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.
When you're down and lonely
And there's no one to call,
Though you run for someone,
Who prevents you to fall
Come again, Come again
No darkness is the trade
Come again, come again
Cause I will make your day
All you need is an angel
One is a friend to lean on to
All you need is an angel
Telling you something
That will pull you through
You don't have to think about
You don't have to worry,
Love will never let you down
All you need is an angel,
I want to be your angel
All you need is a word
One is a call and a kiss or two
When you're out on your own,
Think for yourself,
But an angel will see you through
You don't have to think about
You don't have to worry
Love will never let your down
All you need is an angel
I want to be your angel
LADADI O-HEYO
Little do I know about
Where you want to be
But in and out of trouble,
I hope it is with me
Come again, come again
Here's your golden plate
Come again, come again
And I will make your day
And there's no one to call,
Though you run for someone,
Who prevents you to fall
Come again, Come again
No darkness is the trade
Come again, come again
Cause I will make your day
All you need is an angel
One is a friend to lean on to
All you need is an angel
Telling you something
That will pull you through
You don't have to think about
You don't have to worry,
Love will never let you down
All you need is an angel,
I want to be your angel
All you need is a word
One is a call and a kiss or two
When you're out on your own,
Think for yourself,
But an angel will see you through
You don't have to think about
You don't have to worry
Love will never let your down
All you need is an angel
I want to be your angel
LADADI O-HEYO
Little do I know about
Where you want to be
But in and out of trouble,
I hope it is with me
Come again, come again
Here's your golden plate
Come again, come again
And I will make your day

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."
