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”
I like the way we are, I love what we've become
When I'm in your arms, I know I've found the one
I love your kiss-me-mouth and your static touch
It's just the way you are, makes me feel so much, yeah
No one could ever know what we're like alone
Rollin' round like rain, we're a midnight storm
And like a river rising I feel it through your skin
When we're together, oh, I never want it to end, no
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I like the way we are, its like a raging fire
Burning up the night, burning with desire
You're such a sweet temptation, you know I can't resist
Electricity, hey, every time we kiss
Oh, I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you, yeah
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
Yeah, I saw right through, oh, I see you coming
Hey, I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd been everywhere
I thought I'd seen everything, oh, till I saw you
Oh, all over and right through, yeah
I thought I'd seen everything, till I saw you
Like a midnight storm, you left me all alone
It's like a raging fire, I thought I'd seen everything, yeah
Till I saw you
When I'm in your arms, I know I've found the one
I love your kiss-me-mouth and your static touch
It's just the way you are, makes me feel so much, yeah
No one could ever know what we're like alone
Rollin' round like rain, we're a midnight storm
And like a river rising I feel it through your skin
When we're together, oh, I never want it to end, no
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I like the way we are, its like a raging fire
Burning up the night, burning with desire
You're such a sweet temptation, you know I can't resist
Electricity, hey, every time we kiss
Oh, I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you, yeah
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
Yeah, I saw right through, oh, I see you coming
Hey, I thought I'd seen everything till I saw you
I thought I'd been everywhere till I'd been with you
I thought that everyone knew what I knew
I thought I'd been everywhere
I thought I'd seen everything, oh, till I saw you
Oh, all over and right through, yeah
I thought I'd seen everything, till I saw you
Like a midnight storm, you left me all alone
It's like a raging fire, I thought I'd seen everything, yeah
Till I saw you

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."

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.
wow no ones commented yet....such a great song...reminds me of me and my girlfriend
