This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
(Do do do, do, do do do, do)
Look around and see where we are
Is this Heaven, is this Mars?
'Cause I lose touch when you touch me
So touch me again
We could drive all night or stay in
You know we're gonna stay in
Pick out a movie that we don't watch
'Cause it's feeling good
Like the California sun, counting hundreds one by one
Driving your daddy's Mercedes like two bandits on the run
Like your first teenage kiss, taste the cherry on your lips
Or like summer in Paris, you know
It's feeling good, good, good, good
Good, good, good
It's feeling good, good, good, good
Good, good, good
It's feeling good
(Do do do, do, do do do, do)
You know we like to keep it lowkey
Windows down, feel the breeze
No cares, no worries, just you and me
You and I, we don't have to try
We just work, can't deny
I know you'll stay by my side, ride or die
'Cause it's feeling good
Like the California sun, counting hundreds one by one
Driving your daddy's Mercedes like two bandits on the run
Like your first teenage kiss, taste the cherry on your lips
Or like summer in Paris, you know
It's feeling good
It's feeling good
It's feeling good, good, good, good
Good, good, good
It's feeling good, good, good, good
Good, good, good
It's feeling
'Cause it's feeling good
It's feeling good
Like the California sun, counting hundreds one by one
Driving your daddy's Mercedes like two bandits on the run
Like your first teenage kiss, taste the cherry on your lips
Or like summer in Paris, you know
It's feeling good, good
It's feeling good, good
It's feeling good, good
It's feeling good, good
It's feeling good
Look around and see where we are
Is this Heaven, is this Mars?
'Cause I lose touch when you touch me
So touch me again
We could drive all night or stay in
You know we're gonna stay in
Pick out a movie that we don't watch
'Cause it's feeling good
Like the California sun, counting hundreds one by one
Driving your daddy's Mercedes like two bandits on the run
Like your first teenage kiss, taste the cherry on your lips
Or like summer in Paris, you know
It's feeling good, good, good, good
Good, good, good
It's feeling good, good, good, good
Good, good, good
It's feeling good
(Do do do, do, do do do, do)
You know we like to keep it lowkey
Windows down, feel the breeze
No cares, no worries, just you and me
You and I, we don't have to try
We just work, can't deny
I know you'll stay by my side, ride or die
'Cause it's feeling good
Like the California sun, counting hundreds one by one
Driving your daddy's Mercedes like two bandits on the run
Like your first teenage kiss, taste the cherry on your lips
Or like summer in Paris, you know
It's feeling good
It's feeling good
It's feeling good, good, good, good
Good, good, good
It's feeling good, good, good, good
Good, good, good
It's feeling
'Cause it's feeling good
It's feeling good
Like the California sun, counting hundreds one by one
Driving your daddy's Mercedes like two bandits on the run
Like your first teenage kiss, taste the cherry on your lips
Or like summer in Paris, you know
It's feeling good, good
It's feeling good, good
It's feeling good, good
It's feeling good, good
It's feeling good

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."

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,

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.
Everybody was born in it Sure as hell gonna die in it Some people don't give a shit Whether or not they're full of it
It's on my mind most of the time That's when you find we all go blind Then it will start to get in our hearts It's gone too far, that's who we are
It's a monster We all have within us It's a monster It's a monster Turns us into sinners It's a monster
It started when I played with it It turned into a habit And after that once you've been bit You can't seem to get rid of it
It's on my mind most of the time That's when you find we all go blind Then it will start to get in our hearts It's gone too far, that's who we are
It's a monster We all have within us It's a monster It's a monster Turns us into sinners It's a monster
The song is about a monster ****!
