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”
Once upon a time
But not very long ago
I had someone in my heart
I didn't want to let it go
But he could never love me
I knew this to be true
Because the one he gave his heart to
Just happened to be you
You were the other girl
You were his and you made it clear
That no other girl could ever interfere
I couldn't help but want him
But you were the one who got him
The only one he wanted
I was just another girl...
He was all yours
He belonged to no other
And this would still be so
If it weren't for your own mother
She said no
That you could nver be
So you had to let him go
And now he belongs to me
You're just the other girl
And I want to make it clear
You can't have him back
And you won't interfere
I don't care how much you want him
I'm the one who got him
I was the one he wanted
You're just another girl
Now it's game over
You lose!
Never again will you be the one
He's gonna choose
You're just another girl
You should go find some other
You're just the other girl
So don't even bother
To take him away or break us apart
He'll always stay- he'll never break my heart
Like you broke his
Now you want him back
Well never again
Your game's over and I win!
You say that he's an angel
And I know that to be true
Because everyday I feel the love
That he once gave to you
You want him back in your life
You were a fool to let him go
You need him more than ever
But you should know that
You're just the other girl
And I want to make it clear
You can't have him back
And you won't interfere
I don't care how much you want him
I'm the one who got him
I was the one he wanted
You're just another girl
So talk about us if you will
Go behind my back to all your friends
But you will never have him back
'Cause we're never gonna end
How far did he take you?
What did you do?
Don't talk if you can't talk
And if you do
You should find out if what you're saying is true
Now it's game over
You lose!
Never again will you be the one
He's gonna choose
You're just another girl
You should go find some other
You're just the other girl
So don't even bother
To take him away or break us apart
He'll always stay- he'll never break my heart
Like you broke his
Now you want him back
Well never again
Your game's over and I win!
Never again, no...
Never again, no...
Never again - Oh
It's game over baby
And guess what?
I win!
But not very long ago
I had someone in my heart
I didn't want to let it go
But he could never love me
I knew this to be true
Because the one he gave his heart to
Just happened to be you
You were the other girl

That no other girl could ever interfere

Never again, no...
Never again - Oh
It's game over baby
And guess what?
I win!

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
