In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
My heavens wit chu (x2)
My heavens with you girl
My heavens wit chu
CHORUS
I gotta die, for me to get to heaven
I get a glimpse of heaven for every time I feel your lovin
And you know I aint lying, When I say I love you
I hope you know x3
My heavens with you x4
Looking at your photograph, thinking how you make me laugh
You put a sparkle in my eyes, and give me crazy butterflies
My body lingers with your smile, thinking that I just mightve fell
I miss you baby, can you see me, cause it feels like hell
And when youre not around, I need an, I need an, I need you
And when Im feeling down, I want you, I want an, I want you
CHORUS
I read your texts that made me smile, but I aint havent for awhile
I know youre sleeping this time zone, but im still staring at my phone
And your always there for me, I even see you in my dreams
My sacrifice, my paradise, my happy ending to the least
Every day and every night, Im wanting, Im wanting, I want you
And until the end of time, Ill love you, Ill love you
CHORUS
Yeah girl thats true when Im feeling all blue, I just think about you
Got me feeling yellow, the opposite of mellow, girl when you say hello I feel brand new
Baby dont worry about it girl, heres the keys to my world,
Its all my love; got me so excited, make me hot love
Baby dont divide it, give me alla alla ya,
I want all of your love, heres all of my love,
I want all of your love, heres all my love,
I want all ya love, take all of my love.
My heavens with you girl
My heavens wit chu
CHORUS
I gotta die, for me to get to heaven
I get a glimpse of heaven for every time I feel your lovin
And you know I aint lying, When I say I love you
I hope you know x3
My heavens with you x4
Looking at your photograph, thinking how you make me laugh
You put a sparkle in my eyes, and give me crazy butterflies
My body lingers with your smile, thinking that I just mightve fell
I miss you baby, can you see me, cause it feels like hell
And when youre not around, I need an, I need an, I need you
And when Im feeling down, I want you, I want an, I want you
CHORUS
I read your texts that made me smile, but I aint havent for awhile
I know youre sleeping this time zone, but im still staring at my phone
And your always there for me, I even see you in my dreams
My sacrifice, my paradise, my happy ending to the least
Every day and every night, Im wanting, Im wanting, I want you

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,
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/

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.
