A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall Lyrics


Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son
And where have you been, my darling young one
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son
And what did you see, my darling young one
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin'
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Oh, what did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
And what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
And the executioner's face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
  • This is a 7-minute anti nuclear war anthem. It was one of three social protest songs Dylan recorded on the album; the others are "Blowin' In The Wind" and "Masters of War." Dylan said that the rain was not literal fallout rain, but "some sort of end that's just gotta happen."
  • This was based on an old folk ballad variously titled "Lord Randall" or "Lord Ronald," in which a mother repeatedly questions her son (beginning with "Where have you been?"), leading him to reveal he has been poisoned. The song ends when he falls dead to the ground.
  • Ten years after Dylan recorded his version, Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry recorded a dark, claustrophobic cover as first ever solo single. In the UK it climbed to #10 in the charts.
  • In the liner notes to The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, Dylan said: "Hard Rain is a desperate kind of song. Every line in it, is actually the start of a whole song. But when I wrote it, I thought I wouldn't have enough time alive to write all those songs so I put all I could into this one."
  • Bob Dylan once introduced this song by saying hard rain meant something big was about to happen.
  • According to journalist Bob Spitz, Dylan wrote this song on the typewriter of Hugh Romney, better known as Wavy Gravy.

    Mess On A Mission Lyrics


    Mess On A Mission
  • This was released as the first taster of Liars' Mess album. Speaking to NME about the LP's lyrical content, frontman Angus Andrew said: "In general, the lyrics toy with the idea of having a problem or a messed up head, like I do a lot, but then acknowledging that and utilising it rather than harping on about how difficult it makes things. Even though the reality of it is still fairly troubled and distraught, it's fun and immediate – and you won't have to spend too much time thinking about it."
  • The band said in a press release: "Mess On A Mission acknowledges some of the modern day issues of uncertainty, of being overwhelmed with possibilities, too many choices and it vocalises them. It's cathartic and a more positive spin on something our music has always dealt with: anxiety."
  • The Luis Cerveró-directed video was filmed in a Burnank studio and features the band walking backwards up a staircase. As they ascend further, things become more unreal. "I'd like to leave it open for everyone to read it their way," Cerveró told Urban Outfitters of the clip's concept. "But basically, what happens is that reality gets increasingly diluted to the beats of the track."

    "Luis' treatment immediately stood out: Mostly because I couldn't really understand what on earth he was proposing," Angus Andrew added. "All I could tell was that somehow he was really fascinated by the idea that nowadays, in filmmaking, you can no longer tell what's real and what isn't."

    Nice To Know You Lyrics


    Better than watching Gellar
    Bending silver spoons
    Better than witnessing
    Newborn nebulas in bloom
    She who sees from up

    High smiles and surely sings
    Perspective pries her once
    Weighty eyes and
    It gives you wings
    I haven't felt the way
    I feel today

    In so long its hard
    For me to specify
    I'm beginning to notice
    How much this feels like
    A waking limb
    Pins and needles
    Nice To Know You
    Goodbye
    Nice to know you

    Deeper than the deepest
    Coustou would ever go
    Higher than the heights of what
    We often think we know
    Blessed she who clearly
    Sees the wood for the trees
    To obtain a bird's eye is to
    Turn a blizzard to a breeze

    I haven't felt the way
    I feel today
    In so long its hard
    For me to specify
    I'm beginning to notice
    How much this feels like
    A waking limb
    Pins and needles
    Nice to know you
    Goodbye
    Nice to know you
    To know, you

    Could it be that it had
    Been there all along

    I haven't felt the way
    I feel today
    In so long its hard
    For me to specify
    I'm beginning to notice
    How much this feels like
    A waking limb
    Pins and needles
    Nice to know you
    Goodbye
    Nice to know you
    To know
    You

    Nice To Know You
  • Lead singer Brandon Boyd: "I had a moment in my life about a year ago where I was way too close to everything that was going on and I was blind, I felt like I was asleep. And the clouds parted for kind of a strange reason and I gained perspective. What happened was my hand had fallen asleep on the airplane on the way to Europe and it remained asleep for about 10 days, which was kind of scary. I must have pinched a nerve or something. But as my hand started waking up, the clouds started breaking away from that emotional state as well. The two happened simultaneously, so I created a simple metaphor for it. So it's basically a song about gaining perspective on a situation."
  • The line, "Better than watching Gellar bending silver spoons" is a reference to Uri Gellar, who is famous for using psychic powers to bend spoons.

