Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
We've come a real long way to be with you
It's not that easy doing what we do
There are those lonely times and then there´s happiness
Now it´s time we gonna do what we do best
Get it on
Get it on
There´s an electric feeling in the air
The night is young and there is lots to share
Don´t you feel the storm
I feel it raging on and on
Get it on
And now you know what we can do for you
Something has come to life between us, too
The boys are pushing hard and playing out their best
Now it´s time to let your body do the rest
Get it on
It's not that easy doing what we do
There are those lonely times and then there´s happiness
Now it´s time we gonna do what we do best
Get it on
Get it on
There´s an electric feeling in the air
The night is young and there is lots to share
Don´t you feel the storm
I feel it raging on and on
Get it on
And now you know what we can do for you
Something has come to life between us, too
The boys are pushing hard and playing out their best
Now it´s time to let your body do the rest
Get it on

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
never before has led zeppelin been ripped off in so many different ways in just one song
good lord the singer is the ultimate robert plant wanna-be
Yes, Kingdom Come ripped Zeppelin off better than anyone. So good infact, that this long time hardcore Zep collector and Zephead, loves them! The guitar riff in Get it on has a classic Zeppelin feel. Cross between Kasmir and Whole Lotta Love. Some could argue Black Dog too. However, the real gem in this track and well as others, is Lenny Wolf's vocal STYLE. Others cop a classic early 70's Robert Plant sound better, but it is Wolf's manner in which he vocalizes and draws out verses that takes Kingdom Come up a notch over others. Remember, Kingome Come came on to the scene in the late 80's. Same time Plant was signing Shaken and Stirred's well written tracks like he had a stick up his Ass. No longer did he sing in the manner he had a decade before. Kindgom Come filled a void and wrote great Zep inspired tracks! Get it on tops those tracks.
Get it on is a simple song about what they did.. Rocked out Zep heads in concert.

vocal stylings are just too close to plant to be called anything but a rip-off. still very intense and engaging.
lyrics are somewhat lacking. sorry to be serious, but the "get it on" experience is just more meaningful, more exhilirating, and more ultimate than what these lyrics capture.
