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."
(Tha Biz-Tha Bizness) uh
I like a long-haired, thick red-bone
Open up her legs then filet-mignon that pussy

My sex game is stupid, my head is the dumbest
I promise, I should be hooked on phonics
Ha, but anyway, I think you're bionic
And I don't think you're beautiful, I think you're beyond it
And I just wanna get behind it and watch it
(Back it up and dump it, back-back it up and dump it back) yeah

And we like her (hey), we like her too
We like her (hey) and we like her too
And we like her and she like us too and, oh

Yeah, alright (ooh)
She be jumpin' up and down tryin' to fit that ass in
Took her half an hour just to get that belt to fasten
All they want to talk about is partyin' and fashion
Every single night I have a dream that I am smashing them all
Young Money, man, this shit so timeless
And I'm in the mood to get faded so please bring your finest
And what are all your names, again? We drunk, remind us
Are any of y'all into girls like I am? Lesbi-honest
She wants me, she wants me
'Cause I got it all, shawty, tell me, what you don't see
I would fuck with all y'all, all of y'all are beautiful
I just can't pick one, so you can never say I'm choosin' hoes
And Wayne say, "Pussy, pussy, pussy"
And weed and alcohol seem to satisfy us all, damn
And every time I think of staying with her
She bring that friend around and make a nigga reconsider and then
'Cause we like her (hey) and we like her too
We like her (hey) and we like her too
We like her (hey) and we like her too
We like her (hey) and she like us too and, oh

I just want to fuck every girl in the world,
Every model, every singer, every actress, every diva
Every high-sadditty chick
Every college girl, every skeezer
Stripper and every desperate Housewife that resemble Eva
My role model was Wilt, so, married women or MILF
It don't matter who you is, miss, you can get the business, ha
These hoes is God's gift like Christmas
I like 'em caramel skin, long hair, thick ass
Uh, and I swear I'm feelin' all y'all

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Ok.. Ive got something to say to everyone. Its a song. You think he really wants to fuck every girl? I mean have you seen some of the women now-a-days? Dwayne Carter is extremely hott, talented, and hes got an amazing voice. I'm not a 'slut' for liking a freakin song. Come on. Give the guy a break. And you girls saying rude shit like that isnt any better than what hes saying about the womans body.. in fact.. hes calling it beautiful, so whats the problem again?
