Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, oh
I'm worse at what, what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will be until the end
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us, yes
Hello, hello, oh
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us, yes
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, yes
A denial
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, oh
I'm worse at what, what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will be until the end
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us, yes
Hello, hello, oh
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us, yes
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, yes
A denial

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
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.
"Every morning when [Courtney and I] woke up we'd turn it up as loud as we could and dance around like a Solid Gold* dancer"
"It felt really weird because the neighbors were listening. Maybe they thought I was an egomaniac, but I was really just miming the song and dancing around. It's a great breakfast cereal version."
-kurt cobain in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_as_You_Are:_The_Story_of_Nirvana
I agree with goodriddance. I think that while Nirvana gave it a wild and teenage-like taste, Tori added a sort of deepness to it that could not be reached by Kurt and Co. It's like it needed the woman's touch or something.
yes. the calmness is a good twist on a good old song. but this lyric is the full Nirvana one, not Tori's part.
I love both versions in diffrent ways. For some reason Tori left out this verse:
"And I forget just why I taste Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile I found it hard, it was hard to find Oh well, whatever, nevermind"
Courtney once said, "Her cover version of Smells Like Teen Spirit is the reason Kurt killed himself" - later recanted, stating "We used to slow dance to it together".
I love Tori's version of this song (not that I don't love Nirvana's, because of course they're both amazing)
She makes this song so dramatic.
I'm not sure exactly what this song is supposed to mean, but to me it always seems a little like suburban kids trying to be "ghetto."
"Load up on guns and bring your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend" Playing with guys and thinking it's fun to lose your friends to the street.
"She's overboard and self assured" Going to extremes.
"Oh no, I know a dirty word " Thinking they're cool because they can curse.
"With the lights out, it's less dangerous Here we are now, entertain us I feel stupid and contagious Here we are now, entertain us" Trying to get their thrill from it all.
The whole song sounds like it's a story of a group of friends who tried to be ghetto, played with guns, trying to get thrill, and even thought it doesn't say, it gives the feeling that someone (the girl that was "overboard and self-assured") ended up hurt or dead.
"Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3) Hello, hello, hello! " This is like the person afterwords asking the world to get a clue and asking how low everyone will go.
"I feel stupid and contagious" Is the singer's guilt over the situation. She feels stupid for thinking they were invincible and contagious as if it were her fault.
Not sure, but I think maybe this is thier group of friends: A mulatto - someone who's half-black, half-white An albino - not literally, but maybe saying he/she acts really white A mosquito - maybe this person's the one in the group who keeps hanging around, unwanted My libido - the singer's boyfriend or girlfriend
No idea if this is what it really means. Kinda depressing to think about it this way, though.
I love the calmness of this piano tribute, really worth downloading =)
it's a beautiful song, in some wayseven better than the original.
In my opinion, both are great. I love Nirvana and I love Tori Amos, I love Smells Like Teen Spirit too. It's a really calm song too.
Eh, I don't really enjoy it...I think this is a song that should've been untouchable.
