This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
He's got a broken voice and a twisted smile
Guess he's been that way now for quite a while
He's got blood on his shoes and mud on his brim
Did he do it to himself or was it done to him?
Now people say that he don't look well
But all he needs from what I can tell
Is someone to help wash away all the paint
From his purple hands before it gets too late
I saw him stand alone under a broken street light
So sincere, singing silent night
But the trees, they were full and the grass was green
It was the sweetest thing I had ever seen
He may move slow
But that don't mean he's going nowhere
He may be moving slow
But that don't mean he's going nowhere
Guess he's been that way now for quite a while
He's got blood on his shoes and mud on his brim
Did he do it to himself or was it done to him?
Now people say that he don't look well
But all he needs from what I can tell
Is someone to help wash away all the paint
From his purple hands before it gets too late
I saw him stand alone under a broken street light
So sincere, singing silent night
But the trees, they were full and the grass was green
It was the sweetest thing I had ever seen
He may move slow
But that don't mean he's going nowhere
He may be moving slow
But that don't mean he's going nowhere

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."

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
but what the heck is she talking about with the purple paint? i love it. i'm not sure i get it.