    This Has Happened Before
  • It was only after penning this ballad that Cash felt she could write proper songs. She recalled to American Songwriter magazine: "When I was 18, I had gone on the road with Dad. I was trying to make my songs rhyme and trying to muddle through on the forms of songs I had inherited. Then, I wrote 'This Has Happened Before'; I remember working so hard on that song and realizing that it didn't have to fit all those forms I was trying to force on it; that was the moment that I felt like could do this."

    There's No I In Team Lyrics


    Well I can't regret,
    Can't you just forget it?
    I started something I couldn't finish
    And if we go down,
    We go down together
    Best friends means,
    Well best friends means

    And I've got a twenty-dollar bill
    That says you're up late night starting
    Fist fights versus fences in your backyard
    Wearing your black eye like a badge of honor
    Soaking in sympathy
    From friends who never loved you
    Nearly half as much as me

    Broken down in bars and bathrooms
    All I did was what I had to
    Don't believe me when I tell you
    It's just what anyone would do
    Take the time to talk about it
    Think a lot and live without it
    Don't believe me when I tell you
    It's something unforgivable oh oh

    Well I can't regret,
    Can't you just forget it?
    I started something I couldn't finish
    If we go down,
    We go down together
    Best friends means,
    Well best friends means

    You never knew
    Well I never told you
    Everything I know about breaking hearts
    I learned from you, it's true
    I've never done it with the style and grace you have
    But I've made long term plans
    Based on these mistakes

    Broken down in bars and bathrooms
    All I did was what I had to
    Don't believe me when I tell you
    It's just what anyone would do
    Take the time to talk about it
    Think a lot and live without it
    Don't believe me when I tell you
    It's something unforgivable

    Is this what you call tact?
    I swear you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
    So let's end this call,
    And end this conversation
    There's nothing worse
    (That's right he said, that's right he said it)
    I swear, you have no idea
    The jealousy that became me thinking
    (That's right he said)
    That you always had it way too easy

    Broken down in bars and bathrooms
    All I did was what I had to
    Don't believe me when I tell you
    It's just what anyone would do
    Take the time to talk about it
    Think a lot and live without it
    Don't believe me when I tell you
    It's something unforgivable

    Best friends means I pulled the trigger
    Best friends means you get what you deserve
    Best friends means I pulled the trigger
    Best friends means you get what you deserve
    Best friends means I pulled the trigger
    Best friends means you get what you deserve
    Best friends means I pulled the trigger
    Best friends means you get what you deserve
    Best friends means I pulled the trigger
    Best friends means you get what you deserve

    Best friends means I pulled the trigger
    Best friends means you get what you deserve

    There's No I In Team
  • This song is a response to Brand New's song "Seventy Times 7." Jessie Lacey of Brand New's girlfriend cheated on him with John Nolan of Taking Back Sunday. John called Jessie to tell him and Jessie said, "Is that what you call tact? You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back. So let's end this call, and end this conversation." That's why these lyrics are in both of the songs. The two have now made up and are friends again and even perform these two songs together.

    Broken Dreams Lyrics


    Broken Dreams
  • The Jefferson City, Missouri, Rock band Shaman's Harvest recorded this as the theme song of a Scottish professional wrestler named Drew McIntyre. He first started using the song in February 2010, six months after his debut.

