I've loved this song for months now, but only just now realized what it's about. The war. And that makes it all the more heartbreaking. Read my analysis below..

Keane - A Bad Dream

Why do I have to fly? (going to war)

Over every town up and down the line?

I'll die in the clouds above

And you that I defend, I do not love (not really loving all the people you're fighting for)

I wake up, it's a bad dream

No one on my side

I was fighting

But I just feel too tired

To be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind (self explanatory)

Where will I meet my fate? (worried about dying)

Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate

And when will I meet my end?

In a better time you could be my friend (under a different set of circumstances, he and the enemy could've been friends... but this is war, and he has to kill)

I wake up, it's a bad dream

No one on my side

I was fighting

But I just feel too tired

To be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Wouldn't mind it

If you were by my side

But you're long gone

Yeah you're long gone now

Where do we go?

I don't even know

My strange old face (the war has aged him and made him look older)

And I'm thinking about those days

And I'm thinking about those days (better times with family and friends before he had to go to war)

I wake up, it's a bad dream

No one on my side

I was fighting

But I just feel too tired

To be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Wouldn't mind it

If you were by my side

But you're long gone

Yeah you're long gone now

If I Never See Your Face Again... Maroon 5

Now as the summer fades

I let you slip away

You say I’m not your type

But I can make you sway

It makes you burn to learn

You’re not the only one

I left you, be a field

Put down your blazing gun

Now you’ve gone somewhere else

Far away

I don’t know if I will find you

But you feel my breath

On your neck

Can’t believe I’m right behind you

‘Cause you keep me coming back for more

And I feel a little better than I did before

And if I never see your face again

I don’t mind

‘Cause we've gone much further than I thought we ever might

Sometimes you move so well

It’s hard not to give in

I’m lost, I can’t tell

Where you end and I begin

It makes me burn to learn

You’re with another man

I wonder if he’s half

The lover that I am

Now you’ve gone somewhere else

Far away

I don’t know if I will find you

But you feel my breath

On your neck

Can’t believe I’m right behind you

‘Cause you keep me coming back for more

And I feel a little better than I did before

And if I never see your face again

I don’t mind

‘Cause we've gone much further than I thought we ever might

Baby, baby

Please believe me

Find it in your heart to reach me

Promise not to leave me behind

Take me back, but take it easy

Make me think but don’t deceive me

Talk to me by taking your time

'Cause you keep me coming back for more

And I feel a little better than I did before

And if I never see your face again

I don’t mind

‘Cause we've gone much further than I thought we ever might

"Pan's Labyrinth"

Imaginative, yet grounded. Dark, yet charming. Strange, yet uncomplicated. Interesting characters and interesting stories... I loved it! It was definitely not hard to get lost in.

Nina Gordon - Kiss me 'til it bleeds

Destructive, exciting, and I can't let go

Inciting a riot on my radio

I'm going, I'm gone, even though I know it's wrong

He's a Saturday night and a Sunday morning rolled into one

With a dirty smile that could shame the sun

If I'm going to hang myself on someone else, he's just enough rope

I know it's bad news, but I can't say no

If bitter is sweet, he's just what I need

So kiss me 'til it bleeds

I'm stupid, a sucker-- he's a loaded gun

A lover, a leaver-- just a hit-and-run

When our worlds collide, breathe deep and hold on tight

'Cause he's so rock and roll, I'm a tortured soul with him in my bones

And he leaves me shattered like a rolling stone

If I'm going to hang myself on someone else, he's just enough rope

I know it's bad news, but I can't say no

If bitter is sweet, he's just what I need

So kiss me 'til it bleeds

So what do you do now?

You know he's going to take you down

But you're addicted to the sound and so you hang around

I'm going, I'm gone, even though I know it's wrong

He's a saturday night and a sunday morning rolled into one

With a dirty smile that could shame the sun

If I'm going to hang myself on someone else, he's just enough rope

I know it's bad news, but I can't say no

If bitter is sweet, he's just what I need

So kiss me 'til it bleeds

Just kiss me 'til it bleeds

    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
    • Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
    • Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
