It's been a year filled with problems
But now you're here, almost as if to solve them
And I can't live in a world without you, now

All my life I've been searching for you
How did I survive in this world before you?
Cause I don't want to live another day without you, now

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me

All I want to have is all that you can give me
And I'll give right back everything I've kept in me
Cause nothing ever felt as right as this does right now

I'll go back to before we met
Try and erase the past, try harder to forget
Cause nothing will ever be as good as here and now

Cause when I looked into your eyes and you dared to stare right back
You should have said, "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half"

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

I always knew
I'd find someone
I never dreamed
It'd be like this
Cause you've surpassed all that I'd hoped for and ever wished
And I'm trying so hard, with all my heart and mind
To make your life as good as you've made mine

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree, the best thing is that it's happening to you and me

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
