This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You took one final look, my tears they turned to ice
A frozen sacrifice, your body's heat's my paradise
I've built up many layers but none can keep me warm
Deceiving is believing in the calm before the storm
We complicate our lives with things to define
I threw it all away to see what was mine
Cleared out my insides, echoing hollow
I'll forever wallow, in your footsteps I follow
Warily I search for solidarity
In our disparity, your love for me was charity
This is reality, for all that it's worth
If you're not perfect then I just don't belong on this earth
And just like a disease
All the faces I see remind me of you
'Cause they seem just like you, wanna reach out, touch you
All I have is me, all I want is you, they seem just like you
Why can't I forget you all I have in me is this memory
Fading alone
I'm an array of imperfections on display
My life has been on layaway since the day you went away
I've watched myself decay, the ripe is turning rotten
Feeling nostalgic, now you're gone but not forgotten
I lack luster, what was new has turned to rust
I'm filled up with disgust, wish the world would turn to dust
It's hard to readjust 'cause now I find it strange
To trust in something that will constantly change
A long range exchange, for years I've sought you
The pain I've brought you, you've taught me what I've taught you
We can't escape ourselves or even one another
I will never recover this is love like no other
I'm gonna rip, rip you out of me
I'm fuck, fuck you out of me
Never you
Never you
Never you
Never you
They could never be you
Never be you
Never be you
They could never be
They could never be you
A frozen sacrifice, your body's heat's my paradise
I've built up many layers but none can keep me warm
Deceiving is believing in the calm before the storm
We complicate our lives with things to define
I threw it all away to see what was mine
Cleared out my insides, echoing hollow
I'll forever wallow, in your footsteps I follow
Warily I search for solidarity
In our disparity, your love for me was charity
This is reality, for all that it's worth
If you're not perfect then I just don't belong on this earth
And just like a disease
All the faces I see remind me of you
'Cause they seem just like you, wanna reach out, touch you
All I have is me, all I want is you, they seem just like you
Why can't I forget you all I have in me is this memory
Fading alone
I'm an array of imperfections on display
My life has been on layaway since the day you went away
I've watched myself decay, the ripe is turning rotten
Feeling nostalgic, now you're gone but not forgotten
I lack luster, what was new has turned to rust
I'm filled up with disgust, wish the world would turn to dust
It's hard to readjust 'cause now I find it strange
To trust in something that will constantly change
A long range exchange, for years I've sought you
The pain I've brought you, you've taught me what I've taught you
We can't escape ourselves or even one another
I will never recover this is love like no other
I'm gonna rip, rip you out of me
I'm fuck, fuck you out of me
Never you
Never you
Never you
Never you
They could never be you
Never be you
Never be you
They could never be
They could never be you

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."
Gentle Hour

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
