It’s Saturday and time for LindaGHill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday and the prompt this week is : “opposites.” Use the word “opposites” or write about things that are opposites. Have fun!
This is the second time I have written an interpretation of this song by The Rasmus because I love it and there is always more to find in this story of these two opposites.
Polar oposites were they He the night she the day He a fallen angel, dark She so pure without a mark They met, the universe exploded. They ignored the odds against them loaded. They were never meant to be Yet could their love set them free.
Hello it’s Sunday again and time for Jim Adams Song Lyric Sunday. This week the prompt is : August 16, 2020 – Clear/Dark/Light
Let’s start with Clear I picked my favourite singer song writer Imogen Heap and Clear the Area.
The track comes from her Speak for Yourself which was the second solo album by British singer Imogen Heap, following her collaborative effort with Guy Sigsworth as Frou Frou. The album was released in the UK and the US in 2005. It was written, produced, arranged, and funded by Heap, without the backing of a record label, and features guest appearances from Jeff Beck, who provides a guitar solo on “Goodnight and Go“, and Heap’s ex-boyfriend, Richie Mills, who argues with her on “The Moment I Said It”.
Not sure of the true meaning of the lyrics but I see it as a friend checking up on a friend/ lover after a heavy night…drugs, drink, sex what ever. I truly love this song !
“Clear The Area”
Knock, knock…are you alone? No one’s out here and I was not followed. Love, love…you’re already home. Party’s over and you don’t look so good.
You find your way back down. And I’ll keep the area clear…please clear the area. When you find your way back down…in one piece. Then I’ll just be waiting here…right here.
Low light…mercury morning… No need to stay as it’s always nothing. But your eyes tell a whole other story…and I feel the weight of the world. Won’t talk…Won’t try…just move… It’s too still in your sadness. Cry…give up…it’s okay… You’ve just got to trust me.
You find your way back down. And I’ll keep the area clear…please clear the area. When you find your way back down…in one piece. Then I’ll just be waiting here…right here.
Slowly…darling…nobody means anymore to me than you If you’re in…baby then I’m in (into this)…with you, always. Careful…close to the edge…(You’re scaring me) Fall in to my arms….(where did it all fall?) Fall…into love…love…
You find your way back down. And I’ll keep the area clear…please clear the area. When you find your way back down…in one piece. Then I’ll just be waiting here…right here.
You find your way back down. Way back down, And I’ll keep the area clear…please clear the area. When you find your way back down…in one piece. Then I’ll just be waiting here…right here.
Next Dark Horse by Katie Perry, I chose the non rap version because I prefer it. 😊
Dark Horse” is a song by American singer Katy Perry featuring rapper Juicy J. It was originally released on September 17, 2013, by Capitol Records as the first promotional single from Perry’s fourth studio album, Prism (2013). Three months later, it was released as the third official single on December 17. Both artists co-wrote the song with its producers, Max Martin, Cirkut, and Dr. Luke, alongside Sarah Hudson. It was conceived by Perry and Hudson during a writing session in Perry’s hometown of Santa Barbara, California, and Juicy J was later commissioned for a verse on the song.
Dark Horse” combines the genres of pop, trap, hip hop and electropop, replicating what has been described as a “Southern rap–techno mashup”. The track features a minimal production, with a “seductive” and “mature” tone to Perry’s vocals, while Juicy J is featured on the song’s intro and rappedbridge. Perry, in interviews, said she wanted the song to have a “witchy, spell-y kind of black magic-y idea”, so she wrote it from the perspective of a witch warning a man not to fall in love with her because if he does, she will be his last. The song was part of a competition sponsored by Pepsi in which fans could vote via Twitter on whether they would prefer either “Dark Horse” or “Walking on Air” to be released as the first promotional single from Prism.
“Dark Horse” was a commercial success, charting at number one in Canada, the Netherlands and the United States. It also reached the top ten in almost 20 countries including New Zealand, United Kingdom, Sweden and Venezuela as well as the Digital Songs chart of Billboard magazine.[1]Billboard credits “Dark Horse” for helping cement trap music‘s place on the charts.[2] Perry first performed the song live at the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on September 20, 2013. The song’s first major television performance was at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards on January 26, 2014.[3] “Dark Horse” was nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. The song has sold 13.2 million units (combined sales and track-equivalent streams), becoming the second best-selling song worldwide for 2014. As of 2019, it is one of the best selling songs in digital history.
Jagger reportedly wrote the lyrics in Brixton prison following his conviction on drug charges in June 1967.[5] The song was recorded by the band at Olympic Studios during July and September 1967.[1] The working title of the instrumental backing was “Toffee Apple”. Brian Jones performs prominent accompaniment on Mellotron.
The number was regularly featured during the Stones’ 1989–90 Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tours; until 1997, when “She’s a Rainbow” was also added to the band’s stage repertoire, it was the only track from Satanic Majesties that the band had performed in concert. For the first time in 23 years, The Rolling Stones played “2000 Light Years from Home” on 29 June 2013 at The Glastonbury Festival.
Sun turnin’ ’round with graceful motion We’re setting off with soft explosion Bound for a star with fiery oceans It’s so very lonely, you’re a hundred light years from home Freezing red deserts turn to dark Energy here in every part It’s so very lonely, you’re six hundred light years from home It’s so very lonely, you’re a thousand light years from home It’s so very lonely, you’re a thousand light years from home Bell flight fourteen you now can land Seen you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand It’s so very lonely, you’re two thousand light years from home It’s so very lonely, you’re two thousand light years from home
Empty flat abandoned left in a hurry.
Displaced cups and plates randomly
Decorate the dark hallway
Clothes litter the lounge
Quiet and all is
Out of place, of
Occupant
Not a
Trace!
