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.
Magick speaks with tongues of Fire, Fortune take my hand
Iron pounding dongs of Glory, Soaring on command
Screaming I rejoin the fray
Take me where the thunder walks, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Take my where the falcon flies, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Sound the trumpet, crack the mountain, let the arrow fly
Through the land of Lamentation, let the tidings fly
Mercury, the God and I
Take me where the thunder walks, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Take me where the falcon flies, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Spark the ashes, free the temple, stem the crimson tide
Toll the bells of Freedom souting
Praise for those who've died
Wield the Sword of Destiny
Take me where the thunder walks, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Take me where the falcon flies, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
If passion denies you, don't die on your knees
Fight with a vengeance what weakness decrees
The Wrath of the Tempest, the cries of the slain
Tragic in splendor, in death you are free
I follow the Sign, bring on the sound of thunder,
bring on the rain
Spirit of Dark Enchantment remember my name!!!
Take me where the thunder walks, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Take me where the falcon flies, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Take me where the thunder walks, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Take me where the falcon flies, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Take me where the thunder walks, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Take me where the falcon flies, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
A SYMPHONY OF STEELE

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."
