This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I say I’ll move the mountains
And I’ll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I’m crazy
Crazy in love, I say
I say I’ll go through fire
And I’ll go through fire
As he wants it, so shall it be
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I’m crazy
Crazy in love, you see
Like the wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult I’ll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I’ll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I’m crazy
Crazy in love am I
And I’ll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I’m crazy
Crazy in love, I say
I say I’ll go through fire
And I’ll go through fire
As he wants it, so shall it be
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I’m crazy
Crazy in love, you see
Like the wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult I’ll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I’ll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I’m crazy
Crazy in love am I

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. 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.
WOOT! the first to comment on this wonderful song! Can't believe no one else has. So it's pretty much about a woman who is so in love with someone that she's willing to do whatever to please him. Not sure whether the man has the same feelings for her. If he does then he is calling her crazy in a loving way but if not...then he probably thinks she really is crazy or just plain creepy. in the second verse it seems that he wants her to go through fire. but to me it sounds originally like a jazz song but i adore the way EA makes it sound so creepy and haunting. It's like...billie holiday at an asylum XD
ile that song.. is like a enchanted melody that tell us an uncondictional love for some one. is so wonderfull , but i hate ath the same time cuz i'm feeling that way lol and it can drieve some one crazy 4 sure! lol
The song actually was originally done by Billie Holiday!! :D
But yeah, it's definitely about unconditional love. (A stalker song. lol ;P)
I love how she puts the haunting background on it.
The background to this song is so haunting...It just makes it that more beautiful.
I KNEW I had heard this song before, it makes me happy to know that Emilie covered a Billie Holiday song.
invertably so
the powerless can not move mountains so there love is less
