"Jumper"

"Jumper" is a song by the American rock band Third Eye Blind, released on their 1997 self titled album, and written by vocalist Stephan Jenkins.

In my opinion this song is about putting the past away...

the lyrics there says are these two kids. One of them is trying to get his friend to stop thinking about suicide and is trying to convince him that "everyone has a reason to put the past away" and start over. he says that he knows it might be hard for him and that he would understand if after he helped him he didn't want to see him again. But the kid did take his own life referring to the line:

"
We'll he's on the table and he's gone to code

And I do not think anyone knows what they are doing here
And your friends have left too, you've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this"

But in the end the song says that even thought he killed himself his friend was there for him and accepted his decision because that's what's friends are for. The chorus:

"I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand, I would understand"

says that he is trying to help his friend and that he is there for him and he would understand his decision.

The line:

"Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today, you can put the past away"

is just a sum up off the song that says that everybody have problem and in this case a troubled past that will not heal by it self in their life that they have to face and deal with or it will break them down.

Everybody need sometime a friend, a love, brother, sister mother, father or just a person that understands them that's there for them in every situation to help them, and make the best out of the situation...

In Flames concert

So thinking that I was going to do a review of the In Flames concert but I have notice that it's not the easiest thing to do. There is a lot of part to remember from the concert and my memory is not the best, and I think ill never bring pen and paper to a concert that big.

But I can say that it was an really good concert with 4 pre bands and In Flames as the main act.

Pre bands:
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE
DEAD BY APRIL
EVERY TIME I DIE
MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER

The first pre band was good but "Every Time I Die" was not so good, the band had no teamwork and no good songs and the singer fail a few time trying to motivate the audience, and "Dead By April" is not live, will never be good live and have like 2 or 3 good songs so they did not put on a good performance. But "Killswitch Engage" put on and really good performance and they started out good with "My curse" witch is my favourite song and they ended good with a cover of "Holy Diver" witch really motivated the audience.



just press the setlist to listen to the song.

In Flames opened up with a strong performance of "Cloud Connected" and trough out the whole performance they had the momentum even through the less known song. The song list was really good and the only negative thing with it was that they did not play "episode 666".

Best was "Come Clarity" where it sounded better then the original recording and with a really nice background visual and firework.

The teamwork in the band was just awesome and the singer was really good with the audience.

The ending with "Alias", The Mirror's Truth", "the Quiet Place", "Take This Life" and "My Sweet Shadow" that In Flames always end the live performances with was awesome.

One negative thing with the concert was that the audience was not so much on fire, many in the audience just stood still and didn't ever sing with...

But I am really happy fort seeing In Flames:D

"'39"

"'39" by Queen

though I have listen to Queen for many years I did not came across this song for about a half year ago and it strikes me now how good this song really is.

"'39" is the 39th song in the Queen studio album chronology.

The song's lyrics are a science fiction short story which concerns twenty volunteers who leave a dying Earth on a spaceship in search of new worlds to settle. They return to report success, 100 calendar years later, with only a single year passing from the volunteers' perspective (due to time dilation). The lyrics imply that the song's protagonist faces his child upon return to Earth:

"Oh so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me"

This, and the fact that all his peers and friends have died, are a terrible grief to the protagonist, as the final words insist:

"For my life
Still ahead
Pity me"

Brian May described the song as follows:

"It's a science fiction story. It's the story about someone who goes away and leaves his family and... because of the time dilation effect, when you go away, the people on Earth have aged a lot more than he has when he comes home. He's aged a year and they've aged 100 years. So, instead of coming back to his wife, he comes back to his daughter and he can see his wife in his daughter... a strange story. I think, also, I had in mind a story of Herman Hesse, which I think is called "The River". A man leaves his hometown and has lots of travels and then comes back and observes his hometown from the other side of the river. He sees it in a different light, having been away and experienced all those different things. He sees it in a very illuminating way, 'cause I felt a little bit like that about my home at the time as well, having been away and seen this vastly different world of rock music... totally different from the way I was brought up, and I had those feelings about home."

It's one of those song that can have a deeper meaning thou the songwriter didn't mean for it.

I think it can be interpreted in a way that when you go out on a big journey to a new world or place you get much experience and knowledge that you take in and can use in the future. And when you come home you share your experience with the people and notice that they are still the same people or have maybe changed in some way but you feel like a different person in one way or another or maybe more then one.
