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.
These eyes,
They're strongly covered in disguise
They're waitin' on the real time again
You'll see that no one knows for sure
For all of this
I'm better off without you
Do you regret so
Your loneliness
This ride is drifting slowly to the side
We're swervin' off the road
Goin' past the cones
That warned us from the start
For all of this
I'm better off without you
Do you regret so
Your loneliness
(2x)
(Every day goes, every night goes)
On and on we sing this song (every day goes, every night goes)
The entire day that's oh so long (every day goes)
Every night we sing this song for you (every night)
For all of this
I'm better off without you
Do you regret so
Your loneliness
(2x)
They're strongly covered in disguise
They're waitin' on the real time again
You'll see that no one knows for sure
For all of this
I'm better off without you
Do you regret so
Your loneliness
This ride is drifting slowly to the side
We're swervin' off the road
Goin' past the cones
That warned us from the start
For all of this
I'm better off without you
Do you regret so
Your loneliness
(2x)
(Every day goes, every night goes)
On and on we sing this song (every day goes, every night goes)
The entire day that's oh so long (every day goes)
Every night we sing this song for you (every night)
For all of this
I'm better off without you
Do you regret so
Your loneliness
(2x)

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
These guys are so awesome. I can't wait to get their new ep. This song is about a failed relationship.

this song rocks. i dedicate this song to my friend who now treats me like shit.
"for all of this, I'm better off without you..." Yeah, I'm repeating this line over and over in my head whenver I walk by that one guy i'm crazy for. thats just what makes me love TEN's music... you can just relate to anything they say. wow.. thats all im gonna say.
this is my favorite TEN song...the acoustic ver. is awesome too...but, yeah...
they were selling their merch at a show, they're really down to earth and cool.
this is by far, my favorite song by them. i absolutely love it.
they ARE really great guys... rofl. a little of kilter, but that's alright. it's more fun and interesting that way, right? hahaha
this song is probably the best off their ep other than everynight's another story. these guys are hilarious if any of you have seen the footage of them on the drive thru dvd
