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”
Hold on, babe
Hold on, baby
Wherever you are this ones for you
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
I cry
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
Then why
Growing up with you by my side
I thought that life would be so easy, yeah
Now that you're gone
And my heart stands all alone
I have realised what it is that I'm missing
Cause it'll not come back
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant ot be
I cry (I cry I cry) Come on baby
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
Then why (then why)
Isn't gone or
Is it true that I'm just assuming
That our hearts will never beat as one
Cause it's so hard for me to forget
All the plans and thoughts we said
I guess that's why you hurt me when you said
Hold on, be strong
Move on, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
You said
Hold on, be strong
Move on, goodbye
I've tried, I've cried
But goodbye
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
I cry (I cry)
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
Then why (why my love)
Hey, it's me again
You know, I'm not much of a talker
But I just wanted to let you know
That I think about you every day
Deep in my heart I still believe
That there'll be a time
When we're together again
I love you and I miss you
Tell me why it hurts
When we still love watch other
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
I cry (goodbye goodbye)
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
Then why
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
I cry
Memories of you and me and
If this way is meant to be
Then goodbye my love
Hold on, baby
Wherever you are this ones for you
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
I cry
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
Then why
Growing up with you by my side
I thought that life would be so easy, yeah
Now that you're gone
And my heart stands all alone
I have realised what it is that I'm missing
Cause it'll not come back
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant ot be
I cry (I cry I cry) Come on baby
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
Then why (then why)
Isn't gone or
Is it true that I'm just assuming
That our hearts will never beat as one
Cause it's so hard for me to forget
All the plans and thoughts we said
I guess that's why you hurt me when you said
Hold on, be strong
Move on, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
You said
Hold on, be strong
Move on, goodbye
I've tried, I've cried
But goodbye
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
I cry (I cry)
Memories of you and me and
If this way was meant to be
Then why (why my love)
Hey, it's me again
You know, I'm not much of a talker

Memories of you and me and

Memories of you and me and
If this way is meant to be
Then goodbye my love

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,
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
