a pleasant insecurity
takes me when i spell out your name
and forms the words of all the cheap love songs
that seem to take my by the hand
the night is sprinkled with a million stars
a blanked for our dearest dreams
that tickles your nose when it's dark
and tells you to make my phone ring
tonight i would give this song away to hear your voice
and trade in all my memories for the chance to be your boy
so why don't you call me just to say
that you thought about me today
and that you are feeling as insecure as i am now?

what if you call me and i'm not home?
will you wonder if i went away?
i'll spend a lifetime by the phone...
why won't you call me anyway?
i'm falling in love, or in other words going insane
why can't i stop dancing to the same song over again?

i lip-synch to be the conversations
we've only had inside my head
and dress up for the possibility
i might bump into you somewhere
like lovers do in silent movies...
the odds are torn down by romance!
and if all dreams are born to crumble
we resist the urge of making sense
'cause it took me so long to learn what love is about
and although now i have to face these new-felt childish doubts
i wish life would take us by the hand
and make both of us understand
that now, for the first time
there is no reason to be scared

will you become a part of my life
or just go away when you please?
are you here just to break my heart
or spare me off my misery?
i shake hands with my loneliness
goodbye old friend you won't be missed
i'm sure that this time you
won't have a reason to come back

what if you call me and i'm not home?
will you wonder if i went away?
i'll spend the whole day by the phone...
why don't you make it ring today?
'cause i've waited my whole life
for a girl like you to come my way
to make me stop dancing to the same song over again

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
