In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I gave it all just for you
And you needed help for what you threw
And you think that you would remember
Paved your way
When you thought
you only remembered how to use me
[Chorus:]
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
You blocked reality when you were here
Now you're gone and it's so much clear
When the girls walked by
You love me, you would say
You hook up, you get caught
I'm in denial so I forgave you
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
All I want to know
Is what I've done to you
You think that I'm confused
And I'll just run to you
Whatever, whatever
I'll be fine [x6]
Back to you (I think you should know)
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
Now that you're gone
I finally see
My friends were right
You were wrong for me
You never controlled me
I gave you the control
This song's for you
I want you to know
I'll be fine
If you get what you deserve
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah [x2]
And you needed help for what you threw
And you think that you would remember
Paved your way
When you thought
you only remembered how to use me
[Chorus:]
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
You blocked reality when you were here
Now you're gone and it's so much clear
When the girls walked by
You love me, you would say
You hook up, you get caught
I'm in denial so I forgave you
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
All I want to know
Is what I've done to you
You think that I'm confused
And I'll just run to you
Whatever, whatever
I'll be fine [x6]
Back to you (I think you should know)
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
Now that you're gone
I finally see
My friends were right
You were wrong for me
You never controlled me
I gave you the control
This song's for you
I want you to know
I'll be fine
If you get what you deserve
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Right in the kissah [x2]

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,

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.
