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.
I've been thinking bout the way I see,
Myself and I just can't understand why I say
All those hurtful things about myself,
My insecurities, they don't seem to just go away
And it's hard for me to understand,
You loving me, through every mistake that I make
I'm so glad that you will never leave,
Keep reminding me, how you see me every day that I wake
I'm so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful uh oh uh oh
I'm so beautiful, so natural, not typical
I'm so beautiful, there's nobody else made like me
I'm so B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, that's me
V. 2 and 3
(I'm so B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, that's me)
Yes you are
Yes you are
Yes you are
Yes you are
Yes you are
Yes you are
I love the way you made me smile,
Cause it fits my face, it's so wonderful, unbelievable
And every color in my eye is just the perfect shade,
Its so incredible, indescribable
Now you may think I'm not a perfect size or overweight,
But I'm huggable, oh so lovable
Let's put away our silly thoughts,
And fall in love with life,
Cause there's so many reasons for you to smile
I'm so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful uh oh uh oh
I'm so beautiful, so natural, not typical
I'm so beautiful, there's nobody else made like me
I'm so B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, that's me
V. 2 and 3
(I'm so B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, that's me)
That's me, I like a girl who got some confidence, uncommon, but with common sense
Quick to help her mama with the groceries and condiments
Doesn't live fast, but loves life and gives compliments
Someone who I can ask about life and knows what time it is
Never late to meet me even though I always am
Give her some sorry excuse but she always understands
She can take me in some sports basketball was her thang
But at night she throws some heels on but her love is still the same
Don't need a cover girl or Maybelline cause maybe I lean a lil' closer
To the side of viewing her as a queen
And overthrows my life with the sense of humor she brings
I'd give my life away to hear her sing
I'm so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful uh oh uh oh
I'm so beautiful, so natural, not typical
I'm so beautiful, there's nobody else made like me
I'm so B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, that's me
V. 2 and 3
(I'm so B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, that's me)
This goes out to all my ladies out there
You're beautiful
So don't be afraid to be you
Let your hair down, put your smile on
You're beautiful.
You're Beautiful! Yeah.
Myself and I just can't understand why I say

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."

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
