In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Criado en la isla del coqui Puerto Rico es lo unico pa' mi
Honrado y alegre me siento de Yo ser Puertorriqueno.
Nunca vendere ,no te vendere...
Derramare sangre por mi bandera y no lo veo de otra manera
Tu odio me tiene agitado porque en mi patria me he dedicado.
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando, no te rindas (sin empezar!)
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando deja ya de ignorar.
Orgullo! con orgullo Yo naci con orgullo voy a morir.
Hecha pa alla!
No hay razon, razon por tu ignorancia acaba ya deja tu infancia
O es que eso se haria por nada por ver mi patria libre.
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando, no te rindas (sin empezar!)
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando deja ya de ignorar.
Orgullo! con orgullo Yo naci con orgullo voy a morir.
Nunca vendere (a mi patria) [x4]
Nunca Yo nunca vendere [x4]
Puerto Rico! Yo nunca vendere
Argentina! Yo nunca vendere
Brazil! Yo nunca vendere
Puerto Rico! Yo nunca vendere
Derramare sangre por mi bandera y no lo veo de otra manera
Tu odio me tiene agitado porque en mi patria me he dedicado.
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando, no te rindas (sin empezar!)
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando deja ya de ignorar.
Orgullo! con orgullo Yo naci con orgullo voy a morir.
Honrado y alegre me siento de Yo ser Puertorriqueno.
Nunca vendere ,no te vendere...
Derramare sangre por mi bandera y no lo veo de otra manera
Tu odio me tiene agitado porque en mi patria me he dedicado.
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando, no te rindas (sin empezar!)
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando deja ya de ignorar.
Orgullo! con orgullo Yo naci con orgullo voy a morir.
Hecha pa alla!
No hay razon, razon por tu ignorancia acaba ya deja tu infancia
O es que eso se haria por nada por ver mi patria libre.
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando, no te rindas (sin empezar!)
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando deja ya de ignorar.
Orgullo! con orgullo Yo naci con orgullo voy a morir.
Nunca vendere (a mi patria) [x4]
Nunca Yo nunca vendere [x4]
Puerto Rico! Yo nunca vendere
Argentina! Yo nunca vendere
Brazil! Yo nunca vendere
Puerto Rico! Yo nunca vendere
Derramare sangre por mi bandera y no lo veo de otra manera
Tu odio me tiene agitado porque en mi patria me he dedicado.
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando, no te rindas (sin empezar!)
Sigo buscando y chupando, practicando (no te rindas)
Sigo buscando y chupando deja ya de ignorar.
Orgullo! con orgullo Yo naci con orgullo voy a morir.

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."
Punchline

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.

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.
