I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I, I was the game he would play
He brought the clouds to my day
Then like a ray of light
You came my way one night
Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
Put all your fears to rest
Who do I love the best
Don't you know, don't you know?
You've got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
Over him
No, don't let him worry you so
Once I met you, I let go
Oh you can surely see
You're so much more to me
Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
You're better than all the rest
Who do I love the best
Don't you know, don't you know?
You've got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
All over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
All over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
Over him
He brought the clouds to my day
Then like a ray of light
You came my way one night
Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
Put all your fears to rest
Who do I love the best
Don't you know, don't you know?
You've got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
Over him
No, don't let him worry you so
Once I met you, I let go
Oh you can surely see
You're so much more to me
Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
You're better than all the rest
Who do I love the best
Don't you know, don't you know?
You've got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
All over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
All over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
Over him

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
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.
It's about a woman who fell for a guy... probably was unrequited or he hurt her badly... then this new guy came along and made her forget the other guy. She realized that this new guy was the real deal and head and shoulders above the last one who didn't even really care about her now that she looks back on things.
