Major League

I enjoy the company lately but
You and I are a crowd so I hope
You can understand that tonight
I wanna be with an old friend I've been missing

If I hold this in just one more day
I'm pretty sure I'm bound to break
I've waited way too long to get this off my chest
(But I know!)

I've been barking up the same damn tree
for the past two years
And maybe this time it's no one else's fault
But my own
Believe me I'm sorry if you took things too personally

I don't know where I've been for these past few months
I can't believe that I got this low
I've listened to the "Upsides" B-Side
Looking for the answers to what you've been asking
I've been preaching "Keep your Head Up, Kid!"
When all along I've had mine buried in the sand and
I think thats got to do with everything we never talked about

People constantly change all around me
The friends I had are completely different now
They've all been hyped up on shit and its making me sick
It's getting painful to watch them fail

I've been tracing these sidewalks
Until these side streets got the best of me
I'm a sucker for memories
(And the way things used to be)

I don't know where I've been for these past few months
I can't believe that I got this low
I've listened to the "Upsides" B-Side
Looking for the answers to what you've been asking
I've been preaching "Keep your Head Up, Kid!"
When all along I've had mine buried in the sand and
I think that's got to do with everything we never talked about

I think I've gotten better at letting shit go
Like that time down on market
Where we told Sixx I'm sorry
Or that time that Mike B. stopped calling completely
But let's be honest
Who the fuck am i kidding?

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."

Plastic Bag
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.
