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.
(This goes out to you), this goes out to you you you yeah yeah, this goes out to you you you yeah
This is dedicated to you you you yeah, dedicated to you you yeah
Dedicated to you you you, dedicated to you you you yeah
It was such a mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow day
When you walk by, the sunshine
Mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow day
I, I can't deny the way you caught my eye
I mean something struck and refilled up the sky
And everything on you intoxicates
It's a mystery, I don't know why
I let you kick in my do not disturb sign
But I guess your mouth in motion got me so high
And I could tell it's pure just by the taste
And you kiss me
So tell me you wanna get close somewhere far away, far away
Don't worry about your loving it won't go to waste, go to waste
Don't ever change your flavor 'cause I love the taste, love the taste
And if you ask me where I wanna go, I say all the way
'Cause she's just like nothing
That I ever seen before
Baby please don't change nothing
Because your flavors so original
And it all started when she said
Hey hey hey, smacking that strawberry bubblegum
You really got me when you said
Hey hey hey, popping that strawberry bubblegum
This goes out to you you you, this goes out to you you you
So tell why, we're making love like professionals on the first time
Acting unprofessional but it works out
'Cause you don't wanna work here anyway
And baby I, girl I'm all addicted and I won't fight
You and me that's the recipe for a good time
And it ain't really nothing but clothes in the way
Tell me you wanna get close somewhere far away, far away
Don't worry about your loving it won't go to waste, go to waste
Don't ever change your flavor 'cause I love the taste, love the taste
And if you ask me where I wanna go, I say all the way
'Cause she's just like nothing
That I ever seen before
Baby please don't change nothing
Because your flavors so original
And it all started when she said
Hey hey hey, smacking that strawberry bubblegum
You really got me when you said
Hey hey hey, popping that strawberry bubblegum
My lips are strawberry, strawberry, strawberry bubblegum
My lips are strawberry, strawberry, strawberry bubblegum
She's my little strawberry strawberry strawberry bubblegum
My lips are strawberry, strawberry, strawberry bubblegum
Hey, hey, hey, hey, my little hey, hey, hey
Come in, sit down
Let me elevate your appetite
Any flavor you want
Now my selection is the tasty kind
But you, you're delicious on your own
After I break you down my fingers
You're so sweet
That's what you told me when I taste on your lips
Duck under the door
Girl before they pick up your scent
If you'd be strawberry bubblegum
Then I'd be your blueberry lollipop
If you'd be strawberry bubblegum
Then I'd be your blueberry lollipop
And then I'd love you 'til I make you pop
Strawberry bubblegum
Then I'd be your blueberry lollipop
Little girl won't you be my strawberry bubblegum
Then I'd be your blueberry lollipop
And then I'd love you 'til I make you pop
Hey, hey, hey
My little strawberry strawberry strawberry bubblegum
My little strawberry strawberry strawberry bubblegum
My little strawberry strawberry strawberry bubblegum
My little strawberry strawberry strawberry bubblegum
If you'd be strawberry bubblegum
Then I'd be your blueberry lollipop
Little girl won't you be my strawberry bubblegum
Then I'd be your blueberry lollipop
And then I'd love you 'til I'll make you pop
Strawberry bubblegum
Then I'd be your blueberry lollipop
Little girl if you'd be my strawberry bubblegum
Then I'd be your blueberry lollipop
And then I'd love you 'til I make you pop
This is dedicated to you you you yeah, dedicated to you you yeah
Dedicated to you you you, dedicated to you you you yeah

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 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,

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.
I love this song. my favorite on the album. it just exudes sex and jazz and is so smooth. favorite line is "And then I'd love you 'til I'll make you pop"!. This is a great bedroom song.
