The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Say you'll be there!
I'm, giving you everything,
All that joy can bring, this I swear.
Last time, that we had this conversation,
I decided we should be friends...hey!
But now, we're going round in circles,
Tell me will this deja vu never end...oh!
Now you tell me that you've fallen in love,
Well I never ever thought that would be...eh!
This time, you gotta take it easy,
Throwing far too much emotions at me!
But any fool can see they're falling,
I gotta make you understand.
I'm, giving you everything,
All that joy can bring, this I swear.
I give you everything
And, all that I want from you
Is the promise you, will be there
Say you will be there...yeah!
Oow! Say you will be there!
Won't you sing it with me?
If you, put two and two together
You will see what our friendship is for...oh!
If you, can't work this equation
Then I guess I'll have to show you the door
There is no need to say you love me,
It would be better left unsaid
I'm (I'm)
Giving you everything (I give you everything)
All that joy can bring (all that joy can bring)

Mountain Song

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."
