This song is by Red Hot Chili Peppers, when they have released their Blood Sugar Sex Magik album back in 1991I was amazed by it. It is such a great album. I’ve started listening to their music again when they have released their Stadium Arcadium album in 2006. I totally forgot all about them until I’ve met a Canadian girl that was travelling in Australia and working part time in my team, she gave me this album and it just blew my mind! BTW in 2004 their lead singer Anthony Kiedis released an autobiography book about the band called Scar Tissue and it’s a best seller. I haven’t read it as yet but I’m definitely planning to do so soon. This song is such a wonderful song from their album Californication which is very good as well. This song again talks about drug abuse and the tough reality after rehab. I don’t know why I always have this weird attraction to songs about drugs, is it me or the bands that I choose to listen to? I read someone else’s interpretation to this song which was quite funny; he thought it was about Anal Sex “take it on the other side”. He could be right, you never know...Check out this awesome song...
This song is by the British group EMF. Anyone remembers them? They had this boy’s band look but their music sounds nothing like it. Their biggest hit was “your unbelievable”, they were quite popular back in early 90’s and then they disappeared. Their album Schubert Dip is brilliant! I love it very much. This is my favourite EMF song, it’s quite awesome. This song is about a broken relationship, about travelling away to forget all the bad memories. I remember when my hubby and I broke up for the first time after 3 months of dating. He wasn’t really interested in a serious relationship back then. He was quite a player. I was very upset and I just wanted to get away and travel somewhere far from him. I took the train and travelled two hours and stayed with my Friend. I was very upset and I had a few horrible days without him. Of course my hubby didn’t like the fact that I was running away so he came after me, he travelled all the way just to bring me back. That was very sweet of him. Thank god he didn’t give up on us. Check out this wonderful song...
This song is by the Aussie band Thirsty Merc. I’ve seen them perform when I was working close to Martin Place Sydney back in December 2005. I took a long lunch break, met with my friends that also worked in the city and went to see their free surprise gig. They were awesome and it was one of the best lunch breaks I’ve ever had.
This is such a good song , it is the theme song of the tv show Bondi Rescue. Bondi Beach is my favorite place in the whole world ! this song is about the Australian summertime and about how nothing really matters except for having fun and relax:” I don't have a job I never liked them I just wanna play in the sunshine” where I live in Qld, it’s always nice and sunny even in winter and we have the most amazing ocean view from our balcony which I never get tired of, I can spend my entire day just watching the waves, unfortunately I have to go to work in between! I’m definitely a summer person. I can’t stand cold and gloomy weather. It makes me really sad. “Gimme a chance I'll do my best to kick and scream and dance when winter comes I'll turn around” , This song is for my Friend UV that loves hot sunny weather and was also with me at Thirsty Merc’s concert – Hope you enjoy this awesome weather song...
What’s this song about? The track is a tribute to the Australian summer and is a reflection of the laidback Aussie style and is used as the theme song for the Australian television program, Bondi Rescue, which airs on Network Ten.

This song is by Blur. They were such a good band. I love this song very much. Their lead singer Damon Albarn is such a talent! He is the genius behind the Gorillaz as well.
Sounds to me like this song talks about one hell of a beach party with lots of girls and boys that are looking for more girls and boys not necessarily in this order. It’s probably about the Ibiza night life or something similar. This song brings back memories of my Hubby and I first vacation together, after a dating period of 6 months my Hubby took me to Ayia Napain Cyprus. It’s a magical place with an amazing beaches and unbelievable night life. We’ve met other couples and spent our entire day at the beach and at night time we went out to different night clubs and pubs. We all rented a scooter, and rode it everywhere. At some point my Hubby suggested that I would ride it as well, He sat behind me and I accidently squeezed the gas too hard and we both fell off the scooter. My knees were bruised from the falling and it is shown on every photo we took on that vacation. One night we got really drunk and we rode the scooter back to our hotel. Two police officers stopped us for an alcohol testing. Of course they have realized we were completely drunk but they were very friendly and bored and wanted to chat. We had a nice half an hour conversation with the police officers and then they’ve hugged us and told us to drive safely back to our hotel. Even the police know how to party on this island! I would definitely want to go back there, it was an amazing vacation! Back to this lovely song, I hope you like it as much as I do ;)
“This song deals with sexual roles, and freedom of sexual preference. Much of it is a send-up of the hedonistic club culture of the '90s.” (Girls & Boys - songfacts)
In 2003, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke was asked what song he wished he had written. He replied "'Girls & Boys' - bastards!" (Wikipedia – Girls & Boys)
This song is by the Aussie Band Blue King Brown. My hubby and I discovered them on “Live Earth” concert back in 2007. Their performance was just amazing!
This is such a great song. It’s about the aboriginal land rights and the “stolen generation” that refers to the act of taking the aboriginal children out of their home family in a government attempt to maintain a white racial purity. This disgusting act was going on until 1969, way after the World War II ended, you would think that the Aussie Government will learn something from that experience. You can read more about the stolen generation here - Wikipedia - Stolen Generations. I hope you enjoy this great song;)
This song is by the Aussie band The Living End. They have a few really good songs. I really like this song. I think this song is about the current world situation, terror attacks, poverty everywhere, global warming, natural disasters that affect people all around the world it feels like the end of the world is near– it is a wakeup call for all of us to try and change it before it will be too late because it is getting worst each year. “Suicidal education it got sold to our generation Wake up to the manipulation Wake up to the situation Suicidal education”. Check out this wonderful song...
