The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I feel like I'm walking in the sky
Whoa, who
Yesterday, tears were in my eyes
Whoa, whoa
It's a bad day, yeah I've been there before
But I keep my head up so I don't have those anymore
I made a choice to be the best that I could ever be
Gotta stay positive, ignore the negativity
I'm going to follow my intuition
Tell myself to listen
Everything's gonna be okay
It's gonna be a good day
Oh ah oh, oh ah uh oh, oh ah oh
It's gonna be a good day
Follow my intuition
It's gonna be a good day
I've gotta go with what feels right
Whoa, whoa
Don't always need a reason why
Whoa, whoa
What's the problem compared to the weight of the world?
Quit trying to please every man, women, boy and girl
Better pick up the pace, there ain't no time to waste
Tomorrow's never promised so I started living for today
I'm going to follow my intuition
Tell myself to listen
Everything's gonna be okay
It's gonna be a good day
Oh ah oh, oh ah uh oh, oh ah oh
It's gonna be a good day
Follow my intuition
It's gonna be a good day
I don't always know that I gotta let go
Yeah looking back it's always easy to know
Sometimes it just gets so confusing,
Feel like I don't know what I'm doing
But I try so hard at anything
Feels like I can be better at anything
Because if it's meant to be, it is gonna happen
You know it's gonna be a good day
I'm going to follow my intuition
(I said it's gonna be a good day)
Everything's gonna be okay
It's gonna be a good day
Oh ah oh, oh ah uh oh, oh ah oh
It's gonna be a good day
Follow my intuition
Whoa, who
Yesterday, tears were in my eyes
Whoa, whoa
It's a bad day, yeah I've been there before
But I keep my head up so I don't have those anymore
I made a choice to be the best that I could ever be
Gotta stay positive, ignore the negativity
I'm going to follow my intuition
Tell myself to listen
Everything's gonna be okay
It's gonna be a good day
Oh ah oh, oh ah uh oh, oh ah oh
It's gonna be a good day
Follow my intuition
It's gonna be a good day
I've gotta go with what feels right
Whoa, whoa
Don't always need a reason why
Whoa, whoa
What's the problem compared to the weight of the world?
Quit trying to please every man, women, boy and girl

Everything's gonna be okay
It's gonna be a good day
Oh ah oh, oh ah uh oh, oh ah oh
It's gonna be a good day

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
