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.
PJ:
I'm so fucking, fucking, fucking, hot!
Vincent:
I know you are, babe.
PJ:
No, it's quite hot in here.
Vincent:
Are you stupid?
It is the nature of a glass house.
Oh fabulous, here's Matthew and Bjork.
Bjork:
Hello.
Matthew:
Vincent, Polly - So good to see you.
Bjork:
I'm so excited!
I've never been on such an artistic and exclusive double date before.
The erotic reawakening that Matthew has brought about in me...
He's opened up a lot of plebeian activities that I've not... experienced before now. I'm loving it, to do these things that aren't necessarily elfin...
Vincent:
Yea, Bjork, whatever.
I just wanna know when you two go down, who's wearing the clovenhoof strap-on?
PJ:
Vincent! How rude!
Could I weigh any less? I'm really quite shy of my weight, but I like to take on characters for performing with the use of make-up. Eye make-up and--and lipstick and--some more lipstick -- it's really quite transformative! And when I've thrown up everything I've just eaten then I feel--
Bjork:
Oh to throw up -- It means what?
Also, everybody, what is the definition of disingenuous?
I want to know so many things.
I've got a lot of money for designer clothes.
I can just trudge through the desert getting my Comme des Garзons skirt all dirty and dusty...
It don't matter.
If hopping into a live volcano feels right, I say do it.
Matthew:
I say, khaki chinos are fine with me on the downtime, but what do you kids say to a picnic?
I've got the basket in the bentley...
We could play some touch football, what do you say?
Vincent:
Hey, yeah, Matthew, we're both hot former football players
I know Bjork can fight like a motherfucker, but Polly would snap-- like a twig--at the smallest tackle
Let's put her on a hook and do some minnow fishing
Polly?
Oh look, she's banging her head against the wall!... and Bjork's recording it
Bjork:
The rhythm! It moves my insides like sunshine jelly!
Matthew:
Isn't she a darling thing?
Vincent:
When she says 'jelly' it makes me think of someone's ass, and then I think--
Matthew:
How dare you, sir! That's my childwoman you're speaking of!
Vincent:
Matthew, I didn't say Bjork.
I'm just thinking of any ass.
Not even necessarily a woman, it could be my own ass.
Like my ass is--
PJ:
Vincent you are an ass!
You are an ass!
Matthew:
What about my ass?
It's hard from sports

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."
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
Radio Saturday, Vincent is Vincent Gallo, the actor, musician, director, etc. he dated PJ Harvey at one time. Matthew is Matthew Barney, Bjork's steady and father of her most recent child. he's a director- he did the Creamaster Cycle and Drawing Restraint 9, which Bjork did the music for
The band is obviously extremely out of it due to excesive ether use.
Jazzie, what do you mean out of it? Also, it's just Melora doing all their voices right? Man, she's hilarious.
"i want to know so many things"
Ha! Brilliant!
Oh, the hilarity
Who exactly are Vincent and Matthew? I know Bjork and PJ, but the others, the men?
I love that it's "brought to you by the Church of the Latter Day Saints, though. Heh.
Bjork has kids, did not know
