This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's so late that it's early in the morning
And there's nothing good on TV
And then with no early warning
This thought comes over me
We'll write a song about trying to stay awake
And it's getting late
In the morning you're out of tune
you can't write a song in the afternoon
But when it's half past midnight
You put words to chords 'til it feels right
The letters are scrambled
And I can't even say what I word right
It's a feeling you get when your hands is awake and
your mind are in bed
The lyrics ramble
It's an insomniac's delight
but you can bet tonight we might wake up the dead
We'll write a song about trying to stay awake
And it's getting late
In the morning you're out of tune
you can't write a song in the afternoon
But when it's half past midnight
You put words to chords 'til it feels right
I'm not at all tired
Heck, I'm not tired at all
I guess I'll just sing everything that I think of
It's not that I'm wired
I'm just bouncing of the wall
The words ring as they bring me to the brink of...
Writing a song about trying to stay awake
And it's gottec late
In the morning you're out of tune
you can't write a song in the afternoon
Put words to chords 'til it felt right
And now it's daylight
And there's nothing good on TV
And then with no early warning
This thought comes over me
We'll write a song about trying to stay awake
And it's getting late
In the morning you're out of tune
you can't write a song in the afternoon
But when it's half past midnight
You put words to chords 'til it feels right
The letters are scrambled
And I can't even say what I word right
It's a feeling you get when your hands is awake and
your mind are in bed
The lyrics ramble
It's an insomniac's delight
but you can bet tonight we might wake up the dead
We'll write a song about trying to stay awake
And it's getting late
In the morning you're out of tune
you can't write a song in the afternoon
But when it's half past midnight
You put words to chords 'til it feels right
I'm not at all tired
Heck, I'm not tired at all
I guess I'll just sing everything that I think of
It's not that I'm wired
I'm just bouncing of the wall
The words ring as they bring me to the brink of...
Writing a song about trying to stay awake
And it's gottec late
In the morning you're out of tune
you can't write a song in the afternoon
Put words to chords 'til it felt right
And now it's daylight

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical

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.
