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 got a flair of the hair on my shoulder
It's apparent it's there and it's bolder
Like I show you my cards, I'm no folder
Yes imma soldier
Against everything square and I'm sightly
Yes I know I look good so don't fine me
All I need is a clip or scrunchy
And then I'm ready
Because I rock a side pony
Baby I'm just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
Rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
Who doesn't love a side pony?
Baby I'm just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
'Cause I met ya, ya been in my stable
And I see you whenever I'm able
Though we're keeping it under the table
It ain't a fable
Why can we hide in away in your derby
We're having fun and we're keeping it flirty
Everybody might say that it's dirty
But don't you worry
Because I rock a side pony
Baby I'm just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
A side pony
Who doesn't love a side pony?
Baby I'm just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony

Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
Because I rock a side pony - yeah
Baby I'm just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
Who doesn't love a side pony?
Baby I'm just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
'Cause I rock a side pony
Baby I'm just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
'Cause I rock a side pony
Baby I'm just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side
I rock-rock a side

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
It's about doing your own thing.
