Lights come on from neighbors woken up and the flash, our cue for the dash to the car to the, back porch where we laugh and we pass to the left and reflect on expected repetitiveness. The dial didn't slip an inch from that station.

Chorus: We were floating in your room to the songs of classic jazz flowing all night long. As long as we're leading our lives, it's music that still makes us come out at night for good times.

Lighten up cause its summer and we're just having fun. We're too young to be out-running and ducking the fuzz. But your room was a safe and a spacious place with the clarinet filling the entire thing. The dial didn't slip an inch from that station that would play the hits of our grandparents' time, while I flawlessly chime in at the hit of the ride and say.... I'm floating

(Chorus)

Static... There's nothing but static programmed by popular demand... and then a light appeared directly over my head and it illuminated as great as the idea that came. It was simple; we just won't listen to commercials or the same ten songs over and over...

(Chorus)

I'm flying from your room to the sun with classic jazz still spilling from my lungs.

    Supposidly this song is about weed. The class ic jazz is the feeling is gives you, the "high"ness which is soo true. Everything is so much better and everything is a lot of fun which and the music helps bring them together for good times. The melody is incredable and the lyrics match it well . One of the best , and maybe it will be on the new record may 10th, but i doubt it.

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."
