You'll dry your tears, you're Mary Magdalene
You're all your fears, yo, they must pass
Yo, don't you mind do what they're telling you
You gotta take that light, you shine it on and on and on

they'll tell you that all your love is for nothing
They'll tell you that all your love, it won't mean a thing to them
They'll tell you that all your love

we're to come together
We're to shine the light on, you're like the morning sun
We're to come together
We're to shine the light on, you're like the morning sun

Oh, don't you cry to me, oh, don't you cry to me
Yeah, don't you cry to me no more
Oh, don't you cry to me, oh, don't you cry to me
Yeah, don't you cry to me no more

You rise again, you're brother Lazarus
You tell the dead the time has come
You salt the earth with what he's given you
You gotta take that light and shine it on and on and on

they'll tell you that all your love is for nothing
They'll tell you that all your love, it won't mean a thing to them
They'll tell you that all your love

we're to come together
We're to shine the light on, you're like the morning sun
We're to come together
We're to shine the light on, you're like the morning sun

Oh, don't you cry to me, oh, don't you cry to me
Oh, don't you cry to me no more
Oh, don't you cry to me, oh, don't you cry to me
Yeah, don't you cry to me no more, ya, yeah sing it

Yeah, don't you cry to me, yeah, don't you cry to me
Yeah, don't you cry to me no more
Yeah, don't you cry to me, yeah, don't you cry to me
Yeah, don't you cry to me no more

Mountain Song
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."

Plastic Bag
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.
