At One,
I was sitting and thiking of all the beautiful things he could have become,
Instead of a lyrical oracle
and I'm a most appreciative one,
'Cause i'm in a world of my own, when I'm into it,
And I don't want anything else,
And nothing can bother me,
when I'm inside of me,
'cause I'm outside of myself

Midnight Marauder spinning on my stereo,
Mr. Desmond Deker got a crown made of gold,
The kids are alright,
A-what a-what I hear,
London calling, but I have no fear
Miss Ella Fitzgerald got no peer,
The music sweet music make the truth so clear
Classics of love make a dark day light,
If you don't believe the words,
then just look into their eyes

Sun shining, Sun shining,
Sun shining,Shining down,
on a cloudy day,
I know those songs gonna last forever,
that's what I say

At two
I'm running around in my mind,
And my mind's a fucking zoo
One of the ones, under the gun
wondering "what do I do?"
Ever feel the same way
Slave to the brain waves
brave if you pave ways
Through to the true you
If you take me out, please don't forget to take me home,
If you take me to a party, don't forget the microphone,
If we take my car then please don't try to touch the radio,
'Cause the midnight sun is burning bringing peace into my soul

Sun shining, sun shining
sun shining, shining down
On a cloudy day,
I know those songs gonna last forever,
That's what I say

Calling, Calling,
Now I'm listening to the classics of love
In the day or night,
You got the power, radiate and fade
You got the vibe, make you feel alright
Come on

Sun shining, sun shining,
sun shining, shining down
on a cloudy day,
I know those songs gonna last forever
Sun shining, sun shining
sun shining, shining down
on a cloudy day,
I know those songs gonna last forever,
That's what I say

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."
