Yeah! Yeah!
Every single day when I get out of bed
Well the chances are I'm gonna wind up dead
Well, don't you know that it'll be alright?
Well what I don't know about is bottoming out
On an obsession putting me up on a mountainside
Up high, yeah that's right
Look down I see, all the distance around
Staring back at me, wondering why
What I see makes it hard to believe
Birds-eye-view of terrain open wide!
Go! Go to the sky!
Devote and try
Don't you want to believe?
Go! Go to the sky!
Devote your life, no boundaries
Now taking a chance, what a better way?
At least you tried, that's more than a lot can say
Thinking will only take you so far
Freedom unbinding, binding your feet again
What a better time to get up and on?
An environment to conquer and carve
No boundaries, what a maze of trees
With an opening so deep inside
No sketchin' on a session
You wanted a world of progression
And we're just trying to make it out alive!
Go! Go to the sky!
Devote and try
Don't you want to believe?
Go! Go to the sky!
Devote your life, no boundaries!
No way to con?ne!
Here on this day
Don't turn away
Fed up with just saying I might
Now out on a limb
There's no giving in
And I'm not gonna take it this time
Well here upon this day
I won't turn away
I'm fed up with just saying I might
Now out on a limb
There's no giving in
And we're not gonna take it this time
Out there in the clear!
Wrapped around by a blistering degree
I'm on top of the world and serene
Wide awake, wide awake, are we?
Are we?
Now what in the hell, what am I supposed to do?
Just turn around and regret it
Or press on and make it through?
See life is a lesson, one big fucking session
And it's right there in front of you
Go! Go to the sky!
Devote and try
Don't you want to believe?
Go! Go to the sky!
Devote your life, no boundaries!
Go! Go to the sky!
Devote your life
Don't you want to believe?
Go! Go to the sky!
Devote your life, no boundaries!

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
