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.
Yesterday was pouring
For straight two months now
How did we do it I just don't know how
Life's a real big pain
Without you
You left you did the same
Cause my love was so true
Your friends told me that
You kept up with me I don't understand
Why we both can't see
Why is it this way
When we knew it could be
Could we both just stop
And listen to me
All alone I sit at home baby
Waiting for the phone to ring
All I know is that I miss you baby
This loneliness is driving me crazy
My phone doesn't ring anymore
No face, knocking at my door
Lonely days are here again
I know you feel the same girlfriend
Who was that guy I caught you walking with
In your smile I knew you wasn't with it
Let's stop awhile
And start our love again
It won't take no time
For our hearts to mend
All alone I sit at home baby
Waiting for the phone to ring
All I know is that I miss you baby
This loneliness is driving me crazy
My phone doesn't ring anymore
No face, knocking at my door
Lonely days are here again
I know you feel the same girlfriend
My phone doesn't ring anymore
No face, knocking at my door
Lonely days are here again
I know you feel the same girlfriend
I want to tell you why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely without you
Don't know what
I'm about do, oh girl I guess I've got to
Take you, back now
Driving me crazy, baby
Crazy, loneliness is driving me crazy
Loneliness is driving me crazy
I don't know what to tell you
My phone doesn't ring anymore
No face, knocking at my door
Lonely days are here again
I know you feel the same girlfriend
You don't come around
You don't call me no more, baby
This loneliness is driving me crazy
My phone doesn't ring anymore
No face, knocking at my door
Lonely days are here again
I know you feel the same girlfriend
My phone doesn't ring anymore
Ring anymore, baby
For straight two months now
How did we do it I just don't know how
Life's a real big pain
Without you
You left you did the same
Cause my love was so true
Your friends told me that
You kept up with me I don't understand
Why we both can't see
Why is it this way
When we knew it could be
Could we both just stop
And listen to me
All alone I sit at home baby
Waiting for the phone to ring
All I know is that I miss you baby
This loneliness is driving me crazy
My phone doesn't ring anymore
No face, knocking at my door
Lonely days are here again
I know you feel the same girlfriend
Who was that guy I caught you walking with
In your smile I knew you wasn't with it
Let's stop awhile
And start our love again
It won't take no time
For our hearts to mend
All alone I sit at home baby
Waiting for the phone to ring
All I know is that I miss you baby
This loneliness is driving me crazy
My phone doesn't ring anymore
No face, knocking at my door
Lonely days are here again
I know you feel the same girlfriend
My phone doesn't ring anymore
No face, knocking at my door
Lonely days are here again
I know you feel the same girlfriend
I want to tell you why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely without you
Don't know what
I'm about do, oh girl I guess I've got to
Take you, back now
Driving me crazy, baby
Crazy, loneliness is driving me crazy
Loneliness is driving me crazy
I don't know what to tell you
My phone doesn't ring anymore
No face, knocking at my door
Lonely days are here again
I know you feel the same girlfriend
You don't come around
You don't call me no more, baby
This loneliness is driving me crazy
My phone doesn't ring anymore
No face, knocking at my door
Lonely days are here again
I know you feel the same girlfriend
My phone doesn't ring anymore
Ring anymore, baby

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."
