its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
It's a big blue Spanish sky
Lay on my back and watch clouds roll by
I've got the time to wonder why
She left me
It's a slow sad Spanish song
I knew the words but I sang them wrong
The one I love has left and gone
Without me
Now she's gone, our world has changed
Watching a blue sky, thinking of rain
It's a slow sad Spanish song
I knew the words but I sang them wrong
The one that I love has left and gone
Without me
It's a big blue Spanish sky
I lay on my back and watch clouds roll by
I only wish I could make you cry
Like I do
Like I do
Like I do
Ah
Lay on my back and watch clouds roll by
I've got the time to wonder why
She left me
It's a slow sad Spanish song
I knew the words but I sang them wrong
The one I love has left and gone
Without me
Now she's gone, our world has changed
Watching a blue sky, thinking of rain
It's a slow sad Spanish song
I knew the words but I sang them wrong
The one that I love has left and gone
Without me
It's a big blue Spanish sky
I lay on my back and watch clouds roll by
I only wish I could make you cry
Like I do
Like I do
Like I do
Ah

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Holiday

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
nice to fell-asleep song :) very good
pretty much a story of a depressed man
Such a beautiful song. Judging by the two comments in 6 years, I think this song doesn't enjoy the popularity it deserves.
It seems to be about a man who has lost his loved one and is lying down somewhere (in Mexico probably) looking at the sky feeling depressed.
Beautiful song.
beautiful song
Quote: "in Mexico probably"
I'd say.. Spain? :D
Besides that I agree, beautiful, raw emotional song. I love the pace and the straightforwardness. This should deserve more attention.
"It's a slow sad spanish song, I knew the words but I sang them wrong." am i the only one who think this part makes this song really special? i love it..
Wow. "Wicked Game" and this song show me that Chris Isaak is the John Dowland of our time.
