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.
Rain on my skin
I feel a gentle summer wind
In your eyes
I can see the deep blue sky
Let it rain
Let it color all my skin
Let it rain
Wash away my doubts and pain
I wanna discover
I don't wanna make believe
Let it rain down on me
Let it rain down
Feels so divine
Only one thing on my mind
I'm alive
Let the island spirit shine
(Let it rain)
Let it rain
Let it color all my skin
Let it rain
Wash away my doubts and pain
I wanna discover
I don't wanna make believe
Let it rain down on me
Let it rain down
Let it color all my skin
Let it rain
I feel a gentle summer wind
In your eyes
I can see the deep blue sky
Let it rain
Let it color all my skin
Let it rain
Wash away my doubts and pain
I wanna discover
I don't wanna make believe
Let it rain down on me
Let it rain down
Feels so divine
Only one thing on my mind
I'm alive
Let the island spirit shine
(Let it rain)
Let it rain
Let it color all my skin
Let it rain
Wash away my doubts and pain
I wanna discover
I don't wanna make believe
Let it rain down on me
Let it rain down
Let it color all my skin
Let it rain

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

“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.
Forgiveness above all after all the hurt and anger that has held me back. I am free and I am one and I am not alone, no one can put me down and i am alive.
I love this song, it's great, quickly became one of my favorites. The lines "Let it rain, Let it color all my skin." for some reason makes me think about tears coming down someone's face. "I don't wanna make believe" as in you should stop lying to yourself and face the real situation that are before you, and when you finally cry, it does "Wash away my doubts and pain" and it does "Feels so divine" when you finally give in and let it all out and cry, almost like a fresh start or a new beginning. Not trying to imply that this is by any means the meaning to this song, but that sure is the way i feel when i hear it.
