Is everything okay?
I know it's gettin late
I'm working on the record
Like every effin day
I told the whole band that it's gonna take as long
As it goddamn takes
If the scene is so good
Yvonne, I think it should
We'll get a big house
In Hollywood
An I love you more
Than your dad ever could.

An when I kiss you on the lips
You know that I mean it
An when I get your name tattooed to my neck
You better never forget
So dance with me, and never let me go
And I will always let you know
Girl, be always loving me
And I'll always be your G

I know that times are tough
And money ain't enough
You said you need more
Of my love
Yvonne, help me get off these drugs

An when I kiss you on the lips
You know that I mean it
When I get your name tattooed to my neck
You better come back

An when I kiss you on the lips
You know that I mean it
An when I get your name tattooed to my neck
You better never forget
So dance with me, and never let me go
And I will always let you know
Girl, be always loving me
And I'll always be your G

If you find my body buried below our home,
Know that I was always sicker than you
Had ever known
If you find my body sitting alone in my studio,
Just know you were the reason for every song I wrote
If you find my body buried below our home...

An when I kiss you on the lips
You know that I mean it
When I get your name tattooed to my neck
You better never forget
You know that I mean it
When I get your name tattooed to my neck
You better never forget
So dance with me, and never let me go
And I will always let you know
Girl, be always loving me

And I will always be your G
And I'll always be your G
And I will always be
And I will always be
And I will always be your G
And I will always be your G
And I will always be
And I will always be
And I will always be your G
And I will always be your G

I hope you know I'm sorry
When you get this, will you call me?
Tell me that you love me
Tell me, tell me!
I hopr you know I'm sorry
When you get this, Yvonne, call me
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love
I hope you know I'm sorry
When you get this, will you call me?
Tell me that you love me
Tell me, tell me!
I hope you know I'm sorry
When you get this, Yvonne, call me
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me

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."

No Surprises
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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
