This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Brand New Jones
Some like to keep heat on
Some never hot enough
See I sleep with nothing on
'cause I'm always burnin' up
But we all want to try
To see each other's side
And I'll try
Til she takes my pillow
Mm
She'll say I'm lucky
She'll say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without her
See see
But everyday
Ain't the same
Ain't the same
Ain't the same
I feel like a puppy
When I get time to play
I've got a brand new Jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang alone
Some like a sweet romance
And some want to travel far
But I like a three point stance
And I hate to drive my car
But I'd go round the world
Just to please my girl
And I'll fly
If she takes my pillow
Oh
She'll say I'm lucky
Then say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without her
But everyday
I feel like a puppy
When I get time to play
I've got a brand new Jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, yeah, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang my thang alone
So why don't I just
Save time and reveal now
'cause sooner or later she'll
Know the deal
She'll wonder why
The bed jumps so high
When she sleeps at night
Oh yeah yeah
Oh
Tells me I'm lucky
Then say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without it
See see
But everyday
I.. no...
Ain't the same
Ain't the same
I feel like a puppy
When I get time to play
I've got a brand new Jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang my thang alone
I've got this brand new Jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
You know it
I've got this brand new Jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
You know it
I've got this brand new Jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
You know it
Some like to keep heat on

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
