Je hoort vooral dat iemand vandaag fantastisch vindt.quote:Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
deze gaat dus over een school shooting.quote:All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet
quote:His footprints are fading away from the beach
We're not a family to pray or to preach
But daddy's best friend took a handful of pills and now he's at a podium making a speech
Yesterday night after dark
He carefully wrote his remarks
But everyone said what he put on his page so he threw it way and went straight from the heart
[Hook]
I thought this was a party
But all my friends are leaving
And I still want to play
You wrecked me when you stepped out
Cause you're the wounded healer
And you're supposed to stay
[Verse 2]
A year's a bottle in a bucket of trash
It'll tip over the more that it stacks
Didn't notice it till now but dad's been moving slower every time we go play catch
I'm scared of the day when he'll carry a cane
I carry his dream
I carry his name
And when papa is gone he will never be gone because the sound of our sneeze is the same
God bless I
Hear your voice
In mine
I want to stop time
Like a carnival ride
Because
I don't know what I'm saying but I mean it (repeat)
Misschien niet een heel onschuldig lied, maar die uitleg zocht ik er nooit achterquote:Watsky's explanation:
My dad's best friend committed suicide a couple years ago. Both he and my dad are/were psychotherapists (specifically Jungian analysts) and committing suicide is a major taboo for therapists with active clients. So it was especially confusing and heartbreaking for my dad. Carl Jung (i.e. Jungian) has a plank of his theory about being a "Wounded Healer," which means that the therapist brings their own experiences and trauma into their relationship with a patient, and uses that to help inform their advice and empathy. I wrote the song about that experience paired with seeing my dad ,who I love a lot, get older.
Dat is ook wel weer waar ja 🤔😁quote:
De tekst heeft ook veel te serieuze zinnen om over iets vrolijks als leuk rond springen te gaan. Maar ja, het klinkt zo vrolijk.quote:David Lee Roth: "Jump" is a song that we wrote for several different reasons, primarily because it is leap year and secondly, because I was watching television one night and it was the five o'clock news and there was a fellow standing on top of the Arco Towers in Los Angeles and he was about to check out early, he was going to do the 33 stories drop - and there was a whole crowd of people in the parking lot downstairs yelling "Don't jump, don't jump" and I thought to myself, "Jump." So, I wrote it down and ultimately it made in onto the record.
Nou dát heeft bij mij lang geduurd voor ik echt door kreeg waar dat over ging en niet heel vrolijk over 99 leuke luchtballonnenquote:
Deze klinkt ook veel te vrolijk voor hoe het aflooptquote:
Een paar coupletten verder:quote:From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the color of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
quote:On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
quote:And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Heb me nooit verdiept in Polly van Nivana, waar ging het over dan?quote:Op donderdag 4 maart 2021 00:19 schreef Beathoven het volgende:
Ik deed in m'n jeugd nooit zoveel aan goed luisteren naar lyrics en doornemen van achtergronden. Als 't maar goed klonk vond ik het wel prima.
Zo dacht ik ooit dat Polly van Nirvana een song over een papegaai was...
Toen ik ja-ren later las waar het echt over ging heb ik het nooit meer gedraaid.
Het nummer is kunst, maar wel van een soort waarbij ik enigszins begrijp dat het mogelijk een component van Kurt z'n depressies geweest is die uiteindelijk tot z'n zelfmoord hebben geleid. Het maakt je getuige van iets waarvan je geen getuige van wilt zijn en dan ook nog uit de eerste persoon die je al helemaal niet wilt zijn als luisteraar.
Zijn er soortgelijke nummers? Of nummers die jullie links hebben laten liggen om dezelfde soort redenen?
Naar ik mij herinner, een meid die verkracht en vermoord is bij een concert van ze.quote:Op zaterdag 6 maart 2021 14:35 schreef Lospedrosa het volgende:

A sample of "Polly", based a real-life account of the abduction and torture of a 14-year-old girl. Its haunting narrative is written from the point-of-view of the serial rapist. The song is driven by soft, plunking acoustic guitar strums.[7]quote:Op zaterdag 6 maart 2021 14:35 schreef Lospedrosa het volgende:

quote:This song actually has a really brutal, depressing, terrifying origin. A teenage girl went to a rock concert, and while there she was kidnapped, raped, and tortured with a blowtorch. She managed to escape by flirting with her captor to gain his trust, then escaping in the night.
The opening lyrics, the ones you’re talking about, are:
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
“Polly wants a cracker” is just to lead into the next line, which correlates with the actual story. The whole song compares the girl to a bird, and “Polly wants a cracker” is just a well-known line.
But as you can see, the following line, “I think I should get off her first” is from the perspective of her kidnapper, and the next lines, “I think she wants some water to put out the blowtorch,” have a pretty obvious correlation with the actual story.
The other time this lyric is used is in the second verse:
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
This is kind of similar to how it was used in the first verse, with a slightly different part of the story.
The chorus to this song is also pretty horrifying. It gives me chills to read the lyrics.
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself.
