What's your name?
What's your name son?
Say, what's your real name?

What have I become?
I'm so in love with myself again.

All this time I never knew that what you meant was what you said.
Oh no, what's that...100th time, the 100th time.

What's your name son?
What's your real name?
What's your name son?
What's your real name?

I'm so in love again.

What have I become?
I'm so in love with myself again.

I dream of days when I can when I can smile never doubting not.
A day when what you want is nothing more than what you've got.
I can't stand beside you while you rot inside.

What have I become, I'm so in love.

    this is one of my favs off the new cd i love it all but anyways i talked to nick B the lead singer and lyricist and he told me this song is about his father and how he helped to "tailor" him so you can kind of see the references great guitars as well

    this whole album is amazing i don't understand why there's only one comment (two if you count mine) on here but yes i agree with snowbeast on this one it makes sense to me but i think there's something else in this song too like the "i'm so in love with myself again" part i don't see how that fits with the father thing maybe i'm not looking hard enough who know's

    I think its a conversation between father and son. The father is asking him who he really is and what he really wants. He dreams of days when he won't have to worry about his son. The son is lost in himself and his self-image. He can't get past what anyone else may think of him.

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/
