Burning questions
We are told they've gone out
Time you learned your lesson
We all know that
Tell me boys, you out there?
The flesh is weak the mind slow
By now, you could say there's a problem
And it rained down on me
And it seemed to get into me
It poured down over me
I'm wet I'm wet through
But I still want more
Peace, love, now what?
Don't go telling me you let them
Oh delighted, we all know
We won't be alive any more and
By now you could say there's a problem
And it rained down on me
And it seemed to get into me
And I'm soaked to my skin
And I'm wet I'm wet through
I ought to be in
Will you let me have a sign?
And somebody ought to reply
We'll take anything at all
Understand me?
Fun times we have known
That's what we're like
Just taken them all
And I still don't remember how I got home
Don't tell me where we're going
Now I know we won't be alive any more
More more more more more
We are told they've gone out
Time you learned your lesson
We all know that
Tell me boys, you out there?
The flesh is weak the mind slow
By now, you could say there's a problem
And it rained down on me
And it seemed to get into me
It poured down over me
I'm wet I'm wet through
But I still want more
Peace, love, now what?
Don't go telling me you let them
Oh delighted, we all know
We won't be alive any more and
By now you could say there's a problem
And it rained down on me
And it seemed to get into me
And I'm soaked to my skin
And I'm wet I'm wet through
I ought to be in
Will you let me have a sign?
And somebody ought to reply
We'll take anything at all
Understand me?
Fun times we have known
That's what we're like
Just taken them all
And I still don't remember how I got home
Don't tell me where we're going
Now I know we won't be alive any more
More more more more more

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
I think a lot of The Sunday's songs are harping back to childhood. This one is one of my favourites because I see it as having two levels. I think this song is about transgression, and the feeling that once you've transgressed you can't reverse it. The sweet thing is the transgression is, on a basic level, a child who wants to explore the outdoors after their parents have gone out.
"We are told they've gone out/Time you learned your lesson"
"Tell me boys are you out there? The flesh is weak and the mind slow"
"It rained down on me, And it seemed to get into me" / "By now you could say there's a problem"
"I'm wet right through but I still want more"
"Peace, love, now what?" / "We all know we won't be alive anymore"
We know that, like the water which will dry soon, the parents will forgive them for exploring the outdoors the whole way through! And sure enough, at the end of the song, there's a realisation from her as an adult - "Fun times we have known. That's what we're like, we've just taken them all" And she still doesn't remember how she got home but somehow she did. It's about experience and the play between curiosity and authority figures. It helps to situate guilt for transgression in a childhood setting to make it innocent rather than terrible. The longing for "more" - curiosity, spirit of exploration - is not wrong, but natural.
@carrie1103 SO TRUE!!!!
