This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Alex slams the door, cries out loud throws his fist into the wall
Falls downs as tears crawl from his eyes
The summer night that felt so right
When he reached out to hold her hand
The thought was haunting him alive
The chance he thought he’d never have to hold her heart in hand again
Turns out to be something he’ll never have
It seems that Sarah moved, went to school, hooked up with the new boy in town
And left the other one behind
So alex waited two more years
In hopes and dreams and vacant fears
That one day he’ll catch her eye
Alex wrote a note that told
The closeness that I get from you,
Is like the feeling I’m the first man to walk the moon,
And it’s so unreal, but I suppose you don’t have a clue,
The city sleeps, and so do you, but my god I’m wide awake and I’m watching you.
And it’s so surreal, but it feels so real.
Sarah gets the note, reads it twice then she breaks down and cries
She never knew he felt that way
It’s too late for them anyway
There’s 50 states that separate
And oceans that stand in their way
So alex hits the bottle hard
Gives out his things his clothes his car
Has plans to make this all go away
The bottle hits the floor
And rolls along the wall to where it meets the mess of pills
He planned to dissipate
The next day sarah gets a call
And flies in for the funeral
At which she sadly stands to give a speech
Shaking, she goes on to read:
The closeness that I get from you,
Is like the feeling I’m the first man to walk the moon,
And it’s so unreal, but I suppose you don’t have a clue,
The city sleeps, and so do you, but my god I’m wide awake watching you.
And it’s so surreal, but it feels so real.
To me
“You know the first time I ever set eyes on you
It was like I finally had a reason to smile
There was something real, something raw, something so true
And yet, I didn’t know how else to tell you
In fact, I didn’t know how to get your attention
And the thought of living without you,
Well…that was more than I could handle.”

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."
