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.
Down, down, down
Pick me up, I'm falling
Down, down, down
Pick me up, I'm falling
Down, down, down
Pick me up, I'm falling
Down, down, down
Pick me up, I'm falling
Pick me up, I'm falling
Down, down, down
Pick me up, I'm falling
Down, down, down
Pick me up, I'm falling
Down, down, down
Pick me up, I'm falling

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."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I love this song even though it doesnt sound like blink at all. Travis really pulled out the guns on this one.
this is a great musical composition. it's fun to listen to with headphones in the middle of the night when you have nothing better to do.
I love this song. It sounds incredible on the system in my Jeep. Ahh.. I can't wait to listen to it again.. heh.. great bass line.
Good lord put some more comments on this. Talk about experimenting and taking chances, this is the album. Travis Barker is a genious as he shows hes better than just drums on this amazing track, awesome instrumental.
always2late...you said it. travis barker is definately awesome.
did travis do this? in the booklet of the cd, travis is talking about a guy called jack that made it, he says "Reminds me of driving in a car, jaded. Jack is the shit, we gave him a beat to work with at the end of Down, and i told him to elaborate on it. he wrote cool melodies, guitar and bass. i came in an switched the beat to get into the track, and did some cool percussion. It's a cool chill song to listen to and just think" so it sounds like all travis did was drum
i think this song is pretty weird and y'know what it means to me? call me crazy but i think it is going deeper and deeper into trouble and you are asking for help. the reason there are no other lyrics could be because normally, when yiu ask for help not everyone understands yiu and not everybody always gets your message. my sister thins it's hell they are falling into, but y'know....
Yeah. its about a guy who's clearly asking for help. "Pick me up I'm falling.." Maybe he just got over a serious relationship and he's seriously down and wants someone to help him get out of his hole and help him out. Or maybe it's about an addiction... I dunno
it really shows tht the guys can do more than just sing but make it a beautiful piece of composition too. its so calming 1/2 way thro the album. lets u think.
okay billiejoeismygod, it seems to me that your one of those kids who picks either Green Day or Blink 182, and then you always dis on the other band all this sh*t like "Green Day vs. Blink" is SO EFFING OLD
they are both very good bands
who ever the heck made that song, it does sound awesome, but never question Travis, he is a very talented drummer. he started when he was two years old, he took right over after scott ran off, he does all of the songs better then scott EVER did.
