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.
The night was born the moon turned fire red.
Said the night I was born the moon turned a fire red.
My poor mother cried, the gypsy was right and she fell down, right down dead
I float in liquid garden down in arizona red sand
I float in liquid gardens down in arizona red sand
I taste the honey from a flower named blue
and New York drowns while we held hands
My arrows are made of desire as far away as jupitur sulfer minds
My arrows are made of dessires far away as jupitur sulfer minds, down by the methane sea
My room is made of mirrors, I see you but
lord knows I cant see me
I make love to you little girl in your sleep
and ya felt no pain
I remember walkin in your dreams late at night
and Ive seen your smile tear stain.
And Im a million miles dimensions away from you
and Im in your picture frame, picture frame
In your picture frame.
Said the night I was born the moon turned a fire red.
My poor mother cried, the gypsy was right and she fell down, right down dead
I float in liquid garden down in arizona red sand
I float in liquid gardens down in arizona red sand
I taste the honey from a flower named blue
and New York drowns while we held hands
My arrows are made of desire as far away as jupitur sulfer minds
My arrows are made of dessires far away as jupitur sulfer minds, down by the methane sea
My room is made of mirrors, I see you but
lord knows I cant see me
I make love to you little girl in your sleep
and ya felt no pain
I remember walkin in your dreams late at night
and Ive seen your smile tear stain.
And Im a million miles dimensions away from you
and Im in your picture frame, picture frame
In your picture frame.

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."

these words are amazing

now its voodoo chile blues, hendrix recorded this by himslef in his NY apartment
Yeah this is voodoo chile blues. Voodoo chile is a totaly different song.
I'm pretty sure 'Voodoo Chile' is the 15 minute blues jam you're talking about. It's simply called 'Voodoo Chile'. Mitch Mitchell has two amazing drum solos, Jimi's playing is 'really outta sight', and the crowd is diggin' it... minus the loud feedback.
