Waiting
For you
Patiently hoping
Your feelings might change
Breathing
For me now
Guess I'm coping
But at least I'm feeling
Don't take it for what you see
Cause it could be worse
Explosion to fade out
Cut to a girl
Lying motionless in the sand
Wondering what we're about
Surround now the sound of wings
Softly pushing air
I want to know how flying feels
As we run with the seasons, you change
While I'm standing here
Waiting for you
All too often we doubt
Something so true
It leaves us naked where we stand
I saw your breath make a cloud
Raining an ocean
Of your preciousness in my hand
I think I know how dying feels
And if this is all just a dream
What's one more year
Waiting for you
I'm breathing for you
What a price to pay
To want to know how flying feels
You want to know how flying feels
I think I know how dying feels
Cause I'm still
Waiting for you
Facing that I'm slowly dying here
Waiting for you
Breathing for you
And that's why I'm slowly dying here
Can't you see that's my least of fears

    I once heard a rumor that the "cut to a girl lying motionless in the sand" (my favorite line by the way) was a reference to one of Jimmi's girlfriends he found outside his beach house who he found dead, I have no idea the validity of this rumor, however I do like to think about it while listening to the song to give it a little more emotional impact.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

Magical
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.
