its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I don't wanna hear about it anymore.
It's a shame I've got to live without you anymore.
There's a fire in my heart,
A pounding in my brain,
It's driving me crazy.
We don't need to talk about it anymore.
Yesterday's just a memory, can we close the door?
I just made one mistake,
I didn't know what to say when you called me baby.
Don't say goodnight.
Say you're gonna stay forever.
Ohhhhhh, all the way.
Can you take me high enough
To fly me over (fly me over) yesterday?
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Yesterday's just a memory (yesterday's just a memory).
And I don't want to live without you anymore.
Can't you see I'm in misery?
And you know for sure
I would live and die for you,
And I'd know just what to do when you called me baby.
Don't say goodbye.
Say you're gonna stay forever.
Ohhhhhh, all the way.
Can you take me high enough?
Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday?
Can you take me high enough?
It's never over
Yesterday's just a memory.
I'm running...I was running for the door.
The next thing i remember,
I was running back for more...
Don't say goodbye.
Say you're gonna stay forever.
Ohhhhhh, all the way (all the way, all the way, yeah).
Can you take me high enough?
Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday?
Can you take me high enough?
It's never over.
Can you take me high enough?
Can you fly me over (won't you fly me over) yesterday?
Can you take me high enough?
It's never over.
It's a shame I've got to live without you anymore.
There's a fire in my heart,
A pounding in my brain,
It's driving me crazy.
We don't need to talk about it anymore.
Yesterday's just a memory, can we close the door?
I just made one mistake,
I didn't know what to say when you called me baby.
Don't say goodnight.
Say you're gonna stay forever.
Ohhhhhh, all the way.
Can you take me high enough
To fly me over (fly me over) yesterday?
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Yesterday's just a memory (yesterday's just a memory).
And I don't want to live without you anymore.
Can't you see I'm in misery?
And you know for sure

Say you're gonna stay forever.
Ohhhhhh, all the way.
Can you take me high enough?
Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday?
Can you take me high enough?
It's never over

Can you take me high enough?
Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday?
Can you take me high enough?
It's never over.
Can you take me high enough?
Can you fly me over (won't you fly me over) yesterday?
Can you take me high enough?
It's never over.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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."
Guys, i really need to say I´m sorry. I ´ve submitted this lyric with the name Take Me Higher, from Firehouse. One day later, I´ve discovered this song is called High Enough, and it´s from Damn Yankees. Not from Firehouse... but if you tipe Firehouse on some programs like Emule, Limewire (that´s the program I´ve used), will appear this song with the wrong name I´ve written above. I´m really sorry, but I still love this song, and I hope that everyone who passed through a similar history love it too.
