I know it's hard to understand right now
After all you've been through somehow
These four words might not mean a thing
But as time passes
I think you'll hear the church bells ringin'
Everything's gonna be alright
I can tell by the way I feel this time
Everything's gonna be alright
I've been sitting up
All night long
Ever since the early mornin'
When you called
I can't describe
This idle haze and rage
I just wish I'd see you
Walk through that door again
It's about love
It's about time
It's about makin' it through the night
Everything's gonna be alright
Down in the basement
I heard the speakers say
What do you really want to do
Out in the sunshine
I heard the sunshine say
Won't you come outside
I wash the table
And I clean the clothes
I hum along
To the radio
Somehow I thought
I could deal with this a little better
I still think I can
With a little help from my friends
So catch the wind in the morning light
I close my eyes I still hear your voice
But that's not...my imagination...
Is it really you...
It's about love
It's about life
It's about makin' it through the night
Everything gonna be alright
It's about love
It's about life
It's about me
It's about time
Everything's gonna be alright

    this song is simply about trust. Sometimes you just have to take your partners word that the sun is going to come up the next morning. Kevn Kinney is a GOD.

Little Feat
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."
