She forgot to lay the eggs,
She forgot to lay the eggs,
sheshaw sheshaw.
Penny didn't have no whistle aww,
sheshaw sheshaw.
She forgot to lay the eggs,
sheshaw sheshaw.
Diamonds are in the horses stable aww,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
Diamonds in the horses stable aww,
The dancers didn't have their feet at all,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
Penny didn't have to whistle aww,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
She forgot to lay the eggs at all,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
Families in the graveyards diggin aww,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
She forgot to lay the eggs aww,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
Bones they say the weather's changing aww,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
Penny didn't have no whistle aww,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
The dancers didn't have their feet at all,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
The diamonds in the horses- sheshaw.
She forgot to lay the eggs aww,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
The dancers didn't have their feet at all,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
The dancers didn't have their feet at all,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
She forgot to lay the eggs aww,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
The families in the graveyards digging aww,
Sheshaw sheshaw.
She forgot how to use the law,
Sheshaw sheshaw

    "I remember laughing when I first heard it and asking what all that shawshawshawshaw business was about," said Rutili. "Isaac told me that when he was a kid his mom had all these Lithuanian records and he used to play them all the time. He couldn't understand the words but they were the only music that was around and he loved to sing along. He'd just sing shawshawshaw with the records. I thought that was perfect. Things like that always leak in."

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
