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 found a girl who can drink some PBR
I found a girl who can change the oil in my car
She was standing in the checkout line that's when she caught my eye
Buying diapers and chicken pot pie
My white trash girl
You rock my world and i can't wait to see you girl
Yeah yeah yeah
My white trash girl
You've got a crazy ex-husband i think his name is earl
But i don't care
She asked me to come over when she got off work
She showed me her collection of airbrushed lynard skynard t-shirts
We've got nothing in common but we get along just fine
As long as the kid isn't mine
My white trash girl
You rock my world and i can't wait to see you girl
Yeah yeah yeah
My white trash girl
You've got a crazy ex-husband i think his name is earl
But i don't care
Cuz you're the one for me and i'll tell you when i knew
The moment you showed me that harley davidson tattoo
And then when you told me i looked like blink-182
Oh white trash girl i fell in love with you
One day she told me that she had to go away
Her daddy can't stand me and on top of that he thinks i'm gay
But i'll always think about the times that we shared
Cuz i still got a pair of her underwear
My white trash girl
You rock my world and i can't wait to see you girl
Yeah yeah yeah
My white trash girl
You've got a crazy ex-husband i think his name is earl
But i don't care
I fell in love with you...
I found a girl who can change the oil in my car

My white trash girl
You've got a crazy ex-husband i think his name is earl
But i don't care

She showed me her collection of airbrushed lynard skynard t-shirts

I fell in love with 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."

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.
