Mae - The Fisherman Song (We All Need Love) Lyrics
Tonight I find it hard to sleep
Each sound and squeak I hear
Keeps me staring at the ceiling
Oh, it's dark as night outside
The quiet that it brings me
And I've got too much on my mind
I think it's time to take a drive
And leave it all behind
I've got a song that's halfway there
I think it needs the ocean air
I'm going to grab my guitar
And get in my car
Oh, I need some understanding
And a little love
Going to speed down to the oceanside
In a race with the stars above
With my guitar in hand
And toes touching the sand
I can see the sun is coming
Colors fill and crack the sky
With purple, silver, and golden light
Drawing the day from night
On the shoreline a fisherman
With bait on his line and a rod in his hand
Is ready to greet the day
He turns around to notice me
And the two of us are patiently
Waiting for the sun's rays
Oh, I just need some understanding
And a little love
And somehow I am thinking now
I could get what I've been dreaming of
But this fisherman is closing in
I think he could be crazy
He says, "Won't you ride with me
I could use the company
I've got a fish to catch
And you have got a song to sing"
His eyes were anchors as the boat would sway
"What would you like to say? You have my attention"
"I see you came out here to write your song
But you don't have too long
So show me what you're working with
I'd like to give you a little something
And you may think it's nothing on first listen
In the time it takes for you to make love
You could break love, waste love
And throw it all away
But all you need is faith
And hope will bring a brighter day
And every time that you love
Let it lift someone else up
If somebody tries to burn you
Give him your hand in turn and pick him up
When he's all alone
Now if you find yourself getting frustrated
Try not to get too jaded
Or you could go 'insane' like me"
"I tell you man you must be 'crazy'
Am I always lazy when it comes to love?
With every failure and turning tide
I toss the boomerang but ah
It never comes back to me
Have some faith you say
And hope will find it's way?
Well, I doubt what you're sure of
When it seems to me the greatest of these is love
But it's so hard to love"
Well, we were sitting on his boat
Our backs to each other
He was giving me a little time
And all that he said was hurting my head
Wondering how to leave the selfishness behind
All that I could say is
"It's so hard to love
The way that you want me to"
I stepped off the boat and thanked the man
Not sure what I was thankful for
When I turned back around to see him again
He was already gone
Walking back from the water to my guitar
That's when the light came on
I knew what he was talking about
I knew how to finish my song
Oh I just need some understanding
I need a little love
And I want to sing my song to somebody
Who doubts what they're made of
Oh, we all need some understanding
We all need love
We all need love

Essa música já me salvou tantas vezes 😍
Essa musica é boa mesmo. Aliás, o álbum todo é excelente.
Sublime ❤️
Got to see this song live in Salt Lake City in January. It was a surprise encore! Quite the cheer when the group came back on stage and started playing this!
The year is 2018 and this song still rocks! 🙏👏👏👏
3:58 - 5:55 💖
One of my favorite songs! Just brilliant. And you don't need to be "religious" to appreciate its meaning...
If that is how the song is written, and that is the meaning in the artists heart - you dont have the right to make that statement. If faith is what it is built on, I suggest you get some to appreciate this song. If not, dont try to make yourself feel better by generalizing it when its not yours to apply in the fashion you see fit. Done bro.
Actually music is generally accepted by artists and listeners alike that this medium is entirely up to interpretation, in that most artists know some will see the song from a different perspective and invoke different thoughts. feelings, or meanings. So while I respect your religious views and opinion that this song should be seen as such, acquiring faith is not required... and is in fact here to apply in the fashion we each see fit. That in no way obligates a listener to "generalize" the meaning or basis of the song.
You don't need to be religious to appreciate its meaning. But I can understand how putting "religious" in quotes can probably come off as some sort of negative connotation, which might have had a little to do with your rather standoff-ish response. Regardless, I respect your opinion and I personally love this song. I'm aware of its intended meaning and I'm not too religious but I can still appreciate it as such, but I still find different meaning in this song in a different (deeply personal) way.
This band reminds me a lot of a Christian Ska band and they also had religious songs that I could easily come up with my own meaning. Only one of the songs I really loved really shoved the word Jesus down your throat, but even then it was such a powerful song I didn't mind.
People can believe what they want. As long as the music and content is good, I'll listen.
@Jerry Cervantes Actually he does have the right to make that statement. America is cool like that.
... some fish for GOD and His love... and others fall for the wrong "net" ... a spiders net.
Don't be sorry for me... I am happy about it. :)
blind faith is still faith i guess
@Button Mash yes... but faith in what? that is the question.
faith in the unkown
God doesn't need fish.
They're touring again?! I saw them live in Dothan in 2007. Such a great show! Sad they're no longer together. They were the best at what they do.