This is a really nice video that was done about the poverty in East Timor:

Here is a comment from song meaning:
“on the DVD that comes with the special eddition album chris talks about this song being written after the london bombings and it was a really emotional song”
This song is by the Finnish Rock band The Rasmus. I love this song very much. Cool music and awesome lyrics. Their lead singer looks like the male version of Björk. This song reminds me that I’m living in the shadows all the time because I’ve never managed to do what I’ve always dreamed of doing when I was growing up. I’ve always wanted to be a singer; I started singing when I was maybe 2 years old and never really stopped. I’ve always wanted to play the drums and a guitar as well. My parents promised to buy me a guitar when I was about 14 but because I was very naughty back then they have decided that they wouldn’t buy it for me and to be honest with everything that I’ve put them through I totally agree with their decision. Today after 20 years thanks to my hubby I’ve started playing the guitar and it’s the most divine experience I’ve ever had, my hubby teaches me everything and I enjoy our lessons together and sometimes we manage to Jam together which is just the highest feeling ever. And about the singing – I practice in the shower all the time and I must say that the bathroom walls are the best audience I’ve ever had so far. Check out this cool song...
This song is by Seether. I love this band so much! Shaun Morgan kicks ass! This song originally recorded by Seether .It was redone as a duet with Amy Lee @ Evanescence.A little bit of gossip, because I’m a girl and it’s a must – Amy and Shaun dated for 3 years and they have recorded this song during their dating period. It didn’t work out between them eventually. Shame ,they looked really good together! Anyway, the mix of their voices is absolutely amazing and I like this version of this song better than the original.
Shaun wrote this song about his daughter when he decided to move from South Africa to America and had left his family behind. Being away from his daughter left him quite broken. This reminds me of My Hubby’s and I move to Australia. We have left our families behind as well. It’s really hard to leave your family and friends and to know that things will never be the same. It’s been almost 6 years since we’ve moved to Australia. Our siblings already started their families and they all have kids. I love my nieces and nephew very much and I feel that I’m missing the most important stages of their lives. They barely remember us when we go back for a visit and it’s quite sad. We miss our parents and family dinners. We have met new friends and they are like family to us but still being away from your real family is not easy. It’s quite a dilemma that will never be resolved. We moved to Australia to be happier and in a way we found our happiness but we are sad being away from our families but if we will decide to go back then we will always feel miserable being away from Australia. I guess it’s a catch 22 situation that will never be resolved. Check out this amazing duet by one of my favourite bands …
What’s this song about? Here is a comment from songfacts website: Seether lead singer Shaun Morgan wrote this song, which deals with the pain of leaving someone behind. He explained in 2004: "I wrote it two-and-a-half years ago for my daughter, she was just born and I had to come to the States (from South Africa) and I wrote the lyrics for her, it's about leaving somebody behind, you know that is really painful to do, and ultimately you're looking to the future saying 'we'll see each other again and everything will be fine.'"
This next song is by the Aussie band Blis N Eso. I’ve mentioned already that I’m not into Hip Hop music, not at all but there are some exceptions. This song is definitely one of the. It’s a pretty cool song. My hubby and our friend love this band, that’s how I was exposed to this song. I just feel like jumping up and down whenever I listen to it. Sounds like this song is about wakeboarding which really fuels your fire and takes you higher, Wake boarding is pretty cool, I’ve tried it once with my hubby and I really enjoyed it. My hubby is quite an expert already, I love seeing him on the board. He is also very much into Kite Surfing and he is really good at it, he’s been surfing for years now. He jumps really high up and it’s fun to watch him, I usually just take photos and enjoy seeing him having fun – It’s too extreme for me and I’m pretty sure if I’ll decide to try it , I will probably crash into a building or just get eaten by a shark! Anyway check out this cool song...
This song is by Eric Clapton. I get all emotional whenever I listen to this song. He wrote this song about his 4 years old son that fell to his death from a 53rd floor window of a New York apartment. When I listen to this song I think about my dog. I’m really hoping that he is in Dog’s heaven because he deserves the best, he was such an amazing dog and it wasn’t easy for him during the end. He was more human than a lot of people that I know, there was something special in his eyes. Whenever I was sad he felt it and was always there for me and when I was happy he felt it as well, he was amazing and I miss him so much. I’m hoping to meet him again someday and thank him for everything he had done for me; hopefully I’ll be able to take care of him again. He was the best friend ever and sometimes I just took him for granted and then one day he was gone. I have a feeling we will meet again...hopefully in the far future because I still have some living to do. Check out this sad and beautiful song...
"Tears in Heaven" is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a window of the 53rd-floor New York apartment of his mother's friend, on March 20, 1991. Clapton, who arrived at the apartment shortly after the accident, was visibly distraught for months afterwards. (Wikipedia – Tears in Heaven)
