This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Take my hand and lead me up
To Dolores
And leave me out in the street, I guess
It was for us
What are you thinking of, Ashley?
Who are you dreaming of, Ashley?
You come down from above, Ashley
You let me sleep and let me breathe
Where I need to
And fool my heart to think that I
Might have had you
What are you thinking of, Ashley?
Who are you dreaming of, Ashley?
You come down from above, Ashley
Take this hammer-handed heart
And pull it off my back
Heavy on my shoulders
Stranded in the open sea
I wait there hoping that
You'll come back to see me
Ashley...
To Dolores
And leave me out in the street, I guess
It was for us
What are you thinking of, Ashley?
Who are you dreaming of, Ashley?
You come down from above, Ashley
You let me sleep and let me breathe
Where I need to
And fool my heart to think that I
Might have had you
What are you thinking of, Ashley?
Who are you dreaming of, Ashley?
You come down from above, Ashley
Take this hammer-handed heart
And pull it off my back
Heavy on my shoulders
Stranded in the open sea
I wait there hoping that
You'll come back to see me
Ashley...

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
i think im gonna marry this song...
I'll tell you what it means...
This guy took Ashley out for a date and nothing sparked for her. Unrequited love? I think so.
Dolores park in San Francisco is the best.
my name is ashley :) too bad this ashley is a heartbreaker.
best song off visiter
ehh its a very good song but i wouldn't say its the best off of visiter i think the best is either the season, fools, or winter
gets stuck in my head easily. love it though. :)
this song makes me cry like none before. it has a very personal meaning for me and their voices just sing right to me
song about a post break-up and the desires and hopes of getting back together
ugh
This song means a lot to me because i knew a girl named Ashley, i thought she was my angel then she dumped me =( this whole song fits my situation i was in so perfectly "And fool my heart to think that I might have had you"
"Take this hammer-handed heart And pull it off my back Heavy on my shoulders Stranded in the open sea I wait there hoping that You'll come back to see me"
i miss her today
This song makes me so sad. I've liked a girl named Ashley for 5 years. Pretty meaningful.
I had a pretty different interpretation of this song. I don't think the girl he's speaking to is NAMED Ashley.
A question is asked "Who are you dreaming of?" And the girl responds, "Ashley."
So maybe this girl is preoccupied with someone else or otherwise unavailable (a lesbian perhaps), but still lead him along or giving him some false hope. "You let me sleep and let me breathe Where I need to And fool my heart to think that I Might have had you"
