Every music that you hear means something to you one way or another. Every song has a meaning, every song tells a story. I started this so I could share with you a bit of myself.
This is sung by a Portuguese band called Blunder. I wouldn't know how to describe their sound, but they definitely have a rock vibe going on.:)
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.
Look all around, there’s nothing but blue sky
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue sky
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day...

How in the world will I make it to work in the morning?
I've been drinking since we clocked out and now it's 4am.
But they're such a generous couple, Alfredo and Pauline.
When they offer a late night session you don't want to offend.
The shutters come down and thats what they're for.
We dont want to invite in the law.
It's not often the case that we're forced to sacrifice the jukebox.
But the plug always has to be pulled on the quiz machine.
So you imbibe all you can,
'cause you're partaking in something forbidden,
and time after time you'll wake up face down in the latrine.
We speak in hushed tones, dim down the lights.
We're staying after hours tonight!
instumental break
Where am I now?
Where am I now?
Where am I now?
I dont remember a thing,
I dont remember, remember a thing.
Lord only knows what kind of poison I'm drinking, I can't read the label.
So I'll just dance off my cares like Fred Astaire up here on the table.
The shutters come down and thats what they're for.
We dont want to invite in the law.
Speak in hushed tones, and dim down the lights.
We're staying after hours tonight-----
He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
a bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
he got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree,
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
Waves came crashing like a fist to the jaw,
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now..."
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, oh oh...
He's flying! Woah!
Whole! Woah! Oh...
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
by faceless men, well...fuckers, he still stands.
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
the love he recieves is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
a human being that was given to fly
Flying! Woah...
Whole! Flying! Woah...
Flying Woah...
Oh Woah...

PS: Why bold letters? Because it is, in my humblest of opinions, one of the best things Eddie
Vedder has written.
I don't know if this is supposed to be Christian, I just know that this gives me strenght when
I need it. And lot's of it. :)
It's a time for grown-up boys
Goodbye to the sky
I know I can't fly but I feel love do you know
How I feel?
You are my achilles heel
Hello to below
I feel love flow like a river flow you and I
Standing still
You are my achilles heel
Feeling free yeah what about me?
Well you gotta give it up coz I feel love do you know
How I feel ?
You are my achilles heel
Goodbye to the sky
I know I can't fly but I feel love do you know
How I feel ?
You are my achilles heel
For there's a child in your eyes and the child never dies
To keep the dream alive
With the aid of second sight
I can push with all my might
To make a statue in the sky
Of my achilles heel
Small fry don't know why
Gotta get high just to love life
You are my highs and lows from my head to my toes
I said hey la
Will I go far?
Will I go far - cos I love life
Do you know how I feel?
You are my achilles heel
I said Oh no no
Will I go slow?
Now will I go slow?
When the feeling flows
For there's a child in your eyes and the child never dies
To keep the dream alive
With the aid of second sight
I can push with all my might
To make a statue in the sky
Of my achilles heel
Well you're feeling free
So what about me?
I said hello and goodbye
But I don't know why
Well while we're small fry
On the line
With my achilles heel
Achilles heel
I have an evil plan to save the world for every man,
And I think it's better than the way it's being run.
Oh the groundwork's laid,
No Don't be afraid,
I'm sure that I can fix it,
When I figure out the physics.
My evil plan to save the world,
Just you wait 'till it's unfurled,
It'll go down in history.
It's prophetic,
No, it's not pathetic.
I can't believe I made it up myself.
I have an evil plan,
To save the world you understand,
The exemplary feat, you'd think I'd have to cheat.
I'd make Voltaire proud,
Deep and furrow browed.
Uncanny and so clever, it's "Our Newest Plan Ever!"
Got tired of whining,
A grander scheme with silver lining,
For every boy and girl.
We can't be responsible,
For all that's wrong with this world.
Starving children in pain,
You can't believe in that God.
The world's not spinning your way,
Does every dog still have his day?
