@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I made tonight a memory
I could walk for miles and miles
I left a shadow at her feet
I can see her all alone
The night itself a reverie
I could dream this out for a while
I keep her lost in lock and key
'Cause she's just my kind of style
She takes my hand and leads me in
It is not over
She sets the mood so I begin
And I walk over
She speaks the word to make me grin
Can I please have her
We grab a hold to brace the end
This is what I am speaking of
I made tonight a memory
Yeah you took me higher and higher
You make it hard for me to leave
But I'm coming back to you
She takes my hand and leads me in
It is not over
She sets the mood so I begin
And I walk over
She speaks the word to make me grin
Can I please have her
We grab a hold to brace the end
This is what I am speaking of
I crawl my way back in your head
To hear you speak and dream again
To touch your lips from deep within
A bit like love and hail the wind
Across the grave invite the bands
Carry well when the world ends
Across you lay, I loose you when you're in my arms
Just like the wind
It's not over, over, over
It's not over, over, over
She takes my hand and leads me in, It is not over
She sets the mood so I begin, and I walk over
She speaks the word to make me grin
Can I please have her
We grab a hold to brace the end
This is what I am speaking of
I crawl my way back in your head
To hear you speak and dream again
To touch your lips from deep within
A bit like love and hail the wind
Across the grave invite the bands
Carry well when the world ends
Across you lay, I loose you when you're in my arms
Just like the wind
(It's not over, over, over)
I crawl my way back in your head
To hear you speak and dream again
(It's not over, over, over)
To touch your lips from deep within
A bit like love and hail the wind
(It's not over, over, over)
Across the grave invite the bands
Carry well when the world ends
(It's not over, over, over)
Across you lay, I loose you when you're in my arms

Mountain Song

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.

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.
I love this song, probably my favorite AVA song. But what is this song about? I beleive that Tom yes was addicted to pain meds because of his back at one time but i dont believe hes ever done heroine. So i think this song is about when you love someone so much and you love their touch its addicting.
@LaughingJoke21 aaaaand he loves the pain killer pills too, coming off them is a process. Women and drugs are both addicting. I know cause I went through both too. Heroine and the bends reference? definitely talking about both.
