[Chorus]

Summary:
This song is about New York. New York has special power. New York makes us special.

Why I like this song:
Actually, I could not understand the song's meaning at first, but I like this song because it is hip-hop but women's main part is so clear, and once I listen to this song, I can't forget it. And more, I can imagine how New York is from this song. Though New York is so big city, I would like to visit New York which dreams are made of and there are nothing I can't do.

Lyrics

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
``Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?''
He just grinned and shook my hand, ``No'' was all he said

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me

I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side by side
I said ``Hey Carmen, come on, let's go downtown''
She said ``I gotta go but my friend can stick around''

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me

Go down Moses, there's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day
``Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee?''
He said ``Do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee company?''

The Weight 歌詞
LoveCMSの洋楽歌詞

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said ``I will fix your rat if you'll take Jack my dog''
I said ``Wait a minute Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man''
He said ``That's okay boy, won't you feed him when you can?''

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me

Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me

[Summary]
The song comprises four episodes, in each of which a traveler meets a person or a group of people. As you can see, the song is more and more mysterious if you try to interpret who is the traveler, why he travels, where he is headed for, etc.

[Why I like it]
Probably, there's not much meaning in this song per se: it may be the listener who creates a story based on this ostensibly 'non-sense' song. This way the song gives you more freedom, and that's why I like it very much. When you think about, what is depicted in the song is exactly the way a travel goes: you encounter a lot of exotic things and people, and at a certain point you realize that you are waiting for the day to go back home. In other words, you discover your home by traveling outside.

Title: I run to you
Singer:Lady Antebellum

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs38lKxmtI4

I run from hate I run from prejudiceI run from pessimistsBut I run too lateI run my lifeOr is it running meRun from my pastI run too fastOr too slow it seemsWhen lies become the truthThat's when I run to you

This world keeps spinning fasterInto a new disaster so I run to you
I run to you baby And when it all starts coming undone Baby you're the only one I run to
I run to you

We run on fumesYour life and mineLike the sands of timeSlippin' right on throughAnd our love's the only truthThat's why I run to you


summary
sometime everyone feel like that and want to run from that
I think travel is chance to change feelings that's why I chose this song.
I think this song mean's 'I' want to run to daily life.

Title:You and I
Singer:Celine Dion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKRX6zGoUK4

(Lyrics)

High above the mountains, far across the sea
I can hear your voice calling out to me
Brighter than the sun and darker than the night
I can see your love shining like a light
And on and on this earth spins like a carousel
If I could travel across the world
The secrets I would tell

Chorus:
You and I
Were meant to fly
Higher than the clouds
We'll sail across the sky
So come with me
And you will feel
That we're soaring
That we're floating up so high
Cause you and I were meant to fly

Sailing like a bird high on the wings of love
Take me higher than all the stars above
I'm burning, yearning
Gently turning round and round
I'm always rising up I never
Want to come back down

Chorus x2

You and I were meant to fly

[The summary of this song]
Love is very important thing like mountains and sky.
If we can get love, we can try everything and could fly, too.

[Why I like this song]
I like this singer, and her voice is really beautiful and strong.
Also, this song is written about love.
It tells us that love is very important like nature.
So, I like this song very much.

Title:Party In The USA
Singer: Miley Cyrus


(Lyrics)

I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess,
Am I gonna fit in?

Jumped in the cab,
Here I am for the first time
Look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous,
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay Z song was on
And the Jay Z song was on
And the Jay Z song was on

[Chorus:]
So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
And the butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like yeah
I'm movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's lookin at me now
Like "Who's that chick, that's rockin' kicks?
She's gotta be from out of town"

So hard with my girls not around me
Its definitely not a Nashville party'
cause all I see are stilettosI guess I never got the memo
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the D.J. dropped my favorite tune
And a Britney song was on
And the Britney song was on
And the Britney song was on

[Chorus]
Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me everytime (everytime)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright

[Chorus x2]



Summary
It's song is about a girl who came from the country to the city by her self.
But when she got to the city she felt homesick.
However, when she hear her favorite song she feels that she can
do it.

Why I like this song
This song reminds my when I started my new life in Gunma.
And I can feel good when I hear this song.
Even I'm in some place that I don't know.

Title: Travelin' Man
Singer: Ricky Nelson

(Lyrics)

I'm a travelin' man
I've made a lot of stops all over the world
And in every part I own the heart
Of at least one lovely girl

I've a pretty Seniorita waiting for me
Down in old Mexico
If you're ever in Alaska stop and see
My cute little Eskimo

Oh my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my retune

Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki
And I held you oh so tight

[instrumental break]

Oh my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return

Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki
And I held you oh so tight

Oh, I'm a travelin'man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man


(Summary of the song)
The song details the loves of a traveling man.
They were a "pretty seniorita" in Mexco, an
eskimo in Alaska, a fraulein in Berlin, a china
doll in Hong Kong, and a Polynesian in Waikiki.

(why I like this song)
this song seems to have been made in 1950,
but this sound makes me feel comfortable
and sorrow.Though it is very old song,
it will be took over all the time.

I've been around the world in the pouring rain,
Feeling out of place, really felling strange,
Take me to a place where they know my name,
Cuz I ain't met nobody that looks the same,

(He a fish out of water, loin out of the jungle)
I need my peoples, my peoples, take me to my peoples,
(He got jungle fever, show him some love, show him love)
Just gotta have someone, gotta have someone, to relate to, to relate to,
(I found my breath before)
Just gotta have someone, gotta have someone, to relate to, to relate to,
(I found my breath before)
Chorus: See I been travelin,
Been travelin forever,
But now that I found a home feels like I'm in heaven,
See I been traveling, Been travelin forever,
But now that I'm home feels like I'm in heaven,
See I been travelin, Been travelin forever,
But now that I found a home feels like I'm in heaven,
Feels like I'm in heaven, feels like I'm in heaven,
Feels like I'm in heaven, feels like I'm in heaven, heaven,
Travelin the world like a torren man,
Been around the planet in a forign land,
I've seen things that I thought I'd never see,
Take me to a place where they look like me,
I'm a lion out the jungle, fish out of the ocean,
(He's a lion out the jungle, fish out of the ocean)
I need my peoples, my peoples, take me to my peoples,
(He got jungle fever, show him some love, show him love)

Summary
this song is used in the movie "Madagascar 2". the main character, Alex who is lion. he had to leave his own home because hunter caught him when he was little boy. this song was used that part and Alex feels good even he stayed at zoo because he is hit, so he feels he is in heaven.


This movie is really interesting for me, and in madagascar 2, Alex could meet his real father, mother and friends. His hometown was actually in this jungle(savannah) but he still miss his zoo and his friends, like zebra, hippopotamus and giraffe. If you want to watch this movie and this song also makes you happy to go to travel^^
