This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
One fine day in my odd past
I picked me up a transmission
I turned the fission ignition
Went lookin' for the broadcaster
And when I first touched some ground
They simply told me to leave
Was kinda hard to believe
'Cause there was no one around
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
I had a talented wine
That land of classical gas
And on the planet of glass
They send ya skippin' through time
I got to somewhere renowned
For its canals and the color of red
Lots of guys who shook their heads
Rhythmically to resound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)
This ain't no rock and roll town (this ain't the planet)
This ain't no fuckin' around (this ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)
I met a guy in a rover
He said it's one more over
It's just there where you're bound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)
I picked me up a transmission
I turned the fission ignition
Went lookin' for the broadcaster
And when I first touched some ground
They simply told me to leave
Was kinda hard to believe
'Cause there was no one around
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
I had a talented wine
That land of classical gas
And on the planet of glass
They send ya skippin' through time
I got to somewhere renowned
For its canals and the color of red
Lots of guys who shook their heads
Rhythmically to resound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)
This ain't no rock and roll town (this ain't the planet)
This ain't no fuckin' around (this ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
This song was actually written by an alien who accidentally left it in a phone booth that was later used by Frank Black. He found it and put it on an album. All of the Pixies songs come from the same phone booth. It's true, I read it on the internet somewhere. Can't remember where. I was stoned.
I'd like to stop smoking pot, but I'm just too terrified of becoming a self-righteous git who cannot spell "gets".....
It couldn't have been found on an Earth's phone booth, since the song states that the author never found the source of his/her beloved sound. It could have been left on a Venus phone booth, though.<br /> <br /> Phone booths in Venus are real saunas.
Frank Black smoked TONS of pot. I think this may be an instance when he was in the middle of a week long binge.
The song's narrator is an extraterrestrial of some sort and he's picking up sound waves from Planet Earth. Apparently, there's no sound anywhere else so he runs around looking for the 'Planet of Sound' as he dubbed it, but still can't find his 'rock and roll town'. How sad.
In this song, Earth is unique in the cosmos, for it is the only planet where music exists. An alien happens to hear it one day and is intrigued, so he goes searching for it. He follows some signals to Mars and meets and astronaut who is exploring it, and who informs him that the actual Planet of Sound is "one more over"--Earth.
Not quite the only one. When he mentions Mars (the red renowned place) he says that Martians can hear our music too.
@Superabound I believe the astronaut is on the Moon. Hence the river: one of those vehicles they used on the Apollo missions.
I agree with the alien thing - it's long been said the radio wave noise coming from our planet is huge. However, the astronaut at the end is on the Moon (think of the Lunar Rover), so the Earth is 'one more [planet] over'. Mars is the the red planet with 'canals' (they're quite famous).

I interpret this as someone looking for earth, but landing on the moon instead. But when arriving on earth, theres no more decent music around (at least the music he heard in the original sound when searching for earth).
"I met a guy in a rover, he said its one more over" - One more over being the one next to the moon, being earth.
The lyric "I got to somewhere renowned, For it's canals and color of red" - is this Amsterdam?? Clearly hes under the influence when writing (when isn't he)
Written from the perspective of an visitor who picked up our sounds waves, and has travelled across various planets, comes to ours after hearing some awesome sound waves, only to realise there not here anymore
One of the hardest songs the Pixies ever did. The Pixies give out an uncharacteristic ass-kicking here.
I really am not bothered about this song but everyone seems to go on about it, including Frank Black. I just don't see what's so special about it. It seems like anyone could've written it, unlike the rest of the Pixies stuff.
I thought this was just OK by Pixie standards until I saw it live tonight (Toronto) - seeing it live just brought it to life...it just rocked! Superabound's analysis is bang on...btw, one of the best concerts I've ever seen!
