This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
i asked her if she went off to work in a thirties ball gown
why i should sit here and write lyrics around
and she said, smiling, what to write was easy
write a song about mud, music and me
well ocusdubruki were rockin it late last night
flamenco, hip hop rhythm making us all feel right
the sun beating down on the back of my neck
but today its just been pouring wet
but people here have lost the city from them now
walkin past eachother in the rain, smiling, i think wow
is it one night in this field and we're washed from all the rushing
we're all country folk now
laughing and singing and hugging
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
then i got to wonder whether
lye by a pond singing kiss her
life brings many blessings when you least expect it
it cuts your strings and you're free for that time to be
kiss her and let her kiss me
goin back to her van and i wanna do rudeys
but shes a lady so i just kiss on her boobies
love, i've seen nudeys, kay, you just sued me
score this own goal in me like wayne rooney
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
everyone is there to remind you
you are on this earth to find love
and we are all standin beside ya
you are on this earth to find love
all the time i search for ya
all the time just lookin for ya
lets take this chance to remember
you are on this earth to find love
you are on this earth to find love
and round the staff campfire, julia said;
we love festival community cause our own communities are dead
that's why every year more people wanna come
community sprits what we mean when we say i wanna have fun
so what does glastonbury teach me?
that human-beings are starving for sprit and community
we need to start now, to show ourselves how
we can feel this change and let real freedom rain
from the dislocated, violated powders in our pain
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
write me a song about mud, music and me
write me a song about this glastonbury
cause everyone is there to remind ya
you are on this earth to find love
and we are all standin beside ya
you are on this earth to find love
all this time I look for it in ya
all the time just searchin for ya
lets take this chance to remember
you are on this earth to find love
you are on this earth to find love
everyone is, everyone is, everyone is
this Glastonbury.

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
