Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Is losing something that you love
a blessing in disguise
who comes and goes into our life
not for us to decide
You can bury them deep inside
but you can never hide
You waited for them long enough
It's time to say goodbye
O my lordy O my god
I finally see what's going on
I count the fingers that you made me
Am I squandering the life you gave me
I never seem to find the words
the devil ties my tongue
Then I find the perfect words
the moment you have gone
Are we still lovers we'll never be friends
Is this all there is? Is this where it ends?
Was it fate? Was it games of chance?
Are we victims of the circumstances
O my lordy.......
Bend your words into a prayer
send them on a trip some where
Let them ring and resonate
Kiss your lips and seal my fate
maybe losing something
that you love is a blessing in disguise
you've been their slave for far too long
It's time to say goodbye
a blessing in disguise
who comes and goes into our life
not for us to decide
You can bury them deep inside
but you can never hide
You waited for them long enough
It's time to say goodbye
O my lordy O my god
I finally see what's going on
I count the fingers that you made me
Am I squandering the life you gave me
I never seem to find the words
the devil ties my tongue
Then I find the perfect words
the moment you have gone
Are we still lovers we'll never be friends
Is this all there is? Is this where it ends?
Was it fate? Was it games of chance?
Are we victims of the circumstances
O my lordy.......
Bend your words into a prayer
send them on a trip some where
Let them ring and resonate
Kiss your lips and seal my fate
maybe losing something
that you love is a blessing in disguise
you've been their slave for far too long
It's time to say goodbye

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.

Mountain Song

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."
Starlight definately hits the nail on the head regarding the bright side of life despite "losing something that you love". This seems to be a reconciliation of all the lost/mixed emotions of the last two albums, a personal therapy for nick urata perhaps, and a finding of god.
