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."
Fly boy yeah right
Hey mama they call me Weezy
You should be with me I gotta pocket of full of reasons
Baby I can bless you when you ain't even sneezing
I'll be at your rescue you don't even need me
I can have you dreaming when you even sleeping
Mama I can help you get off like the weekend
She said she wanna do it to the new Enrique
I pop the disc in and put the song on replay
And then she backed it up like replay
When you need it
Girl I try to hide it
But I can't escape it, oh baby
Please forgive me,
when I think of you my thoughts are so x-rated, oh baby
Baby I don't give a damn,
I know that your man's nowhere in sight
Our eyes don't tell a lie,
I know you wanna come with me tonight
And I say alright
First you gotta
Push push back upon it (girl)
Make me believe you want it
Push push back upon it (girl)
Well I can go all mornin'
Push push back upon it (girl)
Go ahead lay it on it
Don't stop until the mornin' (girl)
Just keep pushing back on it
Oh yeah you know it (do you need me)
You know it (will you please me)
You know it (will you tease me)
You know it
Baby I,
I'm the kinda guy that don't get real excited
oh baby

When you have you're private party
I you hope that I'm invited, oh baby
Baby I don't give a damn,

And I see you right
First you gotta
Push push back upon it (girl)
Make me believe you want it
Push push back upon it (girl)
Well I can go all mornin'
Push push back upon it (girl)
Go ahead lay it on it
Don't stop until the mornin' (girl)
Just keep pushing back on it
After you bag it up just stop
No drop it like it's hot, no pop it like a glock
No stop it like a watch, now move it like clockwork
Your body is screamin' and your booty is an outburst
She wanna do it, do it with no delay
I told her I could run it, run it just like relay
'Cause I'm cool,
Just like the breeze-way now pushin' like salt and p-e-p-p-a
Push push back upon it (girl)
Make me believe you want it

Well I can go all mornin'

Go ahead lay it on it
Don't stop until the mornin' (girl)

Well I can go all mornin'
Push push back upon it (girl)
Go ahead lay it on it
Don't stop until the mornin' (girl)

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

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.
