This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death and from my heart
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
But you'll never find
Peace of mind
Til you listen to your heart
People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart from you
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Covered me with kisses and lies
So goodbye
But please don't take my heart
You are far
I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the pieces
And mend my heart
Maybe I'll be strong enough
I don't know where to start
But I'll never find
Peace of mind
While I listen to my heart
People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart
And people
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
But remember this
Every other kiss
That you ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man
One you really can surrender with
I will wait for you
Like I always do
There's something there
That can't compare with any other
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death and from my heart
Strange that I was wrong enough
To think you'd love me too
I guess you were kissing a fool
You must have been kissing a fool
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death and from my heart
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
But you'll never find
Peace of mind
Til you listen to your heart
People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart from you
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Covered me with kisses and lies
So goodbye
But please don't take my heart
You are far
I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the pieces
And mend my heart
Maybe I'll be strong enough
I don't know where to start
But I'll never find
Peace of mind
While I listen to my heart
People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will

If you let them

But remember this
Every other kiss

Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man

I will wait for you
Like I always do
There's something there
That can't compare with any other
You are far
When I could have been your star

To think you'd love me too
I guess you were kissing a fool
You must have been kissing a fool

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I too think this is George's best song. A classic song of love that didn't work out, it really deserves a place among the great standards. I seriously wish I could play the piano like that.
This is George's best song, and it really shows off his talent as a singer/songwriter.
Unfortunately, the great love of my life could sing this song about me. I hope he will wait for me.
You can't go wrong with a George Michael ballad. Great song!
This is a really hard song to sing with all the highs and lows and minor keys. Anyway, I love this song. When I was going through breakup with a guy I played George's Ladies & Gentlemen album a lot so a lot of his songs from "For The Heart" mean a lot to me about that breakup - this one because I felt like i was a fool for letting him do the things he did with my head, and I felt HE was the fool for messing with me. But it didn't help me get over him because of the "But remember this..." section - "I will wait for you, like I always do, there's something there that can't compare..." etc - because if you feel sad about a breakup, not angry, you find it hard to move on. Sad times :(
I know how if feels like. Moving and touching song, and that part "But remember this..." makes me feel like the guy never quite close the door to that mistreating lover...which is what I've always done. And that's honestly self-destructive.
I think it is basically a man who fell in love with a woman and instead of her listening to her heart she listened to what everyone else was saying to her(making her feel like a fool and take her heart and scared her away). And she will never be at peace until she listens to her heart. As GM says things could have worked out if she had only listened and he lets her just remember that I'll always for you because she'll never find anyone like HIM or what they have.
"Kissing a Fool" is George Michael's best song by far. I'm learning to sing it (-2 steps). The Michael Buble version is OK, but GM's original is best. There are a number of very good covers on y**tube. See: Pedro Garcia, Sung Si Kyung, willboy024, John Jacques, Edyta Gorniak, ...
Obscurusvita above is partly wrong about the "woman" part above, since GM has been gay forever. I feel this song can apply to most any asymmetrical romantic breakup. I have been on both ends of breakups and really feel the pathos of this song.
In December 2011 GM contracted a very serious case of pneumonia in Vienna and was close to death. Fortunately, he seems to have come out alright, and we'll see him on tour again maybe in 2012.
around this time George was going out with a French guy called Tony, who although was sleeping and having sex with George, would not admit to being guy............George was totally in love with him
This is a song about a heartbreak, ego over love and the lonely soul that was unable to fight for the truth coming from his/her heart. Yet the singer stays as a constant lover, no matter what, because he acknowledges that his/ her love will continue despite betrayal, for this is how true love really works. the singer knows this is the price of love and accepts that the primary choice made him a fool after all, because he lost himself in the process, acquiring some deeper truth that needs no ego. He can be the fool, but the real one, is the one that was not true to himself/herself.
