The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Fellow colleges, distinguished members of the press, ladies
And gentlemen:
I would like to take this opportunity to personally and humbly thank
Each and every one of you for joining us at this particular event.
It is my hope that we can utilize this meeting of the minds to
Successfully convey the essence of our platform to you, a grand and
Noble audience.
As I look out among the faces, I reflect, taking console in the words
Of Franklin Delano Roosevelt who said, we have nothing to fear but
Fear itself.
Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing
Next to you, may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste, this is true any a young person
Has fallen prey, to the substances that alter the perspective of any
Right thinking individual.
The problem with the youth today is, because of their inexperience
With the world, they cannot attempt to grasp the ideals, set forth by
Myself and those who preceded me.
But, as history has shown, they will come around, and embrace our
Philosophies and become model citizens in their own right, God bless
This great nation.

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."

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.
"THINK: IT'S NOT ILLEGAL - YET! THINK: IT'S NOT ILLEGAL - YET! THINK: IT'S NOT ILLEGAL - YET! THINK: IT'S NOT ILLEGAL - YET! THINK: IT'S NOT ILLEGAL - YET! THINK: IT'S NOT ILLEGAL - YET!"
