This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Crowning of a heart, textures and shades
A bitter London night on the motorway
You looked so divine, back in the seat
Wicked desires ablaze in me
Back inside the house, into the room
Watching as the lights slowly fade from view
Couldn't even talk, what could you say?
Every thought just racing away.
Crowning of a heart, textures and shades
Crescents in her eyes as we gaze away.
A bitter London night on the motorway
You looked so divine, back in the seat
Wicked desires ablaze in me
Back inside the house, into the room
Watching as the lights slowly fade from view
Couldn't even talk, what could you say?
Every thought just racing away.
Crowning of a heart, textures and shades
Crescents in her eyes as we gaze away.

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/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song will forever remind me of Juliet...great song
BEAUTIFUL. idk what its about. maybe about two lovers whose relationship just bloomed, and the great feeling you get when youre with that person and see that person. theres so many things theyre thinking and want to say but just cant get it out. i love TOD.
its about taking a girl out for the night then he takes her back to his room and hes speechless and its obvious theyre describing love and i guess they look at the moon cuz "crescents in her eyes as we gaze away" or maybe that has a sexual meaning? good song long LONG LIVE TRAIL OF DEAD AND THE INDIE SCENE
Two Lovers...
this song is really soothing, and beautiful.
this song reprises the main recurring melody from source tags and codes.. it really brings the album full circle
Quote from Daytrotter about this song: "I always thought this song spoke for itself. It’s about a romantic cab ride with someone, in London, ending up at her place.
my god, this is beautiful
This song is actually based around Elena Milagro de Hoyos, who's dead corpse was stolen and kept by German radiologist Carl Tanzler in the 1930s. That's why this EP is called "The Secret of Elena's Tomb" and the artwork depicts Elena and Tanzler (on the back). In that case, this song might be about Carl driving the dead, catatonic body around (which he had stuffed full of preservatives, wax and plaster). But since the song mentions London, maybe Conrad is using this scenario as a metaphor for a night out he had.
Still...one of my favorite Trail of Dead songs!
