And I don't believe it
Is she really gone again?
And I don't believe it
Is she really gone again?

I'll find a way to you someday
I'll find a way to you someday

And I don't believe it
Is she really gone again?
And I don't believe it
Is she really gone again?

I'll find a way to you someday
I'll find a way to you someday

Father's always smokin'
And your mom's at church on Tuesday
And your brother's always drinkin' and dyin'

Father's always smokin'
And your mom's at church on Tuesday
And your brother's always drinkin' and dyin'

And I don't believe it
Is she really gone again?
And I don't believe it
Is she really gone again?

I'll find a way to you someday
I'll find a way to you someday

Father's always smokin'
And your mom's at church on Tuesday
And your brother's always drinkin' and dyin'

Father's always smokin'
And your mom's at church on Tuesday
And your brother's always drinkin' and dyin'

Father's always smokin'
And your mom's at church on Tuesday
And your brother's always drinkin' and dyin'

Father's always smokin'
And your mom's at church on Tuesday
And your brother's always drinkin' and dyin'

Father's always smokin'
And your mom's at church on Tuesday
And your brother's always drinkin' and dyin'

Father's always smokin'
And your mom's at church on Tuesday
And your brother's always drinkin' and dyin'

Father's always smokin'
And your mom's at church on Tuesday
And your brother's always drinkin' and dyin'

Father's always smokin'
And your mom's at church on Tuesday

    does anyone ethink No.4 is a concept album??

    After listening to this album alot I think this whole album is completely about Scott's addiction and it leading to the downfall of his first marriage.

    Down-The addiction kicks in. Scott keeps asking the drug what its point is, the drug's "response" is "You're all mine now."

    Heaven and Hotrods- The regret for trying heroin in the first place kicks in. "You don't get it, if you've never had it so you better off just leave it alone."

    Pruno-Scott's arrests, more references to his heroin addiction and his search for answers

    Church on Tuesday. Janina (I think that was her name?) leaves Scott. He thinks this is only temporary and he'll find his way back to her.

    Sour Girl-Scott realizes his wife is leading a happier life without him.

    No Way Out-Depressed and his addiction taking over, Scott feels without a family anymore, still trying to find the "answer" to what the meaning of his addiction to heroin is.

    Sex and Violence-The anger over the divorce kicks in and Scott begins to blame her for his current state.

    Glide-Not sure exactly. I can tell it has something to do with heroin once again and its control over him but I can't really figure that one out.

    I Got You-Scott isn't singing to a girl like it would seem like on the surface, its him coming to terms with his own addiction and that he needs help.

    MC5-Reprise of themes from Heaven and Hotrods, you won't get it unless you try it.

    Atlanta-Scott coming to emotional terms with his divorce, calming down, and remembering the good times with his wife. Moving on.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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."

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
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.
