This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Oh,
You were born with the sun
And oh,
You will die with the moon
And everything you thought you had you lost
But now you'd never lose what you don't have
Prayers from above
Never answered quite enough
Now the only one you have is you
With this (cruel?) bitter heart
You were (gone and it hurt?)
Left her naked in the sun
(I'm scared?) from this (cruel?) bitter world
This has only begun
As the bombs are bursting off
Smoke arose
On azimuth glares
Bodies brewed
In frigid winter air
Where family's sons
Are robbed beneath their feet
And hearts conceit
(Above her?)The angel sings
(Distracted?) our eyes to the sea
And we thought that we had
A cause for suffering
And reason enough to die alone
Oh but,
You,
Will this (cruel?) bitter heart
You were (gone and in love?)
Left her naked in the sun
(I'm scared?) from this (cruel?) bitter world
This has only begun
As the bombs are bursting off
With our feet beneath us
With our hands to the sky
We extend our limbs
Begging "Why, oh why?"
Don't fade away
Prayers from above
Never answered quite enough
Looking up
Never offered you too much
Now the only one you have is
You were born with the sun
And oh,
You will die with the moon
And everything you thought you had you lost
But now you'd never lose what you don't have
Prayers from above
Never answered quite enough
Now the only one you have is you
With this (cruel?) bitter heart
You were (gone and it hurt?)
Left her naked in the sun
(I'm scared?) from this (cruel?) bitter world
This has only begun
As the bombs are bursting off
Smoke arose
On azimuth glares
Bodies brewed
In frigid winter air
Where family's sons
Are robbed beneath their feet
And hearts conceit
(Above her?)The angel sings
(Distracted?) our eyes to the sea
And we thought that we had
A cause for suffering
And reason enough to die alone
Oh but,
You,
Will this (cruel?) bitter heart
You were (gone and in love?)
Left her naked in the sun
(I'm scared?) from this (cruel?) bitter world
This has only begun
As the bombs are bursting off
With our feet beneath us
With our hands to the sky
We extend our limbs
Begging "Why, oh why?"
Don't fade away
Prayers from above
Never answered quite enough
Looking up
Never offered you too much
Now the only one you have is

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Oh, you were born with the sun And oh, you will die with the moon Everything you thought you had you lost But now you'd never lose what you don't have
Prayers from above, never answered quite enough Now the only one you have is you
With this cruel and bitter heart You were cold and in love, left here naked in the sun
Run scared from this cruel and bitter world This has only begun, now the bombs are bursting off
Smoke arose on azimuth glares bodies brewed and frigid winter air Where families' sons are robbed beneath their feet, and hearts conceit "Ab Ovo," the angel sings "Ad astra"
our eyes to the sea,We thought that we had a cause for suffering and reason enough to die alone
Withour feet beneath us and our hands to the sky we extend our limbs begging "why oh why?"
Dont Turn Away
Prayers from above, never answered quite enough looking up never offered you too much Now the only one you have is...
