"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.

Edit this setlist | More In Flames setlists

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

In Flames

So today I'm going to see In Flames live in Malmö.

In Flames is a good melodic heavy metal band and they have a few good song, and for the last couple of weeks i have discovered a few more good song so I am looking forward to the concert.

I'm also going to try and do a concert review, i have always wanted to try and it can be fun:D

just to put up something, not my favourite in flames song but a really good one.
"Delight And Angers"

"'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.

"Broken Wings"

"Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister. released in 1985 as a single.

I think that this song can be reflected in two meanings: one a little more easy and shallow meaning and one little deeper meaning.

This is a great song of a broken relationship. He realizes to late that its falling apart and he knows it over unless he steps up and tells her how much he truly loves her and that he can't do anything without her.

But if you look a little close I think that it's a song of inspiration that urges the listener to heal his wounds, live life again and learn to enjoy. so to speak that every once a while you will hit bumps in the road of your life but that you must learn to deal with them to enjoy your life.

"So take these Broken Wings
And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in"

I think it says that you have your broken wings that reflects a problem in life and you must learn to deal with the problem to live enjoy life. And the line:" when we hear the voices sing, the book of live will open up and let us in" reflects that singing is a way of life that is free, meaning that the problem has been solved and life opens up for us to enjoy...

One of the best songs of the 80s<3

Lyrics

The video is good to, one of the better music videos that was produced in the 80s:) The part in it where the band is not shown gives a little feeling of freedom.

Gary moore

Gary Moore is an Irish blues-rock guitarist and singer. He is an former member of the band "Thin Lizzy" but he's know mostly for his solo career.

He's one of rock's most underrated guitarists (both from a technical and compositional point of view). Gary Moore is a really good guitar player that brings such intensity and feeling trough his guitar. There is not many that can make so good blues-rock that goes right in to your soul. When the lyrics plays in some of his songs it's like the guitar starts to speak out the lyrics and it gives the lyrics so much more feeling...

"Still got the blues"

There are a few songs where the lead guitar communicates vibe and emotion better than any vocal you could apply to a song. This is one of those songs. This is one of those rarities where every note, every lick is timed, spaced, and played just perfectly, where the whole is much greater than the sum of it's parts.

The song is mainly about a guy that though it was easy to let love go, but he found out that it wasn't easy and that his love will always be in his heart ("but i still got the blues for you").

The lyrics is in a way simple but it has a really good feeling in it that makes the word really good. And when the guitar solo just kicks in after a long vocals part it just feels that the guitar just brings the whole song together and deliver the meaning in such amazing way.

This is really how you make a guitar cry and speak at the same time....



"The loner"

It not easy to feel the amazing feeling of and "instrumental" song. An instrumental song is and song with no vocals at all, it's just the instrument that talks for them self...

The guitar just sings and cries at the same time trough the whole song and it's such a beautiful melody, it truly feels like the saga of someone who's alone in the world. I wouldn't hesitate to say that it's an hauntingly(yeah, that's a word) melody.

This is one of does songs that have a real soul in it and such great passion that send shivers trough you whole body and it almost makes you want to cry because the guitar just cries trough the whole song in a so beautiful way....

just close your eyes and enjoy....



"Out In the Fields"

Lets go to one of Moore's song that is more rock to it then blues. "Out In the Fields" was written and recorded by Gary Moore and Phil Lynott (Phil formed the band Thin Lizzy). Gary Moore on vocals and guitar and Phil Lynott on bass and vocals.

Baisically saying that in war everyone is equal. Nobody has a better chance of not being killed. Therefore it is a message of peace "The cries of every nation; they're falling on deaf ears again". It's also about how so many wars/conflicts have to do with religion and race, and how stupid it all is.

The lead guitar solo performed by Moore in "Out in the Fields" has long been considered a masterpiece by electric guitarists, despite its short duration. Included in the Top 100 Guitar Solos of All Time. It starts out slowly then builds up great speed and it's a feel of harmony and above all sheer power.



"Over the Hills and Far Away"

This song is probably Gary Moore's most known song, it a song that everybody have heard sometime.

he lyrics speaks of a man that is accused for a robbery and is being imprisoned for ten years because he can not tell where he had been that night. He had been with his best friend wife that night and she prays that he will returns some that, that's for sure(referring to the line:

"Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms again she'll be."

