 1, 2, 3.
Supreme.
Go now Kyle 1, 2, 3.
Burrito supreme and a chicken supreme and a cutless supreme.
SUPREME!"
That turn your hide part is the only bit that I don't get because it doesn't make sense to me, but I could swear that's what he says.
no.. you're the dumbass.. this guy wrote the lyrics from this song when it was on the tv show.. you, only possibly owning the new album and oblivious to the master that is d.. did not realize your own mistake.. thanks for posting the album/studio tho.. good job. also note, that these original lyrics were posted in March of 2002.
wait.. you're a genius, my bad
but wait.. there are two previous versions.
QOTSAEnthusiast I think he says "I'll tan your hide" not turn. Tan your hide is just an expression that basically means 'I'm gonna spank you' or some similar punishment. It comes from the tanning of animal skins (or hides).
in my opinion, kyle's fingers should be gold and jack's voice, silver.
Ith ink the last lines are "Gonna Cum 123" Anyways, they do come in our ear pussies!
yeah it is tan your hide and it is gonna cum 123
TENACIOUS D ATE MY SOUL!!!
