Night To Remember

12 Summers Old

This could be a night to remember
But you still give me nightmares I could never forget
I'm sleeping with the lights on tonight
So before you go, I'll tell you what I'm thinking

Do you really want a one night romance?
Are you dreaming of a starlight slow dance?
Do you really want a storybook ending?
Move on, lets stop pretending now

I'm anticipating
All these phone calls your desperately making
I'm dying from the sound of your voice
Before you go, try to stop bleeding
I'll leave the lights on so you can find your way back home
When you get back here all of these doors they will be locked close

Do you really want a one night romance?
Are you dreaming of a starlight slow dance?
Do you really want a storybook ending?
Move on, lets stop pretending
Do you really want a one night romance?
Do you really want a starlight slow dance?
Do you really want a storybook ending?
Move on, lets stop pretending

You always ask me where we went wrong
It must have been the day that I wrote this song
Get up and get out, I think its over
Get up and get out, I think its over
Get up and get out, I think its over
Life is full of regrets to put on your shoulders
Theres a whisper in your left ear loud and clear
A casual conversation
Let me know, are you dialing the phone?
Do you really want a one night romance?
Are you dreaming of a starlight slow dance?
Do you really want a storybook ending?
Move on, lets stop pretending
Do you really want a one night romance?
Do you really want a starlight slow dance?
Do you really want a storybook ending?
Move on, lets stop pretending

I need you like a hole in the head
And I'm thinking that I'm better off dead
Than spending one more night with you

    What, no comments? I love this song! But I guess 12SO isn't very well-known.

    But anyway.

    I think this song's about a guy who's in love with this girl. And she loves him back but they're terrible for each other ((I need you like a hole in the head//And I'm thinking that I'm better off dead//Than spending one more night with you)).

    And I think...oh I dunno. They go on one last date and then he ends it? Something like that, I guess.

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.
