Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
She starts talking to me
I hear her voice its like a whisper in my ear
But she ain't saying nothing to me
That makes me want more, makes me want more
And it's all that I can do to stay
When she's leaving the floor, leaving the floor
And it's all because of me
I'll set you free
I know how your face looks when you're down
And you won't have me with you so just rage
Put your faith in this life, set you free
I just want you to live
You can't see the end in the beginning
And I don't know how to explain
That we've been here before, been here before
And I've begun to think of you this way
That's why I'm needing it more, needing it more
And it's all because of me
I know how your face looks when you're down
And you won't have me with you so just rage
Put your faith in this life, set you free
I want you to believe in me
So that I can believe in you
That's all we need to do to get us through this
She stops talking to me
With spiraling eyes that keep on twirling
And that ring does it shine for me
Like you said when I was shaking my rusty tambourine around your head
And I'm still needing it more, needing it more and it's all because of me I'll set you free..
I hear her voice its like a whisper in my ear
But she ain't saying nothing to me
That makes me want more, makes me want more
And it's all that I can do to stay
When she's leaving the floor, leaving the floor
And it's all because of me
I'll set you free
I know how your face looks when you're down
And you won't have me with you so just rage
Put your faith in this life, set you free
I just want you to live
You can't see the end in the beginning
And I don't know how to explain
That we've been here before, been here before
And I've begun to think of you this way
That's why I'm needing it more, needing it more
And it's all because of me
I know how your face looks when you're down
And you won't have me with you so just rage
Put your faith in this life, set you free
I want you to believe in me
So that I can believe in you
That's all we need to do to get us through this
She stops talking to me
With spiraling eyes that keep on twirling
And that ring does it shine for me
Like you said when I was shaking my rusty tambourine around your head
And I'm still needing it more, needing it more and it's all because of me I'll set you free..

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.
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."
it's about wanting someone to trust you
