Oww get your groove on
New shiny shoes on

I'm a comin' in on lust and resurgence
With all my love I overflow the river Nile
Rolling on for thousands of miles
We can celebrate your inner horizon
Ooh, we can activate our Christ teach, too
Oh we'll have our fun

I am heaven in the spirit of the sun
I'll meet you when the day breaks through
It's time to shine and make
All your dreams come true
You wish upon a dog star
You wish upon a dog star

I've been worshiped by the buried ancients
Who asked for love
I gave them love radiations
And even hiding the sensations

Yeah we can celebrate our inner horizon
We can activate our Christ teach, too
Oh it'll be fun!

I am heaven in the spirit of the sun (Get your groove on, new shiny shoes on)
I'll meet you when the day breaks through (Rocking me nightly, shining so brightly)
It's time to shine and make
All your dreams come true
You wish upon a dog star
You wish upon a dog star

We blink so brightly, light up the dark all night
Oh hear me out
I'm right up there with the brightest, I'm like a giant
Yeah

I am heaven in the spirit of the sun (Get your groove on, new shiny shoes on)
I'll meet you when the day breaks through (Rocking me nightly, shining so brightly)
It's time to shine and make
All your dreams come true
You wish upon a dog star
You wish upon a dog star
You wish upon a dog star

    This song is awesome. Thanks for the Sirius info vikesfan. Do you think Farrell maybe joined the "Ancient Seers"? Maybe... Has anyone read the Illuminatus! Trilogy? All of this is awesomeness...

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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,

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.
