Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
was I too loud to hear you screaming
was I a fool to dream it once again
was I to calm to feel
to steal
some ordinary whispers
calling out your name
did I foresee the lies I´ve forgotten
did I expect scars upon your face
I couldn´t tame my mind
and blame
the rhymes that fell to pieces
broken on your trace
but maybe I was ment to hear your promise
and get through it all again
and all the lines will mend
and lead the hopeless
if the gods may know your name
can´t you believe in the voice I followed
can´t you forgive the choices I have made
and if I need you now
somehow
it´s funny I´m still fighting
though it´s far too late
but maybe I was ment to hear your promise
and get through it all again
and all the lines will mend
and lead the hopeless
if the gods may know your name
if the gods may know your name
and I tear everything apart
but there´s nothing to expect
from a bleeding heart
from a bleeding heart
but maybe I was ment to hear your promise
and get through it all again
and all the lines will mend
and lead the hopeless
if the gods may know your name
and maybe I was ment to hear your promise
and get through it all again
and all the lines will mend
and lead the hopeless
if the gods may know your name
if the gods may know your name
if the gods may know your name
if the gods may know your name
if the gods may know your name
if the gods may know your name
if the gods may know your name
if the gods may know your name
if the gods may know your name
was I a fool to dream it once again
was I to calm to feel
to steal
some ordinary whispers
calling out your name
did I foresee the lies I´ve forgotten

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 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."
Well, because I'm the one to put this band and sing and lyrics for the song up on this web, I guess I would the first to comment, maybe only, who know?
first thing, I have no idea that can be their original intents with the song meaning because for me it always been more like a story telling - the pretty Goth boy sings and I see pictures inside my head of fallen goddess, thieves, temples and the dark forces consuming it all...
Active imagination supposedly.
But actually I think it's talking about guilt, about thing you could've done, about thing you missed, about the uselessness to fix it while thinking over and over again ‘if you done that – if you been there” and about the goddess fallen from grace? It’s can interpret in more when one ways on the personal field.
