Once upon a time there was a girl
You wouldn't really call her typical
Had her own definition of cool
She lived in her own world
She had her own style, her own rules
She played along like it was usual
Nobody really even knew her name
To her life was one big game

[Chorus:]
She's got her head up in the clouds
Sharada Sharada
Don't know if she'll come down
Sharada Sharada
She can't get to bed
Sharada Sharada
She's got that song stuck in her head

Dreaming all day, that's all she did
Ever since she was a little kid
All the teachers thought that she was slow
She was just dreaming 'bout her show
And when they told her she's delerious
She didn't care- she's just oblivious
She likes to make everyone curious
One day she's gonna be famous

[Chorus]

Sharada Sharada

[Chorus]

    I love this song so much! It's about a girl (i think thats what 'sharada' is) whos different from everyone else and doesnt care about that fact. She's not afraid to be different and dreams about herself being big one day and doesn't let anyone crush those dreams. Brillant song!

    In my opinion, the most beautiful Skye song to date.

    It's an ode to daydreamers...those who dream big and don't let the pessimism of others drag them down.

    I LOVE THIS SONG!!! It's like, when I feel down or whatever, it reminds me of what I want to be, and that the stuck up losers that make me feel all crappy, that I shouldn't care. I just love this song. =) xoxo Arynn

    It seems like it's about her, thinking about being something she wants to be, which is totally awesome. You should be yourself, no matter what.

    I love this song.

    I swear, this was written for one of my friends. She's a daydreamer, always staring out windows and spacing off. She's a writer, too, and her stuff is incredible. There are some issues in her life, but they never get her down. She's always there with a smile for her friends, no matter how she actually feels. Her grades are pretty bad, but she's still smart. Just like in the song, she's off dreaming.

    Prep with the soul of an emo, I call her, and I love her. She's gonna be somebody. This song is everything that she is. Whenever I listen to it, I can't help but think of her.

    I swear, I heard this song and I thought it had been written for me. I'm a dreamer, and I spend the whole time just staring into space and saying a lot of things about, you know, the way the clouds move that makes loads of sense to me but other people just look at me like "waaah?" I feel like no one understands the real me, but, that's ok because I'm fine just dreaming on my own.

    So, my name is Sharada, and I very closely fit the description in this song. Did she write this song about me? I'm totally having a "singing my life" moment, you're freaking me out . . .

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
