You can hear the music
Of the AM Radio
The VCR and the DVD
There was none of that crap
Back in 1970
We didn't know about a
World Wide Web
It was a whole different game
Being played back when
I was a kid
want to get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair
Just walking in style with a portable CD player
No you'd listen to the music on the
AM Radio AM Radio
Yeah you could hear the music on the
AM Radio AM Radio
Flashback, seventy-two
Another summer in the neighborhood
Hanging out with nothing to do
Sometimes we go driving around
In my sister's pinto
Cruising with the windows rolled down
We listen to the radio station
We were too damn cool
To buy the eight track tape
There wasn't any good time
To want to be inside
My mama want to watch that TV
All goddamn night
I'd be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song
You'd have to wait till you could hear it on the
AM Radio AM Radio
Yeah you could hear the music on the
AM Radio AM Radio
I can still hear Mama say
Boy turn that radio down!
Aw, Mom. Not that show again! I don't want to watch that show! Can't we watch Good Times or Chico and the Man or something cool? Turn it off!
Things changed back in seventy-five
We were all growing up on the in and the outside
We got in trouble with the police man
We got busted getting high in the back of my friend's van
I remember 1977
I started going to concerts and I saw the Led Zeppelin
I got a guitar on Christmas day
I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come to
Santa Monica to teach me to play
teach me to play
There isn't any place that I need to go
There isn't anything that I need to know
That I did not learn on the radio
Everything gets stupid and I just don't know
where to find my happy I listen to my music on the
AM Radio AM Radio

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."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
it's all about nostalga. he's talking about growing up in the 70s. even though he had a fucked up childhood, he still had good times back in the day.
i love this song. to me, everclear can do no wrong.
Now the AM Radio is home to the likes of Rush Limbaugh...what the hell happened?
It's definitely obvious what this is about. Growing up in the seventies without all the computers and CD's and technological crap we have today and still having a great time. It reminds me of my own childhood. I remember my friend and I sittin' out on the sidewalk with a box of old junk trying to sell it for an extra buck and listening to the radio. I think I owned like one CD then. I remember kicking it in the summertime sunshine, going down to the creek with my dog and my friend and when I started going to concerts. It was good times back before the IPod and shiznit. Anybody else remember the good ol' days? lol
I believe this is a song about Art's childhood growing up and the music at that time.
Yep, nostalgia for the less technological 70's, before the disco era, and back when music was music.
It talks about how kids of the older generations made due without all of the technological advances that we have available to us today.
aint it kinda obvious wot this song is about? hello!
you are right Macca its REALLY obvious what that song is about, i like it
art talkin about his childhood back in the 70s, where life was a little simpler w/o all this technology. good nostalgic piece
