"The Waiting" is the lead single from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' album Hard Promises released in 1981. The song peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #1 on the magazine's new Rock Tracks chart, where it remained for six consecutive weeks during the summer of 1981.[3]
Frontman Tom Petty explained that the song's title was inspired by a quote from fellow musician Janis Joplin, who once said of touring, "I love being onstage and everything else is just waiting."[4] He recalled:
That's where I think I got it from ... [Roger] McGuinn swears that he said it to me. Maybe he did. I don't think so. I think I got it from the Janis Joplin quote. That's where it stuck in my mind. I don't think she said, 'The waiting is the hardest part,' but it was something to that effect: 'Everything else is just waiting.' And so that's where that came from.[4]
I bought a couple of songs on iTunes on my Macbook Pro. Everything is turned "on" for the iCloud on both my Mac and my iPhone 5 (iOS7), and everything is under the same account. For the last few months, I've had to plug my phone into my laptop to sync my music the old-fashioned way, because my songs would say "Waiting..." in the iTunes>Downloads section on my phone (for days!). What is wrong and how can I fix it?
I was having a song in the download section in the iTunes Store app. It was stuck in "waiting...." mode, draining my battery. I was enable to stop it. I went in the Music app, searched for the song, found it. Next to it, you should found the little red circle in action with the square ( stop ) in the middle. Just press it and the cloud will come back. Now if you go back in iTunes Store app, in the downloads section, the song will disappear.
It sounds like your automatic downloads are getting stuck on waiting on this phone, when you purchase music on another device. I noticed in your screenshot that they do indeed show as Waiting, but that you are not connected to wifi. I would recommend checking that iTunes and App stores are set to use Cellular data:
I'm playing ogg sound files from a list generated from my selected music file directory. For some reason the first song is skipped and it plays starting from the second song. For some reason it plays a split second of the first song occasionally which leads me to believe there's an issue on how I'm trying to queue the songs from a list in a loop but I can't seem to fix it.
Brooklyn-based artist Isabella Komodromos has released her debut EP, Crossing Countries Drenched in Blood, under her solo project, Bella Litsa. The album includes "The Waiting Song," a beautiful track that showcases the Berklee alum's singer-songwriter prowess.
Litsa originally wrote "The Waiting Song" as a poem but ultimately transformed it into a track after receiving positive feedback in a songwriting class at Berklee. Her close friends, musicians Ryan Saavedra and True Swayne, had similar reactions when they first heard it and collaborated with her on the EP.
As for the song's meaning, Litsa notes it ebbs and flows. "I don't think there's necessarily one meaning, though I can tell you that I definitely wrote it out of a depressive episode," she says. "Sometimes, I'll attach myself to some stanzas more than others, and they'll just resonate with me throughout my life in different ways."

Waiting can be one of the most trying challenges a person will face in life. Whether we are waiting for our big break or for true love to show itself, the ache is difficult to ignore. As time crawls by, we begin to doubt the process will end.

Using poignant words and beautiful instrumentals to illustrate the passing of time, Christina Perri tells her beloved that she would wait a thousand years if it meant that they would meet again.
How many love songs speak of waiting for a dear one to return on a train? The very sight of one in a movie sparks nostalgia in our hearts, a longing for those times when lovers waited by the train tracks to receive that special someone.
In this famous rock song, The Rolling Stones remind us of the value of good friendship. Romantic relationships come and go, but your best pals will stick with you no matter what life throws at you. They are honest, their advice given to help you rather than seduce you. A real friend and the security they provide are worth the wait.
Heartbreak Station, a ballad by bluesy-rock band Cinderella, talks about a different sort of waiting. It is about the emptiness that ensues after lost love, those horrible weeks when the numbness has passed and loneliness begins to sink in.
As the heart begins its gradual healing after a failed relationship, we might find ourselves sitting in our pain, waiting for a memory to comfort us. The question is whether these memories help us or only cause the pain to drag on.
Waiting can be a period of confusion, no matter what it is that you are hoping will arrive. Sometimes we find ourselves waiting for the wrong thing; as a result, the thing we want so badly seems to pass us by.
Adele stuns us with her trademark rich voice in this upbeat song about failed love. She acknowledges that that her own flaws played a part in the ending of the relationship, as well as the elements working against them.
Love can sometimes appear to others as madness. In this song a man is waiting for his soulmate to return and refuses to move. His loyalty knows no bounds and he does not care if people are staring at him and his campsite on the street.
It is a sobering reminder that no opportunity should be passed up in the pursuit of happiness. It might seem like a simple choice when you first refuse it, but if fear or confusion cause you to continually say no, it can become a habit. One day you might find yourself regretting the chances you missed because you kept on waiting.

This study examines the development of two neural pathways within the zebra finch forebrain that function respectively in the juvenile acquisition and the adult production of learned song. In the adult male zebra finch forebrain, the song nuclei L-MAN and HVc both innervate nucleus RA; L-MAN plays a crucial role in juvenile song acquisition but, unlike HVc and RA, is not essential for adult song production. Previous studies have shown that HVc axons arrive at the dorsal border of RA as early as posthatch day 15 (day 15), and only enter the male RA after days 25-30, but never enter the female RA. The present study examines the development of axonal projections from L-MAN to RA and finds that, in contrast to HVc axons, L-MAN terminals are present within the male and female RA by day 15, and persist there throughout adult life. Unlike RA-projecting HVc neurons, HVc neurons projecting to area X innervate this target by day 20. Like L-MAN, area X plays a transient role in song acquisition. These results suggest that in the zebra finch forebrain, neural pathways essential to juvenile song learning develop before those needed for adult song production.

"Waiting for Love" by Avicii has been out for a while now; it was released on May 22, 2015, and it's still going strong, with over 184,000,000 plays on Spotify. And I'm sure we'll be seeing where this song and other hits from the album rank on the Billboard Hot 100 next week. For my part, I think "Waiting for Love" is likely the most solid track on the album--probably a reason it seems to have been used as the lead single. It's exciting and energetic and has just enough of a smattering of deep ideas and thoughts to make listeners ask some deeper questions.
I also have to say: the music video for this song is fun. In it, an older man falls asleep and, when he awakes, can't find his wife. He hops on his dusty, unused motorized chair and begins driving all over town and through the countryside to find her. The imagery is a little surreal and suggests that for him this is an epic quest.
Of course, he soon grows tired of the club, finding no satisfaction in the drink or women there that these other men enjoy, and he continues searching for a higher, deeper love (likely the entire message of the song encapsulated in about 15 seconds of film). He won't be satisfied with the sex alone (what many think of as love) at the club and longs for his friend, his best friend, his wife.
