This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Way back when the church was young in the day of Pentecost
There were a few good men goin' around the land preachin' Jesus to the lost
They came from different places, different walks of life
They didn't have no denomination, they just called themselves the Body of Christ
There's a lot of good people who love the Lord, even in the world today
They want to bring the wanderers in, for somehow we've lost our way
We need to reach out to our brothers and take our bibles of the shelf
And put our differences aside and stop fighting amongst ourselves
We see you sittin' around here fuzzing with each other
While the lost and dyin' world is goin' to hell
Just put your hand in my hand, we been fighting long enough
Let's get on down to God's business: the business of love
Yes, the business of love
Well, some like the music quit and some like the music load
And some people sit and listen and some people dance around
Just look up at the rainbow that God put in the sky
He uses all of the colors to make the light of his love shine
We're still sittin' around here fuzzing with each other
While the lost and dyin' world is goin' to hell
Just put your hand in my hand, we've been fighting long enough
Let's get on down to God's business: the business of love
Yes, the business of love
We're still sittin' around here fuzzing with each other
While the lost and dyin' world is goin' to hell
Just put your hand in my hand, we've been fighting long enough
Let's get on down to God's business: the business of love
Yes, the business of love
Down to God's business
Put your hand in my hand, we've been fighting long enough
Let's get on down to God's business: the business of love
Yes, the business of love
There were a few good men goin' around the land preachin' Jesus to the lost
They came from different places, different walks of life
They didn't have no denomination, they just called themselves the Body of Christ
There's a lot of good people who love the Lord, even in the world today
They want to bring the wanderers in, for somehow we've lost our way
We need to reach out to our brothers and take our bibles of the shelf
And put our differences aside and stop fighting amongst ourselves
We see you sittin' around here fuzzing with each other
While the lost and dyin' world is goin' to hell
Just put your hand in my hand, we been fighting long enough
Let's get on down to God's business: the business of love
Yes, the business of love
Well, some like the music quit and some like the music load
And some people sit and listen and some people dance around
Just look up at the rainbow that God put in the sky
He uses all of the colors to make the light of his love shine
We're still sittin' around here fuzzing with each other
While the lost and dyin' world is goin' to hell
Just put your hand in my hand, we've been fighting long enough
Let's get on down to God's business: the business of love
Yes, the business of love
We're still sittin' around here fuzzing with each other
While the lost and dyin' world is goin' to hell
Just put your hand in my hand, we've been fighting long enough
Let's get on down to God's business: the business of love
Yes, the business of love
Down to God's business
Put your hand in my hand, we've been fighting long enough
Let's get on down to God's business: the business of love
Yes, the business of love

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,

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
