In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Can you tell me what stopped the rain? Where is salvation?
Science, saviors, tragedy?
May I lead the way into temptation?
Sirens screaming just for me and the void remains.
Would you save my life if you knew why this is the last time?
I'm leaving without you.
Could you save my life had the boy that you knew not died?
This is the last time.
I'm leaving with out you in silence.
Can you tell me what stops the pain?
Self medication? Science, saviors, tragedy?
How deep must we cut to reach sensation?
Find it. Bring it back to me where the void remains.
Walk with me my one and only...
find with me the end.
Walk with me my one and only silence.
If you knew would you save me?
Can you tell me what stopped the rain?
Can you tell me what stopped it?
If you knew
would you save me?
Science, saviors, tragedy?
May I lead the way into temptation?
Sirens screaming just for me and the void remains.
Would you save my life if you knew why this is the last time?
I'm leaving without you.
Could you save my life had the boy that you knew not died?
This is the last time.
I'm leaving with out you in silence.
Can you tell me what stops the pain?
Self medication? Science, saviors, tragedy?
How deep must we cut to reach sensation?
Find it. Bring it back to me where the void remains.
Walk with me my one and only...
find with me the end.
Walk with me my one and only silence.
If you knew would you save me?
Can you tell me what stopped the rain?
Can you tell me what stopped it?
If you knew
would you save me?

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing song. Of course, the lyrics are great. What else do you expect from Davey? And Jade's part of this, amazing, as always. Both have insane talent, and they defiantly let that known in this song. Honestly can't wait for the cd to be released.