    Originally, the song had an intro where the accompanying video playing on the Titantron, a giant screen above the entrance stage, would cover the full screen of the television, showing his name and slow-motion footage of him. Of course, this only applies to people who are watching WWE on TV, and not to the audience at the actual show. This was eventually cut in late 2010. (thanks, Guy - New York, NY)

    Rosemary
    Heaven restores you in life
    You're coming with me
    Through the aging, the fearing, the strife
    It's the smiling on the package
    It's the faces in the sand
    It's the thought that holds you upwards
    Embracing me with two hands
    Right will take you places
    Yeah maybe to the beach
    When your friends they do come crying
    Tell them now your pleasure's set up on slow-release

    Hey wait
    Great smile
    Sensitive to faith, not denial
    But hey whose on trial?

    It took a life span with no cellmate
    The long way back
    Sandy, why can't we look the other way?

    We speaks about travel
    Yeah, we think about the land
    We smart like all peoples
    Feeling real tan
    I can take you places
    Do you need a new man?
    Wipe the pollen from the faces
    Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van

    Hey wait
    Great smile
    Sensitive to faith, not denial
    But hey whose on trial?

    It took a life span with no cellmate
    To find the long way back
    Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
    You're weightless, you are exotic
    You need something for which to care
    Sandy, why can't we look the other way?

    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan
    You've come to love me lightly
    Yeah you've come to hold me tight
    Is this motion ever lasting
    Or do shudders pass in the night?

    Rosemary
    Oh heaven restores you in life
    I spent a lifespan with no cellmate
    The long way back
    Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
    You're weightless, semi-erotic
    You need someone to take you there
    Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
    Why can't we just play the other game?
    Why can't we just look the other way?

    Evil
  • Interpol's frontman Paul Banks writes their lyrics, but rarely reveals their meanings. He did tell Flaunt in 2004 that this dreary tune was about "the art of nearly falling apart."
  • Who is the "Rosemary" Paul Banks is singing about? The song seems to be about losing one's self after a trauma, so it could be inspired by the final days of Fred and Rosemary West, a British serial killer couple. While awaiting trial, Fred committed suicide, leaving his wife to serve a life sentence in prison. (thanks, Cam - St. Catharines, Canada)
  • The band doesn't appear in the video: the main character is a puppet who we follow into a hospital after he gets in a car accident; he sings the song throughout the clip.

    The director, Charlie White, came up with the concept of the video. It took 17 hours to shoot on a soundstage and in a hospital operating room in Los Angeles. Paul Banks, told MTV in 2005 why he was so fond of the idea. "The treatment was so interesting," he said. "When we saw the images of the puppet early on, we were sold on the concept of this artificial thing interacting in a real-world environment."
  • Charlie White explained to MTV in 2005 how the puppet in the video represented a fusion of Interpol: "It fits the profile for both band and fan: It's pale, thin, with dark hair and a boyish-man quality about him."
  • The song has been featured in numerous television shows, including the first-season episode of the hospital-drama Grey's Anatomy, "Shake Your Groove Thang," and the Season 2 episode of the teen-drama, The O.C., "The Accomplice."
  • The eerie tune appears on NME's list of 100 Best Songs of the '00s at #59.

    Stranger to My Happiness Lyrics


    So many times there was a man, he met a girl, took her hand
    Told her, "Never will I leave you my love"
    But just as soon as he gone again she's flapping in the wind wondering what she must have been thinking of
    She's a darling
    I've been in and out so many doors
    And I've always tried to keep my head
    With all the men I've known before
    I've seen plenty places
    That I'll never see again
    I've seen a 100,000 faces
    And only called a few my friend

    But it's a mystery
    Just how you came right in
    And stole my heart away
    And left me there again

    (Feeling like a Stranger to My Happiness)
    To my happiness
    (Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)

    Now if you think that's a thing that only evil men can bring
    Let me skin this cat another way
    There was a man who had a plan to settle down with Mary Ann
    He said "Darling (darling)
    I've been in and out so many door
    And I've always tried to keep my head
    With all the girls I've known before
    I've seen plenty places
    That I'll never see again
    I've seen a 100,000 faces
    And only called a few my friend

    But it's a mystery
    Just how you came right in
    And stole my heart away
    And left me there again
    I'm feeling

    (Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
    To my happiness
    (Feeling like a stranger to my happiness)
    Feeling like a stranger

