In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I feel it eating in me,
while you still drown me.
And cross the line over and over again.
It's all around me,
now I'm here cause of you.
Now I'm falling,
I'm falling out cause of you.
Now I'm falling,
deeper into you.
I'm tired of hating myself;
I can't let me cross the line for her.
I'm not me when I dream,
there's someone else in me.
That I fear cause of you.
Now I'm falling,
I'm falling out cause of you.
Now I'm falling,
deeper into you.
I'm not me when I dream,
I'm not me when I dream, anymore.
Because of you.
Now I’m falling
I’m falling out cuz of you
Now I’m falling
I’m falling out cuz of you
Now I’m falling
I’m falling out cuz of you
Now I’m falling
deeper into you
while you still drown me.
And cross the line over and over again.
It's all around me,
now I'm here cause of you.
Now I'm falling,
I'm falling out cause of you.
Now I'm falling,
deeper into you.
I'm tired of hating myself;
I can't let me cross the line for her.
I'm not me when I dream,
there's someone else in me.
That I fear cause of you.
Now I'm falling,
I'm falling out cause of you.
Now I'm falling,
deeper into you.
I'm not me when I dream,
I'm not me when I dream, anymore.
Because of you.
Now I’m falling
I’m falling out cuz of you
Now I’m falling
I’m falling out cuz of you
Now I’m falling
I’m falling out cuz of you
Now I’m falling
deeper into you

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
ok, i'm suppost to see this band w/ adema, well if it is they're still ganna play after the show rescheculed, n-ways, ya, can some one fill me in on this band???

trustco. is AMAZiNG & this is def their best song
i dont know how to rate but ill give it a 10 out of 5
TRUSTcomparny rocks
i believe that this song is about how someone's losing their sense of self in a relationship, as if she wants him to change something about himself and makes him feel guilty because of it. the conflict is that he doesn't want to change, but loves her too much to straight out say no, so he's caught up in this ongoing interior conflict that he can't escape even in his dreams. you can take that and run with it... but that's just what it means to me.
i think this so is kinda like adema's giving in it's sort of talkin about a controling realtionship and trying to get out but not trying hard enough
Tired of hating myself I can't let me Cross the line for her I'm not here in a dream It's someone else in me
