In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
There were days
When we use to lounge
Hangin' out in my car
Till the sun went down
When I'd call
You'd pick up the phone
Tell me now much you were alone
Let's get deep
If I ever broke down
Gave you what I felt now
Would you still hang around
Are we crazy for feeling this way
You used to laugh until you cried
You and I keeping the world at bay
We'd sit around all day
Let's get deep
If I ever broke down
Gave you what I felt now
Would you still hang around
Closer and closer
every time we turn around
You'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me
Deeper and deeper
I'll never go away
Sun falls torrential your highness
I'm think about the days we left behind us
Sunshine and rain and misery
I'm lookin at you beside me here
Now I'don't know how
You came into my life wonderin' will you be my wife
Spend a day or two in Spain or France
In the rain will dance
Your heart next to mine beatin'
In the rain let me explain
Let me do my think and tell you how I feel
This love is for real
Summer's finally found us
The children playing in the sun
Baby can't you see our time has come
Turning on my radio I hear the song, and see your face
Cause you are the one I can't replace
So let's get deep
I would give in Learn to depend
That I'll be there until the end
There were days
When we use to lounge
Hangin' out in my car
Till the sun went down
When I'd call
You'd pick up the phone
Tell me now much you were alone
Let's get deep
I would give in Learn to depend
That I'll be there until the end
Closer and closer
everytime we trun around
You'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me
Deeper and deeper
I'll never go away
Closer and closer
everytime we trun around
You'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me (x3)
When we use to lounge
Hangin' out in my car
Till the sun went down
When I'd call
You'd pick up the phone
Tell me now much you were alone
Let's get deep
If I ever broke down
Gave you what I felt now
Would you still hang around
Are we crazy for feeling this way
You used to laugh until you cried
You and I keeping the world at bay
We'd sit around all day
Let's get deep
If I ever broke down
Gave you what I felt now
Would you still hang around
Closer and closer
every time we turn around
You'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me
Deeper and deeper
I'll never go away
Sun falls torrential your highness
I'm think about the days we left behind us
Sunshine and rain and misery
I'm lookin at you beside me here
Now I'don't know how
You came into my life wonderin' will you be my wife
Spend a day or two in Spain or France
In the rain will dance
Your heart next to mine beatin'
In the rain let me explain
Let me do my think and tell you how I feel

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
