You make a few good points and I lot of what you state is true kinda sort of. When you say Russians I assume you mean the Russians soldiers that were doing as they were ordered?
Do you know who financed Hitler and who financed Communism and Russia? Following the money usually leads to the truth.
I have to disagree with most of what you wrote except for Finland.
They did try to invade Finland, yes. But I think it was more of a defensive move on their part. Finland was a key strategic location in the war. One of my very best friends in the world is Finnish. He gave me some very great information about the war. The Finns hate Russia for what they did in WW2 and he once told me that the only good Russian is a "black russian". The drink because there were no black Russians. A joke, true story though.
The Russians invaded poland about 16 days after the Germans and for obvious reasons though. Definitely a defensive move.
To say that Russia only fought for their existance is not true in my opinion. If Russia fell, I believe there is a chance America would have fallen too based on the situation at that time in the war. Europe was weak and had fallen for the most part. If Russia fell, it would have been basically USA and China against the world. China doesn't get the credit they deserve for helping the USA in WW2 either actually. You will probably disagree with that too I bet?
Meanwhile...
Very nice! I don't know which I like better, the guitars or the monitor set up.
I believe Hitler was doomed to lose WWII from the moment he was born. That guy was fornicated in his head.
The western allies still would have beaten Hitler but they would have done so at a much higher cost. We probably could have forced the entire Axis alliance to surrender simply by nuking Berlin, Hamburg, and a couple other German towns. And we'd have done it. The nuking part that is, once the U.S. started using them it was checkmate for our enemies.
That said, Stalin's armies killed 8 of every 10 Germans that died. The Soviets destroyed many of the Panthers and Tigers that were built. And they did so at a huge cost to themselves.
America did not really enter the war until very late. The number of Russians that died during WW2 is estimated to be about 27 Million although Russia says about 40 Million died. The United States on the other hand lost about 291 thousand, so about 100 Russians died for every 1 American according to estimates.
If you look at the battles that were fought, I know of no modern day war in which a country and a military sacrificed so much as Russia did in WW2. I also don't know of any historrian that will say America did more than Russia to win WW2. American and Russia were closely allied during the war and even had very close relations just after the war. The interesting thing though if you dig into history was the connection between communism and American Big Corps. I guess you could say the same for Hitler and American Big Corps. Those same companies were a huge part of the rebuild after the war too. Any way, if Russian hadn't stopped Hitler history might have been quite different if you look back at history. America and Americans didn't want to go to war while Europeans, Russians, Chinese and Japanese were all fighting it out pre-Pearl Harbor. But then the war came to American with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Even after America entered the war, the Russians were very important to America. Times changed since the end of the war. Now we like the ones that attacked us in ww2. (Japan) and dislike the ones that helped us (Russia).
Display MoreI was just thinking. And by the way I'm speaking into my phone as I'm driving the last mile to my house.
What would the world have been like if China and Russia had ceased to exist in 1945 after world war II?
What real major threats in the world would there be right now?
What tensions would there be?
What wars would have been avoided?
The United States and Europe and our allies don't always agree on everything but we don't go to war or fight each other. We could mop up shit bag countries like Iran and North Korea.
Actually North Korea probably wouldn't have even existed without China and Russia.
If you seriously think about it, what would it really be like without those two asshole countries?
My perspective from studying history is some people forget that Russia saved the world from Hitler. In 1945 America owed Russia in a big way according to the history I was taught. American Corporations were the backbone of Russia and their industries pre WW2 so I guess you could say they owed us to in a sense.
I agree with #7
I think the song is about Adam, the lead singer, and the bassist from his old band (Mr. Jones) wanting to be famous. Adam has said in interviews that he and his friend went to see his friend's dad's band who was fairly famous the night he wrote the song. At the show they saw an even more famous drummer who had like three girls all over him and that is the basis for the beginning of the song that many people have been trying to figure out. Furthermore, as others have noted, after the CC got famous from this song Adam changed the lyrics around during live performances to reflect how his views on fame had changed.
The most interesting stanza from the song, in my opinion, which no one seems to be focusing on is the one about painting pictures with different colors and how his favorite color is gray and if he knew Picasso he would buy himself a gray guitar and play. This is hugely intelligent because Picasso had a lot of different periods some of them like the Blue Period and the Rose (French for Pink) Period that were defined by his use of certain colors (which in tern reflected different moods.) Both the blue and the rose period reflected the moods that characterized Picasso's life at the time ((Hence, the line all of the colors are very very meaningful). Although Adam says gray, he seems to be referring to Picasso's Blue Period, which was when Picasso was depressed and his paintings very somber as expressed in color (Blue and Blue-Green but sort of Greyish) and subject matter (beggars and prostitutes and eldery people). One of his best known paintings from this time period is the old guitarist which is probably what Adam is referring to when he writes "If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play," especially because the old guitarist is barely able to play in the painting. It's also notable that Picasso was Spanish and there are references to Spainish dancing in the beginning of the song, and barrio (Spanish for neighborhood) later in the song.
Welcome!! Glad you are here.
This is not really a song interpretation. Well I guess it's sort of is.
It's just very interesting to me. It's interesting how extremely talented Finneas and Billie Eilish are.
Will you post something by Billie Eilish that is good? I have listened to a little of her stuff and tried to watch her show on Netflix, but she seemed to be trying too hard to be a unique snowflake to me. Everything was sort of done to attact attention to herself, I quickly became turned off. Did I judge her too quickly? Maybe, I dunno. I didn't really feel like she was being genuine with people, more like she was pretending, but wanted people to think it was real.
I am sorry to hear that LS. Her recovery will be anything but easy. That is a tough break.
