If I had known your heart was down
That lonely day in Greenville town
Then I would have been more concerned
But later on I truly learned
How it can feel in every bone
To really see that you're all alone
But I'll kiss your head
When death finds your bed
And you are gone
And if I had seen the way it would be
I'd hushed your cries, when you came to me
If I could do what I did to you
The same to me
And I would love for you to see
That I sleep with remorse
And regret hangs round my door forever more.
If I had known the lowering tide
Was lowering with the way you felt inside
If I had known all hope was gone
A broken heart and a broken home
That pierced a lover's past
And carved the lonely path
For her to walk
So if ever someone says to you,
"Life isn't fair, get used to it"
Then you should say
"Well it might be, if folks like you would let it be"
But I’ll kiss your head
When death becomes my bed
And I am gone
That lonely day in Greenville town
Then I would have been more concerned
But later on I truly learned
How it can feel in every bone
To really see that you're all alone
But I'll kiss your head
When death finds your bed
And you are gone
And if I had seen the way it would be
I'd hushed your cries, when you came to me
If I could do what I did to you
The same to me
And I would love for you to see
That I sleep with remorse
And regret hangs round my door forever more.
If I had known the lowering tide
Was lowering with the way you felt inside
If I had known all hope was gone
A broken heart and a broken home
That pierced a lover's past
And carved the lonely path
For her to walk
So if ever someone says to you,
"Life isn't fair, get used to it"
Then you should say
"Well it might be, if folks like you would let it be"
But I’ll kiss your head
When death becomes my bed
And I am gone

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I don't think this song is about a break up, it seems to be about a friend committing suicide. The narrator is recalling how he failed to see the signs and feels it is his fault.
i definitely agree with you mattv824.
this song means the world to me. my sister committed suicide out of no where and i had seen her the day before but i failed to realize what was going on inside of her and now i beat myself up about it.
the avett brothers mean so much to me.
Sorry for your loss. We all wear so many masks that even when we want to share it often just doesn't work. No one can know the interior life of another, even those close to us.
This song is beautiful and haunting. Something about the melody just hits me... I agree that this sounds like a song about suicide. I wonder what the story is behind it.
I'm living this beautiful song right now. Fiance left me & sleeping each night with the regret & remorse for what I did. I love the low string sounds from the bass. I'm getting used to it.
This song has helped me get through the roughest and most painful breakup I've ever gone through. I only wish my ex felt the way the Avett Brothers feel in this song.
"If I could do what I did to you The same to me that I would love for you to see That I sleep with remorse"
