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.
Don’t stop
Get it out
Don’t leave a brother hangin’ when he’s holdin out
I can’t believe this rock show’s totally bitchin’
And I know that you want to be like me
But you look so out of place
And I know you got no style
Everybody come on
I got a raised truck that’s totally bomb
When you’re hangin’ with the bros it’s guaranteed
Look it’s your mom
We're givin'
High fives to all the guys
High fives to all the guys
High fives to all the guys
Props to the homies in the field
Whoa-yeah
So we’re rockin’ out
After school
Parking lot
Its party time, good tunes bumpin’ from my truck
I can’t believe we look so totally bitchin’
And I know that you want to be like us
But you look so out of place
And I know you got no style
Everybody come on
I got a raised truck that’s totally bomb
When you’re hangin’ with the bros it’s guaranteed
Sex at the prom
We're givin'
High fives to all the guys
High fives to all the guys
High fives to all the guys
You just forgot your girlfriend even existed
When the bros showed up and things got totally bitchin’
Whoa-yeah-yeah-yeah
We’re rockin’ out
And I see
You're looking too fight
But I don't care how you're feelin' tonight
You and me
Lets step outside
Go, go, go-go-go, let's go
Don’t leave it hangin’, when you're holdin' out
Unless there's something better to do
High fives to all the guys
High fives to all the guys
High fives to all the guys
Maybe I’ll stretch my ears a little bigger
If I get a tattoo, the girls will come even quicker
Whoa-yeah, Whoa-yeah
And we’re rockin’ out
Yeah, yeah we’re rockin’ out
One, Two High fives
High fives to all the guys
High fives to all the guys
High fives to all the guys
Props to the homies in the field
When your best friend finally copped a feel
Get it out
Don’t leave a brother hangin’ when he’s holdin out
I can’t believe this rock show’s totally bitchin’
And I know that you want to be like me
But you look so out of place
And I know you got no style
Everybody come on
I got a raised truck that’s totally bomb
When you’re hangin’ with the bros it’s guaranteed
Look it’s your mom
We're givin'
High fives to all the guys
High fives to all the guys
High fives to all the guys
Props to the homies in the field
Whoa-yeah
So we’re rockin’ out
After school
Parking lot
Its party time, good tunes bumpin’ from my truck
I can’t believe we look so totally bitchin’
And I know that you want to be like us
But you look so out of place
And I know you got no style
Everybody come on
I got a raised truck that’s totally bomb
When you’re hangin’ with the bros it’s guaranteed

High fives to all the guys
High fives to all the guys

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."
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.
awesome, hilarious song
