It's True That We Love One Another (feat. Holly Golighty)

The White Stripes

All: Well it's true that we love one another

Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother

Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you

Holly: Jack give me some money to pay my bills

Jack: All the dough I give you Holly
You been using on pain pills

Holly: Jack will you call me if you're able?

Jack: I got your phone number written
In the back of my bible

Holly: Jack I think your pulling my leg
And I think maybe I better ask Meg
Meg do you think Jack really loves me?

Meg: You know, I don't care because
Jack really bugs me
Why don't you ask him now?

Holly: Well I would but Meg
I really just don't know how

Meg: Just say 'Jack , do you adore me?'

Jack: Well I would Holly but love really bores me

All: Then i guess we should just be friends

Jack: I'm just kidding Holly
You know that I'll love you 'til the end

All: Well it's true that we love one another

Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother

Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you
Holly give me some of your English lovin'

Holly: If I did that Jack I'd have one in the oven
Why don't you go off and love yourself

Jack: If I did that Holly there won't be anything
Left for anybody else

Holly: Jack it's too bad about the way you look

Jack: You know I gave that horse a carrot
So he'd break your foot

Meg: Will the two of you cut it out
And tell 'em what it's really all about

All: Well it's true that we love one another

Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother

Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about 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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
