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.
whats my name? mc. and what do I do? rap. mds screaming need 50 ccs of mc stat.
er staff be freakin like mariah on the rag. mc chris squeezin contents out of tiny
plastic bags. its like hypnotizin eyes and gettin digits on the pad. legs seperate
like hyphens because mcs still the mack. identify the items by the bar code on the
tag. identify the rapper cuz hes knee deep in the vag. I got my glocks cocked, I got
my nines primed, I got my crosshairs locked on kelly lebrocks behind, I got my lungs
locked on chemotherapy kind, I got more rhyme than shel silverstein and shakespeare
combined.
chorus-
I sound like a ten year old or so Ive been told, but you dont need a voice
thats low to make the microphone gold. others claim that they be midas but they got
laryngitis, so whyncha kick it with the mc with the voice thats the highest. so come on.
whats my name? mc. and what do I do? rock. Im intimidating jocks and inseminating socks,
Im infiltrating flocks of fembots, high off that hemlock, mud wrestling bittie buttocks
like ox. lets knock chucks cuz we cant afford boots. lets get high aka pull tubes.
dont ask why, just let it all loose, watch this mike get abused, watch me change your
attitude. call me gavin, Im the captain of this carnival cruise. kathie lee lets me rub
my dick on her boobs. seems tweens in cleavage jeans is many a mans muse, all mc needs
is just a bucket of booze. watch me, blow a load on your butt tattoo, watch me, come back
for seconds like its chinese food. no one can hear you scream, cuz its a soundproof
room. Im done, get the fuck out, send in number two!
repeat chorus
whats my name? mc. and what do I do? roll. Im all up in that shit like its fuckin camel
toe. olsen twins on my dick like its a stripper pole. if youre hooked on the shit, my
middle name is methadone. so, lets do this quick so no one will ever know. mc nice got
more ice than a fuckin eskimo. hes not whack nickleback singing songs for michelobe.
jigga man, why you treat me like animal? at the mall, at the park, rollerink, backyard,
soft hearted bard who makes the hardcore hard. I weigh a buck fiddy, stand 5.5, and when
I muff dive, you see the fuckin fur fly. dont own a celly, my sneakers is my ride, been
disgraced, demoted, I been denied. all my fan mail says someday that Ill get signed.
mc chris, lower case, no dots, rewind.

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
mc chris has always caught flack by other rappers because he has a high voice but mc chris has the greatest rhymes and that is all he wanted to say in this song.