When my world collapses.
I fall to this song and cry.
That is a GREAT song. I like most everything Sade has done.
Don't believe "Google Lyrics"
What is Google lyrics?
I don't use Googull for anything.
John Fogerty's 3 year old son helped him write the song. John said he wanted his son to recognize some of the lyrics his son helped create when they were together.
Display MoreThen there were the Censors of the 60's and early 70's.
Creedence's "Women's Tits and Elephants are Dancing in the Yard" Could not pass the Censors
So it Became
"Mammary's and Elephants are Dancing in the Yard"
And that passed. I get a chuckle every time I hear that song.
Where did you hear that tall tale about Tits?
CCR's lyrics are some of the more difficult lyrics to make out. The line actually is "Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band"
Mammary's and elephants, 
5 hours is a lot to watch. But I will say they probably couldn't have exposed all theat they exposed in any less time as they were constantly hurrying things along to keep the time to a minimum.
Dr. Malone helped create and invent MRNA technology. His contributions and testimonies I thought were really insightful.
"Sometimes words have two meanings" - Stairway to Heaven
F U C K & If you see Kay - April Wine
The video won't link, so you have to watch it on youtube I guess. Maybe it is an age appropriate thing although this song was played on the radio in the 80's all across America.
Yep, lots of information and testimony presented.
The lyrics of some of the greatest songs are said to come to the song writer as opposed to the song writer just creating and fitting lyrics into a song. Is that demonic? Does it mean that they have some kind of special abilities that most others don't? Much has been written and discussed about how the lyrics for some of the greatest songs came to be.
I don't have a rumble account. I wanted to look at the comments at least to see how that was being received.
You don't have to have a rumble account to watch it. But you do need one to post and see comments.
I think a lot of lyrics are just not really thought through very thoroughly.
I do that a lot simply to make words fit the melody and the number of syllables that need to fit. I like words that sound cool and fit rather than words that have a literal meaning. I think it's more interesting to have vague meanings too because the listener will get to choose their own meaning,
Very true!
The vast majority of lyrics over the last 40 years are just as you stated. I think the Beatles were one of the first to really go that route. Other bands even discovered they could put almost any lyric into a song and nobody really cared. It didn't hurt the songs and in some cases left them open to unlimited interpretations. Some of it was playful like the song "if you see kay" which was a play on F U C K because when you sing "If you see Kay" it sounds like you are saying F U C K or vice versa. There was a lot of experimentation with lyrics especially in the 1970's. Once the 80's came along, the lyrical experimention became less and less thought out. For the most part it was how fast can you come up with lyrics and get songs pumped out. Studio times were shortened and the music business became much more of a BIG money game. Musicians for the most part had less and less control and record companies had more and more power and control. Between 1982 - 2000 the radio business completely changed from the previous 60+ years. Thousands of independant stations were gobbled up and mega companies fought for market control. National syndication became a big thing too changing programming in most parts of the country. The small market DJ's rarely would play a new record that a manager or band would drop off at the station anymore for example.
Why do some songs have esoteric messages? Here is another one to add to the list. I highlighted what I think the key esoteric part of the song. I will post the interpretation after the lyrics.
-------------------
"Spinning Wheel"
What goes up, must come down
Spinning wheel got to go round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles, it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel spin
You got no money and you, you got no home
Spinning wheel, all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel turn
Did you find a directing sign on the straight and narrow highway?
Would you mind a reflecting sign?
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning wheel spinning through
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride
Ha!
Someone's waiting just for you
Spinning wheel spinning through
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel fly
-----------------------------------
It's a song about BELIEF and the true nature of our Reality as humans. We are most definitely whatever we believe ourselves to be. So in the world "out there" we have hard and fast beliefs, such as "what goes up must come down" (gravity), and yet gravity is just a THEORY. Read what Nikola thought about Gravity. Listen to what Einstein said about Gravity before he died. Discover the "real" Albert Einstein that he grew into, not the E=MC2 theory that Society has forced his name to become.
The Spinning Wheel is us ("You got no money and you got no home, spinning wheel all alone") playing the Universal game called the Samsara. Round and round it goes...all along it follows ONE BASIC RULE, you are what you believe yourself to be. So when you spend your time "talking 'bout your problems" all you will ever get is more problems. This is why they suggest to "ride a painted pony and let the spinning wheel fly"...in other words, let go of all the bullshit rules and regulations that Society tries to control us with and embrace the INFINITE.
The most telling line of all in the song was,
"Did you find the directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real"
Have you EVER found any real answers following the "straight and narrow highway" of society? Well, have you? I know I haven't. Why? Because Society ISN'T YOU! So how could it be? All answers for you lie WITHIN. "Would you mind a reflecting sign, just let it shine within your mind, and show you the colors that are real. Please remember, that MATTER is NOT solid and thus, like Linear Time, NOT REAL. Matter pops in and out of existence whenever we focus our thoughts upon it (The Double Slit Experiment), thus Matter and Linear Time cannot exist as the bastions of our true existence. This is why the ancients referred to our physical world as the MAYA, the Illusion, and true reality as CONSCIOUSNESS, which is twofold...one, each of us possesses our own, unique Consciousness only found by going inside ourselves, and two, each of our unique forms of Consciousness are ALL CONNECTED TOGETHER as ONE Consciousness, part of the Aether, the 2-Dimensional Unified Field of all there is. And this unified Consciousness can be called God Consciousness, as it represents all that is...thus, when we search for God (the Truth, SATYAGRAHA), we will find it through the vibration of Loving all things without judgment (the non-violent AHIMSA).
Thus, the song is ultimately about finding God by going within
