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.
Your voice lifts my spirits,
To a height once held by gods.
Your silence sparks my dialogue.
Empty words with subtle weapons.
Do we speak in tongues to taste something?
Or is it to convince ourselves that we know more than we do?
(I feel my stomach turning inside out)
All I know, Is I know nothing.
It would be naive to think that i'm not still learning.
To a height once held by gods.
Your silence sparks my dialogue.
Empty words with subtle weapons.
Do we speak in tongues to taste something?
Or is it to convince ourselves that we know more than we do?
(I feel my stomach turning inside out)
All I know, Is I know nothing.
It would be naive to think that i'm not still learning.

Fortnight

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

I think this song embraces spirituality while criticizing religion. I have emailed this band on a few occasions to ask questions and they have emailed me back very quickly, just goes to show that they are very down to earth and they seemed to really appreciated my support. I asked if they are a Christian band and one of the members said "while our singer is a Christian, we are not a Christian band, I do feel that the if everyone followed most of the Christian ideas of love, our world would be a better place". Not those exact words but basically what he was trying to tell me. You can see some spirituality in the lyrics "Your voice lifts my spirits to a height once held by gods" I think he may be very well be talking about God but then it could just be about someone who really inspires him. The lines "Do we speak in tongues to taste something? Or is it to convince ourselves that we know more than we do?" definitely seem to criticize those who put on a show in the name of Religion to make others and them selfs think that they are more knowledgeable/religious than they really our. Speaking in tongues is supposed to be a gift from God that takes over your body/mind to the point where you don't know what you are saying and have no control over what you are saying. Yet many people pretend to do it by forcing themselves to do it in front of other people and that is extremely bogus. But even after criticizing religion the lyrics are humble enough to state "All I know, Is I know nothing. It would be naive to think that i'm not still learning." Basically admitting that they don't know everything either and they are still growing and learning just like everyone else. Even though this isn't a Christian band, it definitely seems they are trying to send a positive message rather than just sounding angry. I love this band and I look forward to them coming to the US. I know they are going to be very big very soon. And I am so happy to be able to say that I have communicated with them while they still have plenty of time for their fans.
