I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
A year ago today we stood
Above this same awakening world
I held you
You never wanted me to know
Another year ago today
Before this same awakening world
I held you
I never meant to let you go
There was a moment
There always is
When time stood still
And always was this
One endless moment
You turn in pain
And I always let you go
Over and over again
A year ago tonight we lay
Below this same remembering sky
I kissed you
You never wanted me to know
Another year ago tonight
Behind this same remembering sky
I kissed you
I never meant to let you go
Another moment
There always is
As time stands still
And always is this
One endless moment
You tell me all
And I hold you and I kiss you
And I never let you go
I never let you go
Above this same awakening world
I held you
You never wanted me to know
Another year ago today
Before this same awakening world
I held you
I never meant to let you go
There was a moment
There always is
When time stood still
And always was this
One endless moment
You turn in pain
And I always let you go
Over and over again
A year ago tonight we lay
Below this same remembering sky
I kissed you
You never wanted me to know
Another year ago tonight
Behind this same remembering sky
I kissed you
I never meant to let you go
Another moment
There always is
As time stands still
And always is this
One endless moment
You tell me all
And I hold you and I kiss you
And I never let you go
I never let you go

Mountain Song

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

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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Great song. Possibly the best on the new album. Suprised no posts though. The song is what it says.
I agree, this is probably the best song on the album. My favorite part is when the music gets really quiet and the chorus starts.
"there was a moment.." agreed, awesome
This song, the music, it sounds so sad.. great song! I didn't like The Cure but I will have to give them a second chance after that :P
It's also my fave on the current album, I like the sad mood
It's also my fave on the current album, I like the sad mood
It's also my fave on the current album, I like the sad mood
This song makes me want to have sex. It is beautiful.
Love this song. Just everything about it is great. I agree with placebist. The sad mood is awesome.
The song should be pretty self-explanatory. =/.
One of the most beautiful songs on the album. If I listen to a song enough I start to imagine a story, so this is my interpretation of it.
I think this song is about a boy and a girl who loved each other, but the girl had some emotional problems that she didn't want him to know about, preventing her from getting too close to him. As a result, the boy is confused and breaks up with her. On this day it would have been their one year anniversary and he realizes he never meant to let her go. If both of them had a chance to go back to that one moment where they were both in love, she would have told him everything, and he would have never let her go. Sorry if I messed up the whole self explanatory part. :-)
