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.
I guess you could say
that I need her
I'm doing everything
just to please her
I'm taking her clothes
to the cleaners
and her friends and family's as well
and her friends and family's as well
Lets go!
I'm looking for my girl
have you seen her?
He said yeah, yeah,
but I don't want to tell you
I think she's outside
in the bathtub
with two other naked guys
or was it three other naked guys?
And I think it's time to run
but then we jump into your bed
and the time will pass with nothing said
there's no jealousy and there's no fear
just excitement at the two bodies near
and the comfort of each other's smell
why it keeps working I could never really tell
It's just a feeling
that must be shared
That must be shared
That must be shared
Come on
Come on
Come on
And I think its time to break up
but then we jump into your bed
and the time will pass with nothing said
there's no jealousy and there's no fear
just excitement at the two bodies near
and the comfort of each other's smell
why it keeps working I could never really tell
It's just a feeling that must be shared
That must be shared
That must be shared
Yeah, it must be shared
It must be shared
that I need her
I'm doing everything
just to please her
I'm taking her clothes
to the cleaners
and her friends and family's as well
and her friends and family's as well
Lets go!
I'm looking for my girl
have you seen her?
He said yeah, yeah,
but I don't want to tell you
I think she's outside
in the bathtub
with two other naked guys
or was it three other naked guys?
And I think it's time to run
but then we jump into your bed
and the time will pass with nothing said
there's no jealousy and there's no fear
just excitement at the two bodies near
and the comfort of each other's smell
why it keeps working I could never really tell
It's just a feeling
that must be shared
That must be shared
That must be shared
Come on
Come on
Come on
And I think its time to break up
but then we jump into your bed
and the time will pass with nothing said
there's no jealousy and there's no fear
just excitement at the two bodies near
and the comfort of each other's smell
why it keeps working I could never really tell
It's just a feeling that must be shared
That must be shared
That must be shared
Yeah, it must be shared
It must be shared

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."

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.
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.
Very poor lyrics, which is a shame for such catch music. Especially the verse about the bath tub and the naked guys.. the wording is very elementary.
