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”
I saw her yesterday
And I've never I felt the feeling
Like the one I felt today
And now
It's taking over me
I've never met anyone like you
'cause I never could find the words to write you
[Chorus]
She's been on my mind (she's working overtime)
She's got perfect reason's
Said she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she says
Life could be so simple if we all just learned to pray
She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
Tonight
She sits there all alone
And she's reading from the chapter
That she sometimes calls her own
And now
She's taking over me
'cause the girl I once rejected
Has now become the girl of my dreams
[Chorus]
She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
She's not an ordinary girl,
I can see it in her eyes
I'm just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night (oh last night)
She's been on my mind
She's working overtime
She's got perfect reason's
Said she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she said
Life could be so simple if we all just learned to pray
She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
She's not an ordinary girl,
I can see it in her eyes
I'm just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night
And I've never I felt the feeling
Like the one I felt today
And now
It's taking over me
I've never met anyone like you
'cause I never could find the words to write you
[Chorus]
She's been on my mind (she's working overtime)
She's got perfect reason's
Said she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she says
Life could be so simple if we all just learned to pray
She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
Tonight
She sits there all alone
And she's reading from the chapter
That she sometimes calls her own
And now
She's taking over me
'cause the girl I once rejected
Has now become the girl of my dreams
[Chorus]
She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
She's not an ordinary girl,
I can see it in her eyes
I'm just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night (oh last night)
She's been on my mind
She's working overtime
She's got perfect reason's
Said she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she said
Life could be so simple if we all just learned to pray
She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
She's not an ordinary girl,
I can see it in her eyes
I'm just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
The meaning of this song is pretty obvious. It's about a guy and he's in love with this Christian girl. Nice song.

This is ok,.....It kind of takes the meaning out of being a Christian band though, ......You should sing about the God that saved your soul not the woman who thinks God is cool too. but hey what ever floats your boat
Well, Christian music doesn't always have to be directly about God. This song isn't about how he really likes the girl because she's a Christian. He likes her and sees her Christianity in everything she does. In the same way, you can see Hawk Nelson's faith present in their music even when it's not directly talking about their faith.
Justin, I see your point, but i think it also means hes glad hes found someone that he can love, who loves God as much as he does, and thats important to him.
they do sing about God in all of their other songs, and they do in this one too, he's saying he met this girl and shes really made him learn about God it says that when he says "I bet i believe her when she says life can be so simple if we all just learn to pray"
The Lyrics are wrong!!
Saw her yesterday and I NEVER I felt the feeling like I felt today. And now it's taking over. I've never met anyone like you cause I never could find the words to write to you.
She's been on my mind (she's working overtime). She's got perfect reason. She said she love to talk to Jesus. I Think I believe her when she said life could be so simple if we all just learned to pray.
She's got every little thing I wanted and it still feels just like the day it started. I'll say goodbye to the broken hearted and I could never express the way I felt before tonight.
She sits there all alone and she's reading from a chapter that she sometimes calls her own. and now, She's taking over me cause this girl I once rejected has now become the girl of my dreams.
She's not an ordinary girl, I can see it in her eyes. I'm Just an ordinary boy. God must have heard my prayers last night.
Thats how it goes.
Anyways now that those little fixes are made.
This song is about him falling in love with a Christian girl who's faith is just plain awesome.
She teaches and shows him things about faith that really impact his life and just make him to fall even more in love with her. She has impacted his life and brought him closer to God.
He knows she is someone special who God has placed into his life and he doesn't even know if he deserves it, she is the answer to many of his prayers.
This song makes me think of my girlfriend and I relly like playing it when she is around. I am beginning to feel more and more like he does everyday.
I need to check the liner notes to make sure that is completely right, I am not 100% sure.
this song is simply awesome:)..I love God btw..
