This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You’ve been so good to me over the years
And I couldn’t speak for all the laughter and the tears
And it’s true; i’ve done bad things to you
You’ve loved me unconditionally for all the things I do
And there’s no other like a mother’s love
Not a golden charm or a million bucks
It’s when they tuck you in at night
When you’re young and scared they’ll hold you tight
And when you dream that you’re the best
It’s a mother’s love that’ll take you there
That’ll take you there
Hey mum, i’m gonna make you so proud
And even when you’re old and not around
I’ll sing these words oh so loud
Hey dad, i’m sorry I made you so mad
And I know it took years to work things through
But I finally found that I can say I love you to
Remember that wakeup call
I’d been out all night in the freezing cold
I must’ve looked like death
You could smell the alcohol on my breath
Your face spoke of anxiety
More worry than I had ever feared
It only made us stronger
And it seems so hard with a family to feed
And a life of your own, you kept us on our feet
We never had much time to talk
Just to let you know you’re in my thoughts
And when you bought my first guitar
Dad, you said that i’d go far
I swear i’ll make you proud
Hey mum, i’m gonna make you so proud
And even when you’re old and not around
I’ll sing these words oh so loud
Hey dad, i’m sorry I made you so mad
And I know it took years to work things through
But I finally found that I can say I love you to
If I could be half the man that you have been
I know my kids would be in good hands
I’ll speak your words with pride
I’ll speak them till the day that I die
Mum, you’ve always been so good to me
You never questioned my ability
You always told me I can and I will
And i’ll live by that, yeah i’ll live by that
Hey mum, i’m gonna make you so proud
And even when you’re old and not around
I’ll sing these words oh so loud
Hey dad, i’m sorry I made you so mad
And I know it took years to work things through
But I finally found that I can say I love you to
Hey mum, i’m gonna make you so proud
And even when you’re old and not around
I’ll sing these words oh so loud
Hey dad, i’m sorry I made you so mad
And I know it took years to work things through
But I finally found that I can say I love you to
And I couldn’t speak for all the laughter and the tears
And it’s true; i’ve done bad things to you
You’ve loved me unconditionally for all the things I do
And there’s no other like a mother’s love
Not a golden charm or a million bucks
It’s when they tuck you in at night
When you’re young and scared they’ll hold you tight
And when you dream that you’re the best
It’s a mother’s love that’ll take you there
That’ll take you there
Hey mum, i’m gonna make you so proud
And even when you’re old and not around
I’ll sing these words oh so loud
Hey dad, i’m sorry I made you so mad
And I know it took years to work things through
But I finally found that I can say I love you to
Remember that wakeup call
I’d been out all night in the freezing cold
I must’ve looked like death
You could smell the alcohol on my breath
Your face spoke of anxiety
More worry than I had ever feared
It only made us stronger
And it seems so hard with a family to feed
And a life of your own, you kept us on our feet
We never had much time to talk
Just to let you know you’re in my thoughts
And when you bought my first guitar
Dad, you said that i’d go far
I swear i’ll make you proud
Hey mum, i’m gonna make you so proud
And even when you’re old and not around
I’ll sing these words oh so loud
Hey dad, i’m sorry I made you so mad
And I know it took years to work things through
But I finally found that I can say I love you to
If I could be half the man that you have been
I know my kids would be in good hands
I’ll speak your words with pride
I’ll speak them till the day that I die

Hey mum, i’m gonna make you so proud
And even when you’re old and not around

And I know it took years to work things through
But I finally found that I can say I love you to
Hey mum, i’m gonna make you so proud
And even when you’re old and not around
I’ll sing these words oh so loud
Hey dad, i’m sorry I made you so mad
And I know it took years to work things through
But I finally found that I can say I love you to

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
