This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Baby, baby why can't you sit still?
Who killed that bird out on you window sill?
Are you the reason that he broke his back?
Did I see you laugh about that?
If I come on like a dream?
Will you let me show you what I mean?
Will you let me come on inside?
Will you let it glide?
Can I have some remedy?
Remedy for me please
Cause if I had some remedy
I'd take enough to please me
Baby, baby why did you dye your hair?
Why you always keeping with your mother's dare?
Baby why's who's who, who know you too?
Did the other children scold on you?
If I come on like a dream?
Would you let me show you what I mean?
If you let me come on inside?
Will you let it slide?
Who killed that bird out on you window sill?

Will you let me come on inside?
Will you let it glide?
Can I have some remedy?
Remedy for me please
Cause if I had some remedy
I'd take enough to please me
Baby, baby why did you dye your hair?
Why you always keeping with your mother's dare?
Baby why's who's who, who know you too?

Would you let me show you what I mean?
If you let me come on inside?
Will you let it slide?

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song absolutely rocks. But to me it's about this good girl who has a wild streak that wants to be explored. And there's this bad boy who wants to bring out that wild side and his, and therefore making it hers, remedy is deflowering this diamond in the rough.
This is another song by the Black Crowes about a girl who is strung out on heroin. The guys part is supposed to be the words of "heroin" speaking to her.
"Baby, baby, why can't you sit still?" is about how in withdrawal you become more and more uncomfortable until you can't seem to stop squirming to try to find a comfortable position which you will never find. (similar to how they describe restless leg syndrome on those commercials)
The transition, "If I come on like a dream, will you let me show you what I mean, will you let me come inside, will you let it glide?" This all basically means, will she shoot some heroin (come inside, let it glide) so she won't feel dopesick anymore.
The girl's part is the response. "Can I have some remedy, I'd take enough to please me." Basically she is saying "Yes, can I have some heroin?" "If I did have some heroin right now, not only would I use it to make myself stop being dopesick, I would take enough to get me really high."
This is my absolute favorite song right now. To me it's about a girl who's unhappy and she tries to hide it by always being on the go, or up to no good.
i like this song but in the vid the lead singer has the microphone IN his mouth making it hard to understand what he is singing without the lyrics right in front of you! it's about what BeautifulDisaster said(i think)
i think its a girl who hatres her last boyfriend and the singer needs a girl (remedy) and hes asking her if she will be his girl(remedy)
just my take
I've always thought this song was about getting some physical relief of some sort. Whether that be chemical, sexual, whatever..... The song has a lot of sexual overtones.
It's funny what some of the thoughts are on a lot of these heroin songs. Next, I think I'll check out that one by Unkle Craker (sp?) you know..."follow me". Should be interesting.
Sry double post >
It's a song comparing the craving for chemicals with sensual lust for easy women. You can never get enough.<br /> It's straight up the Jagger/Richards' alley.
I stumbled across this on youtube. . .they explain the song a little. Love these guys so much. Got to see them in September!

Remedy is my favorite Black Crowes song. (And that's a bold statement, cause I LOVE them all.) I am a little annoyed with all of the heroin references on this forum. I don't think every song is about freaking heroin, and when I read those posts, it makes me sad. (I'm sure some songs are about drug use, but come on...) Can't anyone have a positive outlook on a song anymore? Geez.
When I was like 14 my older brother told me he heard this song was about Aids relief I think it was. I have no idea if thats true but I've always thought that cuz I was young and thats what he told me. You can kinda see that in the lyrics, like I said I have no idea if its right or not but maybe something to think about. Also, I always thought let me come inside will you let it glide was a sexual thing. I can't imagine how its not, and that could relate to aids. Debate amongst yourselves
