Promises

The Boxer Rebellion

I never knew how much you'd want
To live again with innocence
Like the good old days, our glory years
When you still were here

You would promise me we wouldn't change
Though we were young we'd stay the same
That I'd always be in your life
But we soon move on

And we can make promises
Forget the way we live

I would dream of days when I could leave
This place we grew to disbelieve
Now I'm wide wake from looking back
How soon our time has gone

And we can make promises
Forget the way we live
I can excite your soul
I can excite your soul

It's never too late
It's never too late
And we can run away
And we can run away

And we can make promises
Forget the way we live
It's never too late
It's never too late

Run

    Boxer rebellion. Great song. This song talks about how me make promises forgetting that nothing is constant in this world, this that led to the promises would definately change.

Mountain Song
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."
