Do do do do do do do do do…

I was in a typical place yesterday morning
I woke up to find myself in a cocoon
Dreamt of walkin' down the highway with no clothes on
As you pulled up you rolled your window down
Called me a fool

As I got outta bed my bare feet touched the cold floor
Looked in the mirror, wiped the sleepers from my eyes
Took a shower, washed away the night of dreamin'
But what you said to me still echoed
In my mind

Now I’m the kind of person who you’d like to meet
If you were having trouble getting on your feet
But I’m not going to try to convince you
But I can use my right or left eye when I wink
And I go to the faucet when I want a drink
But I’m not going to try to convince you

Do do do do do do do do do…

Packed my bags and got myself out to the bus stop
It pulled up 5 minutes late like it always does
We used to ride together every Friday morning
You used to tell me that you loved me
Just because

The people riding it were up to their same business
The sleepy high school student almost missed her stop
The homeless man off in the corner wearing headphones
Kept on accusing me of being an eavesdrop—
And eavesdropper

Now I’m the kind of person who would love to get
Some lonely people laughin' til their face turned red
But I’m not going to try to convince you
But I would love to see you in a little while
And tell you 'bout the things today that made me smile
But I’m not going to try to convince you

But if I may
I’d like to say
That when I pray
It’s always for today,
Today, and that you’ll stay

Do do do do do do do do do…

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."

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