    I'm feelin' (feelin')
    I'm feelin' (feelin')
    I'm feelin' (feelin')
    I feel like
    A stranger
    I feel like
    A stranger to my happiness
    To my happiness
    I've seen pretty faces
    I've been to a lot of places
    I'm feelin'
    Yeah I'm feelin'

    Stranger to My Happiness
  • This song was written and recorded before Sharon Jones was diagnosed with bile-duct cancer, but it subsequently took on a new meaning. She explained to Relix magazine: "No matter what kind of relationship you get into, you feel like a stranger to happiness if it never comes. But now that song has a new meaning. After we recorded 'Stranger to My Happiness,' my happiness was that we were going to go on the road and the album was coming out, but then, I had to go away because of my cancer."

    "Now, I feel like a stranger to my happiness," she continued. "We did a video for it. I'm bald and I'm standing there with a shiny dress—it has a wedding band theme. I didn't want to do the video at first. I look all pale, but you know what? It's a great video. My happiness is coming back now, too, because I still have some chemo to go but I'm ready to get back out on the road."

    The Fish Lyrics


    The Fish
  • All five of the Yes band members contributed one track of their own design to this album. "The Fish" was created by Chris Squire using only the bass guitar. Steve Howe did "Mood For A Day" as a solo guitar piece. "Cans And Brahms" was not only arranged by Rick Wakeman, he played all the parts as well. Jon Anderson sang all the vocal parts in "We Have Heaven" himself. Bill Bruford created "Five Per Cent For Nothing," which was played by the entire group with percussion instruments. (thanks, Randy - Chicago Heights, IL)
  • The title comes from Chris Squire's nickname: he was dubbed "the fish" because of his tendency to take long baths. He also happens to be a Pisces.
  • The subtitle for this song is "Schindleria Praematurus," which is an obscure, neotenic marine fish from the Pacific ocean. "Neotenic" means the adult fish exhibits no adult characteristics, only juvenile characteristics. The story is that Chris Squire had the melody and wanted to sing the name of a fish that had eight syllables, and dispatched a roadie (Maybe Michael Tait) to find one. The best he could find had nine, which is why the last syllable kind of trails off.
  • This is an instrumental. The only lyrics (if you can call them that) are the repeated subtitle of the song - "Schindleria Praematurus, Schindleria Praematurus, Schindleria Praematurus." (thanks, Mike - Mountlake Terrace, WA, for above 2)
  • On the album, this segues directly from "Long Distance Runaround." Radio stations usually play the songs together.

You're going to be lonely when I'm gone.' I've meant that to someone in my life. I said that to plenty of them: 'You're gonna miss me when I'm gone; you're gonna be lonely.

    Deacon Blues Lyrics


    This is the day of the expanding man
    That shape is my shade
    There where I used to stand
    It seems like only yesterday
    I gazed through the glass
    At ramblers, wild gamblers
    That's all in the past

    You call me a fool
    You say it's a crazy scheme
    This one's for real
    I already bought the dream
    So useless to ask me why
    Throw a kiss and say goodbye
    I'll make it this time
    I'm ready to cross that fine line

    [Chorus]
    I'll learn to work the saxophone
    I play just what I feel
    Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
    And die behind the wheel
    They got a name for the winners in the world
    And I want a name when I lose
    They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
    Call me Deacon Blues

    My back to the wall
    A victim of laughing chance
    This is for me
    The essence of true romance
    Sharing the things we know and love
    With those of my kind
    Libations
    Sensations
    That stagger the mind

    I crawl like a viper
    Through these suburban streets
    Make love to these women
    Languid and bittersweet
    I'll rise when the sun goes down
    Cover every game in town
    A world of my own
    I'll make it my home sweet home

    [Chorus]

    This is the night of the expanding man
    I take one last drag
    As I approach the stand
    I cried when I wrote this song
    Sue me if I play too long
    This brother is free
    I'll be what I want to be

    Deacon Blues
  • This song has the curious chorus line of:

    They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
    Call me Deacon Blues

    At the same time, the University Of Alabama was a football powerhouse, winning the National Championship in 1973 and losing just one game in each of their next two seasons under the direction of their famous coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. Alabama is known as "The Crimson Tide," a grandiose name that Steely Dan's Walter Becker and Donald Fagen found amusing.

