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”
don't try asking
cause i never know what to say
except just everything
a few minutes later in the day
how come everyone else seems so happy
and have intelligent things to say
cause you know that isn't me
i think i'd be happy if it was a saturday
and yeah if only it was saturday! saturday!
things would be better in everyway, everyway
and i would be okay
cause then i would start
to try to find a way to say,
"hey there you are"
i need to find a way to be and sound smart
i need to find a way, but man...its so hard
i need to think that just not anything will do
i need to think its time
its time for me and you
to be a phrase that i would always use
in the context like i belong to you
and yeah if only it was saturday! saturday!
things would be better in everyway, everyway
and i would be okay
and yeah if only it was saturday! saturday!
things would be better then what today is today
and i would surely say
that i'd be here for you
and i hope that you'd be too
and i'll tell the truth
say that i need you...yeah i do
but i know you might not care
but i need you everywhere
take a breath
and close my eyes
and just think about this and sigh....
i need you please to save me
i wanna be your baby
i wanna see you and me together this saturday
and yeah if only it was saturday! saturday!
things would be better in everyway, everyway
and i would be okay
and yeah if only it was saturday! saturday!
things would be better then what today is today
i would surely say
all the times i've been afraid
well i'm gonna make it this saturday
cause i never know what to say
except just everything
a few minutes later in the day
how come everyone else seems so happy
and have intelligent things to say
cause you know that isn't me
i think i'd be happy if it was a saturday
and yeah if only it was saturday! saturday!
things would be better in everyway, everyway
and i would be okay
cause then i would start
to try to find a way to say,
"hey there you are"
i need to find a way to be and sound smart
i need to find a way, but man...its so hard
i need to think that just not anything will do
i need to think its time
its time for me and you
to be a phrase that i would always use
in the context like i belong to you
and yeah if only it was saturday! saturday!
things would be better in everyway, everyway
and i would be okay

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."