And he knows that he will taste freedom again some day and he swears that he will return some day.

This is so pose to be based on a true story.

Out trough the song there is a drum play that feels so powerful and joyful that you almost want to jump to it. The drums gives away a little feeling of a military march. The solo is almost like "Out in the Field", it a short solo that begins slowly for a few seconds and then fires up big and just feels so good. The is a really good violin play in the song that gives away a good melody of joy and feeling.

A really good song that because of it's powerful vocals and music.



"Empty Rooms"

This is and really heartbreaking ballad. The lyrics really speaks for them self. It about a love that is broken up and the guy can't get her out of his mind. She is everywhere and he knows that he must be strong but his heart tells his that he is wrong. He must learn how to live without love... The term "Empty Rooms" has an dual meaning. Literally empty rooms - empty of the one you love or empty of love. Also it symbolizes the period of time in which you "learn to live without love" where ever that may be.

There is two versions off this song one "original version" and one "original long version". for me I'd say that he long version is much more better because in the middle of the song it slows down and it one of those part where you feel the power and the soul in the song.....

Still Alive

The song "Still alive" by Lisa Miskovsky is the main theme for the game "Mirror's edge" released in November of 2008.

Mirror's Edge takes place in a modern, utopian city, where a totalitarian regime has taken over following the events of the "November riots", which took place eighteen years earlier. In Faith's (the main character) own words, the city was once "dirty and dangerous, but alive and wonderful." The government implemented a policy of invasive surveillance, tracking all forms of electronic communication in order to reduce crime to nearly non-existent levels, and quell any challenge to its power.

Faith is a "Runner", a courier who carries physical communiques around the city, her services retained by revolutionary groups who avoid communicating via highly-monitored telephone and e-mail channels. The runner's work on the rooftops of the city being the only communication in the city that is not under surveillance.

The song is singed from the perspective of Faith and she refers to the city as a person.

The first line in the song:

"I have changed
I have changed
Just like you
Just like you"

This verse is about how Faith has watched the city her parents fought to protect, turn from a 'dirty but alive' city, to a sterile lifeless utopia, and in this change she was forced to change in turn, with the city to be able to survive.

"For how long
For how long
Must I wait
I know there's something wrong"

this verse says that she knows that there is something wrong and she is just waiting for it to change because it's not right.

"Your concrete heart isn't beating
and I've tried to
make it come alive"

This verse is saying that the city isn't alive and she is doing everything to give the city life again.

"No shadows,
just red lights.
Now I'm here to rescue you"

This is somewhat a double meaning also, no shadows refers to the bleached lifeless city, in mostly white concrete, broken by striking colours here and there, however throughout the game the primary colour used to signify freedom is red, with all objects you may interact with being coloured red, the last line is Faith declaring that she will rescue the city.

"Oh I'm still alive,
I'm still alive.
I can't apologise, no."

Faith says that she is still working against the city and is still alive and this is an apology to those that have accepted the changes to the city or been too afraid to defy the changes.

"So silent,
no violence.
But inside my head
so loud and clear."

The city is so lifeless, soulless and there is a sheen over the city, no violence because the population is so subdued, but inside her head the city is alive because the she want it to be that way so bad.

"You're screaming...
You're screaming...
Covered up with a smile I've learned to fear."

Faith knows that the people wants the city to change back inside but the people have learn to cover up does thoughts because the are to scared to say something.

"Just sunshine
And blue sky
Is this all we get
For living here"

points to the fact that other than the sun and the sky, there's nothing with soul or life in the city, and living in the environment round the city is all you have.

"Come fire
Come fire
Let it burn and love come racing through"

I believe this is a reference to fires burning away the mask of the city, once burned away it'll be given it's life back and people will stand for their opinions.

"I've learned to lose
I've learned to win
I've turned my face against the wind"

Faith have learn trough her living that there is those people that is trying to stop her and sometime it doesn't goes so well but in the end she know that she can stand victorious on the roofs and just feel the wind blowing in her face and that's a feeling of life.

"I will move fast
I will move slow
Take me where I have to go"

Running and jumping trough out the city, flowing over obstacles at speed, or to shimmy across ledges slowly, both of which lead Faith to her goal, so she is using the city as it is, to rescue it.

I love this song so much, it's a song about fighting for your freedom and something you love because you have the all the right to live with it and in the end you will make a change and break through it...<3
