This Road is Going Nowhere

The Vincent Black Shadow

Eyes
surprise the sense with the sting of sight
between the color and the black and white of what you
see
I feel a stranger coming on to me
I brought it on but I could never be the one to
GET TO THE POINT THEN SHUT UP

ask for her another day
ask for something worth the price you have to pay

the stakes are up and your odds are down
step right up for another round
the spade's up your sleeve
there's sweat on your brow
and I will be damned
if I let you back into this town

you
disguised intentions with an olive branch
you made a killing and a lot of fans except for
me
the way you speak is contradictory
and all the lies you told got back to me
why don't you
GET TO THE POINT THEN SHUT UP

ask for her another day
ask for something worth the price you have to pay

the stakes are up and your odds are down
step right up for another round
the spade's up your sleeve
there's sweat on your brow
and I will be damned
if I let you back into this town

ask for her another day
ask for something worth the price you have to pay

the stakes are up and your odds are down
step right up for another round
step right up for another round
another round you're going nowhere

the stakes are up and your odds are down
step right up for another round
another round, another round
some other town that's going nowhere

the spade's up your sleeve
there's sweat on your brow
and I will be damned
if I let you back into this town

the spade's up your sleeve
there's sweat on your brow
and I will be damned
if I let you back in to this town

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
