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.
[Speaking]
Sometimes in life
You come across a woman
Its just undeniable
And you searched for her so long
If finally hits you in your face
What did you do
Never knew too much about being in love
But I'm letting you show me
Now I can't do without feeling your touch,
Baby When you hold me
Every day's a holiday since you came my way, baby
It's more than I can say you'll forever be my babe
(All I want to is you, babe)
[Chorus]
All I want to do is stay in love with you
What about you babe (What about baby)
I've got you babe (I've baby)
If they ask me all I want to is you (all I want is you)
So can we make this true
What about you babe (Ohhhh)
I got you babe (Ohhhh)
All I want to do
Sometimes if feels like it took
A million years for me to be happy
(Oh, oh, oh)
Its almost like a dream
But your standing right here
Looking right at me
(Every days a holiday)
Every day's a holiday since you came my way, baby
(Baby, it's a game I play)
It's more than I can say (More that I can say)
you'll forever be my babe (forever be my babe)
(All I want to do, babe)
[Chorus]
All I want to do (aw babe) is stay in love with you
What about you babe (What about baby)
I've got you babe (I've baby)
If they ask me all I want to is you (all I want is you)
So can we make this true
What about you babe
I got you babe
All I want to do
I know that this could last forever
(We should last forever if you'll believe it, babe)
If you think we should be together (oh babe)
All I want is you baby!
[Chorus]
All I want to do is stay in love with you
What about you babe
I've got you babe (I've got you baby)
If they ask me all I want to is you (all I want is you)
So can we make this true
What about you babe
I got you babe
All I want to do
Sometimes in life
You come across a woman
Its just undeniable
And you searched for her so long
If finally hits you in your face
What did you do
Never knew too much about being in love
But I'm letting you show me
Now I can't do without feeling your touch,
Baby When you hold me
Every day's a holiday since you came my way, baby
It's more than I can say you'll forever be my babe
(All I want to is you, babe)
[Chorus]
All I want to do is stay in love with you
What about you babe (What about baby)
I've got you babe (I've baby)
If they ask me all I want to is you (all I want is you)
So can we make this true
What about you babe (Ohhhh)
I got you babe (Ohhhh)
All I want to do
Sometimes if feels like it took
A million years for me to be happy
(Oh, oh, oh)
Its almost like a dream

Looking right at me
(Every days a holiday)
Every day's a holiday since you came my way, baby
(Baby, it's a game I play)
It's more than I can say (More that I can say)

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."
