And between 19 and 40, for tea will have changed me. And turning from the invading light on my naked room, my naked room. Our coffee stains and dusty coughing. You're always dressed and buttoned up. And your hair pinned up in circles worn like a widow to second the motion of second nature. Like two rafts knotted and still where sound is lost and found. But I fear its all coming back to me. Under that threat of sky we lie together, why care about the weather. It only ends in dark.

    ahhh hang on, the order's wrong... it should be:

    And your hair pinned up in circles worn like a widow to second the motion of second nature. Like two rafts knotted and still where sound is lost and found. But I fear its all coming back to me. Under that threat of sky we lie together, why care about the weather. It only ends in darkness.

    You're always dressed and buttoned up. You're always dressed and buttoned up.

    And between 19 and 40, for tea will have changed me. And turning from the invading light on my naked room, my naked room. Our coffee stains and dusty coughing.

    You're always dressed and buttoned up.

    they are kind of emo, more so than alot of the bands people call emo nowadays... promise ring are kind of post-emo almost it's hard to explain but just think of The Get Up Kids, Texas Is The Reason, Jimmy Eat World (circa and pre Static Prevails)... it's all linked to emo music... besides that was before you knew it existed because you were about 9. don't mean to be patronising but it's true.

    "Why care about the weather...It only ends in dark." It sounds like an emo-core equivalent to that "Don't sweat the small stuff" book.

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."

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.
