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.
Yeah
One, two, princes kneel before you
That's what I said, now
Princes, Princes who adore you

Ain't in his head, now

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."

Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
if they were just a one or two-hit wonder, then how come they have a greatest hits album out? little miss can't be wrong is a good one too - you should listen to them and then try to say they don't have talent.
one-hit wonder doesn't mean no talent. and greatest hits album doesn't mean not a one-hit wonder. practically every band that ever signed with a major label puts out at least one greatest hits album.
This is such a funny song, and I really like it!! It aleays makes me in a good mood =)
well to be honest, the whole album is excellent and if any one of you doesn't have it you should check it out.
I first heard this song on VH1's 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever. lol. I think they were way off on this one, cuz i like it a lot. Everyone who likes this song, send an angry email to VH1 or something.
this is ma song....one two princess neal b 4 me thats what i said now<br />
@MeanLookstheIII I agree! This is a wildly romantic song. And the music is so bouncy, yet the lyrics are tinged with sadness. I love it.
I don't really think thing song has any really deep meaning, compared to songs that are ambiguous and open to interpretation. I agree that it's probably about a guy (the singer) eager to convince a girl that although that the "other guy's" superficies may be more appealing, he's the one she could be comfortable with. I don't think the meaning is what makes this song.. it's because its so catchy and bubbly and happpy :)
In the album cover they say its about Blues Travelers John Popper
I'd say the one part that does leave the song up to a bit of interpretation is...<br /> <br /> "One has diamonds in his pockets<br /> That's some bread, now<br /> This one, said he wants to buy you rockets<br /> Ain't in his head, now"<br /> <br /> Rockets especially seems a bit of a stange thing for someone to buy romance with it. Doesn't really seem to fit in with the bands image as a whole but one thing that always struck me is that could be after a double meaning for cold war politics with the "two princes" being the US and USSR looking to "romance" other nations.
@alanaraee3 are you daft?
Actually, the lead singer lost his voice for years. About 6 months ago I heard him on the radio, and his voice is back, but he's being really cautious with it...can't blame him, imo.
Yea fleaaaaa....These guys are proof that just because the radio liked only a few songs, it doesn't mean those were the only good ones. These guys are a good, solid band, and it still annoys me that they were on VH1's stupid list for most annoying songs or whatever. peace
When I hear this song, it makes me want to stick needles in my eyes.
wilson1983 and MeanLookstheIII u both are right but who the fuck is vh1 ne ways? they said jimmi hendrix was a one hit wonder they are idiots!
legend song. nuff said.
