This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
One, two
You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don't get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me, go
Yeah, go but remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe, when I found you
You put a hand on my cheek
And then you turned your eyes away
If you don't feel complete
If I don't take you all of the way then go
Yeah, go but remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe, when I found you
Yeah, go just go, but remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe, when I found you
You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don't get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me, go
Yeah, go but remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe, when I found you
You put a hand on my cheek
And then you turned your eyes away
If you don't feel complete
If I don't take you all of the way then go
Yeah, go but remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe, when I found you
Yeah, go just go, but remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe, when I found you

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Actually I got the feeling that the guy feels good about himself.
If you want to leave, then go because you'll never find a better man than me. You got lucky, when I found you.
Cool tune.
yeah... he knows he's vulnerable, but he's not going to take any shit.<br /> <br /> compare to lou rawls' "girl you're gonna miss my loving" which is a little warmer...
False bravado. He doesn't say, "you got lucky when you found me", he says, "ypu got lucky when I found you", and sings it with a little catch in his voice. He was the lucky one, but his pride won't let him come out and say it.
The ultimate we might be breaking up but I still love you song. Amazing beat, and superb lyrics. One of Tom Petty's best.
@Kozmic Tequila Agree. It is one of TPs most under sung songs.
I totally agree with the comments, you nailed it.. it's all about who did the choosing and who had the upper hand.. even though there is an obvious nod to the fact that it's really all subjective and more than likely the narrator was not the one in control. This is wonderfully borne out by the tremendously creative video in how it manages to find a creative complement, almost a counter point, to the song. The band members are playing rolls, kind of crusty traveler types, but it's in the future. And we know they are who they are, the rock star guys, too.. there's a little tongue in cheek to it.. but what relates to the song so nicely as the kind of further extension on the theme of the song, is how the seem to be wandering around aimlessly in some kind of semi-purposeful obscelence.. the setting is that of one of, what do you call it? A post-world? I forgot but you probably know what I mean.
@caucasian Post-apocalyptic... saw others critical of the music video, but it's actually very creatively enlightening when you think about it. <br /> <br /> The aftermath of any breakup feels like the end-of-the-world, and it's only in the future that you can assess whether all of your past decisions were the "right thing to do."
@caucasian I actually read an interview by TP where he stated that the narrator of the song was incredibly hurt and it is from that standpoint from where it is written. The narrator of the song comes off as incredibly confident, but he is really hurting underneath
It's about a girl that wants to brek up the relationship but he's saying you're never gonna find anyone as good as me.
I take it to mean that his woman is breaking up with him, and he's saying, "Screw you. I'm better than you could ever hope to deserve." Then again, I have a pretty dim view of this whole romance thing, so maybe I got it wrong. On a different note, does anyone get why that made THAT video for THIS song? Both are good, but they don't seem to be related at all.
This is my song! I love it. How can you say anything better than this? To tell someone that if they believe that you're not good enough for them than leave, but you better think twice about it because they're losing something good.
this is one of my favorite tp songs i thought there'd be more comments. i agree that the girl is trying to break up with him and he's telling her to go but then saying "BUT, remember good love is hard to find" and so he's telling her to go but i'm not sure that he means it. he really wants her to know that she got lucky and that she won't find anything like him again. i looooveeee the video. it has nothing to do with the songs but it's awesome!
My wife recently kicked me out. On my way out the door I quoted her a line from this song. I hope every time she hears it she remembers not only me, but what I said.
Yeah, Babe, if you can do better, go.
Probably unintended, but this song is the quintessential guide map for how a man should manage his relationship(s) with women. The elements associated with a woman's hypergamy are on display here, but more importantly, the correct yet uncomfortable way that a man should deal with these realities is laid bare. I say uncomfortable because nearly all men want to "keep" that special person who is dear to him. He will sacrifice many things in his life, including his dignity, to save what cannot be saved. It is one of the most pathetic things that men do. "If you don't feel complete. If I can't take you all of the way, then go..." means that, the moment HE realizes that he is no longer her priority, then the relationship is over...regardless of whether she is able to muster the courage to communicate it. In short, Petty is saying, "Don't waste my life."
