We can't agree on a single thing,
I don't know why.
We almost killed each other on the inside.
I managed to be a jerk anyway,
it doesn't have to be this way
Forget about the things I said
I make no excuse for them.
I want to start again
We all walk our separate ways
I don't know why,
I hope we meet again somewhere some day.
I can't change the way you feel
It doesn't have to be this way
Forget about the things I said,
I make no excuse for them
I want to start again
I think about the two of us,
I don't know why,
I feel good on the inside.
It's different now,
I'm one i stand alone.
I have to be this way

    this song is so much more than anything people are giving it credit for. some people think it's just bouncing souls trying to be 'emo' but when it comes down to it, every soing written by them is not just wirtten for show--it has some sort of personal reference and point in it. that's what makes me love the bouncing souls so much more. In this song, it's someone coming to the reliazation that there are good times in a relationship with someone, where there are fueds and conflict, in the end, the person needs to have their own opinions [i'm one, i stand alone] even if they are at disagreement, the thigns that were said in anger are regretted. 'forget about that things i said,i make no excuse for them'. but yes, inevitably, all i can do is wish that an ex would write this kind of song for me. what a way to get a girl's attention. <3

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
