Since You Went Away

Dear Nora

You know it's never easy to even try to please me. sometimes I'm such a tease &somethimes I'm a liar. I've seen you get frustrated, I've seen you aggrivated, I've seen you aggitated too.

it's so easy to take the blame when everything I do comes back again. &i haven't felt the same, my friend, since you went away. all those times I made you cry &i didn't have an alibi. there are things I can't deny since you went away.

I think I've learned a lesson, I live inside a mess and it's never going to clean itself up anyway. so I'll just take it easy since nothing's going to please me &i will alway be a tease.

it's so easy to take the blame when everything I do comes back again. &i haven't felt the same, my friend, since you went away. all those times I made you cry &i didn't have an alibi. there are things I can't deny since you went away. away.

    This song is so fun! I love the whole jangly guitar thing they have going on. This was actually the first song I heard by Dear Nora. I couldn't stop listegning to it, it's so great.

Mountain Song
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."
