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 song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Lennon's most disposable song, written in a period of (for him) pretty disposable songs.
Yeah, it's pretty disposable - but if he had only fleshed it out. It isn't entirely insipid, is it? It has an 'Everybody's Got Something To Hide....' quality without, unfortunately, feeling fully realized or the time taken on production. The album "Mind Games" did put John into the perceived role of producing his own output for the first time ever - but we already know he has no discipline for attention to detail. Thus, this sounds sloppy when it could have been quite mind-blowing. One of my dreams is to get a hold of the original tapes for these sessions and remix them the right way. The entire collection on this album were really good songs that sank under John's production values. The inside track says that the record company even had someone come in after John to clean up the raggedness.
Well, this song is nonsense obviously. It should have been a rock stomper. Alas.
I like Meat City. Mind Games, Tight A$, Bring on the Lucie, and Out the Blue are all good songs. And the soft songs that lead up to Meat City, I Know (I Know) , and You Are Here, set it up great.
I agree the sound is messed up. But the 2002 remix of the album make it sound a whole lot better. You can actually hear the drum kit cybals. You can't on the original mix. It's weird. It's like it is one solid sound coming out. Maybe this was Lennon's attempt at a wall of sound.
I hadn't heard the record company sent someone in to secretly work on the mix. Maybe it was them that messed it up.
