    I know it has no words but the music is so beautiful. Usually I don't like music without words but this one still moves me every time. Especially since it was in the OC with Kirsten saying goodbye to Sandy in rehab. It was so moving, due to this song.

    It's posted because instrumentals are allowed, and for comments such as the one just above yours!

    I've got to agree with Free_brownies. I realise that instrumentals are allowed but it seems a little pointless to me. We seem to have no valuable comments on this page about the meaning of the song. That's not a reflection on anyone's intelligence - it's just because it's very hard to comment on the meaning of a song without lyrics (and sheet music for that matter).

    After all, let's not forget this place is to talk about the MEANING of songs and I for one am not interested in hundreds of comments simply saying "OMG!!! I love this song!".

    My Interpretation

    I think that this song, as aposed to other song where the words tell you what your meant to feel about the song this one gives you room to interpret all on your own. I think that even though it's an instrumental and it's harder to understand what the meaning is.. i think that the point of that it to give you room to make your own meaning.

    It is, to me, about anything you want it to be it could be about a loss or about the calm before the storm or it could be reflection on positive or negative things. After all the song makes you feel a different way depending on your situation and i think that the meaning and purpose of the song is to move you no matter who you are..

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.
