This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
So umm...so we've been doing this tour i guess this is the 5th show we've done tim and i
and uh...so this little song's been growing out, um, while we've been playing, sort of, a little story
and the little story i was in new york city, and um, i was walking down the streeeeeeet
and um, and i met this girl and i had asked her directions you know and she was, she was tiny you know
she wasn't, she wasn't young she was just tiny
and um...and i asked her directions and she said, oh thats the way down there walk over there go down there you walk over there you go down there and then your there something like that anyway....
but um, so i walked about 10 paces away and i was thinking...damn, that girl was fine
oh, i turned around to tell her so and ask her maybe her name or maybe if we should go and get a cup of coffee or some...thing
but i'm sure if i would've turned around to find her there i would've found out something but she talked so good but when i turned around she was gone
oh, she was gone....i didn't even get her name oh...i thought
cry.....to your face in my mind and your voice in my ear still echoes
oh, i bought a lovely flower standing where me met that day in hopes that you would return but no, no, no
i can't remember where i was going now
i can't remember where i was leading to or what lead me to you but...
always...and a weight inside my head the look of you the sound the way you cackled at me for not knowing where i was going
but always i cry.....slip away.........
the hands that pour, my hands on you again...wayyyyy
i beg oh, i beg oh see me please find me again....wayyyyy
i'm lost again...i sit here drinking coffee or water depending the time of day but
oh, you're with me like the ghost of a mother oh you're with me, like the pain of a father...oh
i wish i could call you something other than the girl that i saw then but...
i would recognize you in a second but heyyyy
only saw you for a minute maybe less i don't hold my hand where but i waited...honest
i'm lost, i'm lost i can't remember where i used to be but hey hey weighted by the memory of, the memory of love that never got born but hey
do i even cross your mind that way
with more than just a laughing
did you think as you walked away maybe you were....heyyyyy
oh i hope you did so heyyyyy
you would, you would have been feeling the same thing as i am now
and uh...so this little song's been growing out, um, while we've been playing, sort of, a little story

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,
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
the memory of a love that never got born- so sad, and he sings with such raw emotion throughout the whole song. my favorite dmb song, easily.
