This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I stood close enough to hear you say
"Do as the beautiful ones do"
Tore out my picture from its frame
I just wanted to be one of you
Standing on the outside, lookin'
Funny how you see the truth
But the feeling does come back to you
"She's crazy as anyone can be"
That's what they say, they say of me
What wanting love can make one do
It isn't my fault, heredity
Standing on the outside, lookin', lookin'
State of grace, state of sin
Standing on the outside, lookin', lookin'
I cannot feel a single thing
But the feeling does come back again
This morning feels like yesterday
And yesterday follows me around
Where do you go when no one cares?
Six feet under, underground
Standing on the outside, lookin', lookin'
State of grace, state of sin
Standing on the outside, lookin', lookin'
I cannot feel a single thing
But the feeling will come back again, again
"Do as the beautiful ones do"
Tore out my picture from its frame
I just wanted to be one of you
Standing on the outside, lookin'
Funny how you see the truth
But the feeling does come back to you
"She's crazy as anyone can be"
That's what they say, they say of me
What wanting love can make one do
It isn't my fault, heredity
Standing on the outside, lookin', lookin'
State of grace, state of sin
Standing on the outside, lookin', lookin'
I cannot feel a single thing
But the feeling does come back again
This morning feels like yesterday
And yesterday follows me around
Where do you go when no one cares?
Six feet under, underground
Standing on the outside, lookin', lookin'
State of grace, state of sin
Standing on the outside, lookin', lookin'
I cannot feel a single thing
But the feeling will come back again, again

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."
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is about never finding your place, never fitting in. Everyone around you seems to have their stuff together, know what they're doing, know where they're going and no problem ever comes up that they can't take care of. That makes you feel like even more of a mess. It feels like no matter what you do or how hard you try you just never quite belong. You're never quite good enough. That's what it sounds like to me on it's own, but it fit perfectly on the "Songs in the Key of X" CD and that it summed Mulder up perfectly. Except for the "she" parts.