    The "Deacon" is often thought to be the Wake Forest University "Demon Deacons," whose football team struggled for much of the '70s, winning just 7 games from 1972-1975. According to Fagen, however, that name came from Deacon Jones, a star football player with the Rams and Chargers who got a lot of attention in the media because of his aggressive play and outsized personality. The name fit well into the song, with "Deacon" matching up sonically with "Crimson."
  • The song is about a guy who Becker describes as a "Triple-L loser." He told The Wall Street Journal: It's not so much about a guy who achieves his dream but about a broken dream of a broken man living a broken life."

    Fagen added: "Many people have assumed the song is about a guy in the suburbs who ditches his life to become a musician. In truth, I'm not sure the guy actually achieves his dream. He might not even play the horn. It's the fantasy life of a suburban guy from a certain subculture. Many of our songs are journalistic. But this one was more autobiographical, about our own dreams when we were growing up in different suburban communities—me in New Jersey and Walter in Westchester County."
  • When asked about the line, "They call Alabama the Crimson Tide, they call me Deacon Blues," Donald Fagen told Rolling Stone magazine: "Walter and I had been working on that song at a house in Malibu. I played him that line, and he said, 'You mean it's like, 'They call these cracker a--holes this grandiose name like the Crimson Tide, and I'm this loser, so they call me this other grandiose name, Deacon Blues?' and I said 'Yeah!' He said, 'Cool, let's finish it.'"
  • The Scottish rock group Deacon Blue, who enjoyed seven Top 20 UK hits between 1988 and 1994, took their name from this song.
  • Regarding the opening line, "This is the day of the expanding man," Donald Fagen cites the 1953 sci-fi novel The Demolished Man, by Alfred Bester, as an influence. The book finds the main character "expanding" is mind and thinking of all the possibilities in his life.
  • When our hero is "ready to cross that fine line" in this song, that's the line between being a loser and being a winner, a line that according to Becker he has tried to cross before, but without success.
  • Musicians on this track are:

    Lead Vocals, Synthesizer: Donald Fagen
    Bass: Walter Becker
    Drums: Bernard Purdie
    Electric Piano (Fender Rhodes): Victor Feldman
    Guitar: Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour
    Tenor Saxophone: Pete Christlieb
    Backing Vocals: Clydie King, Sherlie Matthews, Venetta Fields
  • The 12-second intro on this track is one of the most distinctive openings in rock. It was created by having guitarist Larry Carlton and piano player Victor Feldman play the same chords, which were layered together with drummer Bernard Purdie's cymbals.
  • When this song was near completion, Becker and Fagen decided they wanted a sax solo, and they had a very specific sound in mind: the tenor sax that played going to commercial on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. They tracked down the sax player in the Tonight Show band, Pete Christlieb, who recorded his part after a taping of the show. There are many tales of musicians being asked to do take after take during a Steely Dan session, but Christlieb was done in 30 minutes, and it was his second take they used. His part, and the rest of the horns, were arranged by Tom Scott.

    Making Up and Breaking Up Lyrics


    Making Up and Breaking Up
  • This song was written by Bosco Mann, who is the bass player, primary songwriter and producer of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. Jones recalled to Relix magazine: "When I got to the studio, all the guys in the band were like, 'Sharon, you're gonna like this song.' But when you hear somebody singing something and there's no music you have no idea what they're singing. All the guys in the band were singing, 'Making up and breaking and making and breaking up all over again...' I was like, 'What the hell are you all singing?' And then they told me, 'When you hear it, you'll know what we're talking about; it's going to be beautiful.' And it is such a pretty song. When I was thinking about how to get into this song, I thought about the late-'60s/'70s feel, when I was coming up at that age. I wanted to make the song sound like that."
