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”

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."

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.
oh god, this song makes me want to get it on with a girl.
anyhow, this is sex in song form.
She plays this song at EVERY show (or at least the 4 times I've seen her) and always mixes it up a little bit...it is a song about fucking, not about love...she always explains that. It is the hottest song ever. And what are you talking about Semicharmed? She's the one giving it, there are certainly no men involved :) Everyone should see her; she is one of the best live performers ever.
This song is pure Lesbian Viagra. Period.
Yes, Ferrick is a well known lesbian...
hah, not-quite-a-year-later, now that I'm out...
I can safely say. This is a great song for fucking. Not lovemaking -- fucking.
haha, this is great!
Yeah, um, I'm obsessed with this song... every time I drive in my car I have to play it once. Wow, what a powerful song... a few times I got so into it I almost drove off the road.
i would definitely fuck with this song on. love how she sings it. <3
love this song so damn horny...... congrats on comin out catherine hehehe
The passion in her voice takes me away to the backseat of her car.
OH yeah...this is a HOT song....deinitely meant for fucking...that raw animal lust kind...whew...
