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."
LUI : Ti supererò, in amore andrò
molto più lontano dove tu stupore sei,
con le mani andrò dove sento il cuore
che mi fa capire come
stai aspettando me
LEI : Ti supererò, in amore andrò dove non hai mai sognato di arrivare tu
Con il viso andrò dentro un sentimento dove non sei stato ancora tormentato tu
LUI : Dimmi dove (quando) quando (dove) cuore, mi avvicino più a te
LEI : Tu dimmi le parole (care) fino al cuore (calde) quando …..
LUI : Me le inventerò, sto spaccando il cuore, trovo immersi nel rossore
tanti “amore mio”. Sono i tuoi,tutti i tuoi
LEI : Ti sto superando (dove) fino al cuore (quando) ora, mon vedo che te
LUI : La tua vita è vita per la vita mia e gli occhi mi appartengono,
le tue labbra, ciglia e il cuore è in mano a me
LEI : Tutto il tenero che puoi non te lo renderò
INSIEME : Io non ti voglio ricordare, non esisti altrove ma
LEI : In me……
LUI : Ti supererò, vedo ad occhi chiusi dove fare dolce abusi e bei soprusi a te
LEI : Ti supererò col mio amore insonne e agitato che non dorme per svegliare te
LUI : Dimmi dove (quando) quando (dove) caro cuore, io non vedo che te
LEI : Ti sto superando (dove) fino al cuore (quando) ora…
INSIEME : Ti supererò in amore andrò oltre la parola amore e non torno più.
molto più lontano dove tu stupore sei,
con le mani andrò dove sento il cuore
che mi fa capire come
stai aspettando me
LEI : Ti supererò, in amore andrò dove non hai mai sognato di arrivare tu
Con il viso andrò dentro un sentimento dove non sei stato ancora tormentato tu
LUI : Dimmi dove (quando) quando (dove) cuore, mi avvicino più a te
LEI : Tu dimmi le parole (care) fino al cuore (calde) quando …..
LUI : Me le inventerò, sto spaccando il cuore, trovo immersi nel rossore
tanti “amore mio”. Sono i tuoi,tutti i tuoi
LEI : Ti sto superando (dove) fino al cuore (quando) ora, mon vedo che te
LUI : La tua vita è vita per la vita mia e gli occhi mi appartengono,
le tue labbra, ciglia e il cuore è in mano a me
LEI : Tutto il tenero che puoi non te lo renderò
INSIEME : Io non ti voglio ricordare, non esisti altrove ma
LEI : In me……
LUI : Ti supererò, vedo ad occhi chiusi dove fare dolce abusi e bei soprusi a te
LEI : Ti supererò col mio amore insonne e agitato che non dorme per svegliare te
LUI : Dimmi dove (quando) quando (dove) caro cuore, io non vedo che te
LEI : Ti sto superando (dove) fino al cuore (quando) ora…
INSIEME : Ti supererò in amore andrò oltre la parola amore e non torno più.

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/
