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.
One set of footprints inna di sand and yuh a grumble and
A screw a seh it shoulda be two remember one thing mi youth a Father God have the plan so when
You see one set of footprints a God carry you
Hurry up and come back was the last thing she said to her son
The day his life was taken she did not know he wouldn't come back he died from the bullet
Of a gun and now her little boy is gone
She said help me, Lord help me and she looked up to the sky and she heard a voice reply
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
Another baby left homeless
Abandoned when he was two so the street side kids
At the shopping mall was the family he knew it's not easy being homeless sometimes you have to do
What you have to do and he didn't have a mom or dad to help him get through
He said help me, Father help me
And then he looked up to the sky and he heard a voice reply
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
It was early Sunday morning mi get up a watch the news
Then mi hear seh last night a seaview dem kill a youth den mamma tell mi seh her church sister
Jacqueline just lose her brother over seaview gardens
When she tell mi jah jah know ti mash mi up naah tell nuh lie but yuh know seh man a thuggist so yuh
Naah go see me cry everyday and every night she still a ask the father
Why her brother had to die she heard a voice reply
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
A screw a seh it shoulda be two remember one thing mi youth a Father God have the plan so when
You see one set of footprints a God carry you
Hurry up and come back was the last thing she said to her son
The day his life was taken she did not know he wouldn't come back he died from the bullet
Of a gun and now her little boy is gone
She said help me, Lord help me and she looked up to the sky and she heard a voice reply
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
Another baby left homeless
Abandoned when he was two so the street side kids
At the shopping mall was the family he knew it's not easy being homeless sometimes you have to do
What you have to do and he didn't have a mom or dad to help him get through

And then he looked up to the sky and he heard a voice reply
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I like the intro...
