Oh but the longing is terrible,
A wonton heart under attack.
I wanna love you,
All the way off,

I wanna break your back.
Colour of all that's hysterical,
Travels along your bones.
Just to be near you sucking your skin,

Not gonna leave you alone.
Yes here of course there are miracles,
A lover that loves that's one.
Groomed with the laughter,

Ecstatic disaster,
Come let's arouse the fun!
We could build and engine,
Out of all your rising stars.

Tear apart the apart,
We seem to think we are.
Call of work let's lay!
Call it lovers Day!
Call it lovers Day!

Give me the keys to your hiding place,
I'm not gonna tear it apart.
I'm gonna keep you week in the knees,
Try to unlock your heart.

You're gonna turn me animal,
You?re gonna turn me dumb.
Your kiss in the night,
Bringing the light,

You?re like the rising sun.
I hunger for you like a cannibal,
Not gonna let you run.

I'm gonna take you,
I'm gonna shake you,
I'm gonna make you cum.
Swear to god it will get so hot,

It?ll melt our faces off.
Then we can see,
The you the me,
Beyond mirrors outside clock.

Held naked in the light,
Held gently,
Held tight,
So soft!

Get off!
Get off!
Ball so hard,
We?ll smash the walls,

Break the bed,
And crash the floors, don?t!
Stop! Laugh and scream!
And have the neighbors call the cops!

'till all the eyes that they've seen our fire play!!
Can't forget,
Mark it down,
Call it lovers Day!!

Yes here of course there are miracles.
Under your sighs and moans.
I'm gonna take you,
I'm gonna take you home.

    From an interview with Rolling Stone.

    Kyp Malone: I wrote it specifically to be a gender-neutral, sex-positive love song so anyone can apply it any aspect of life. But any time my daughter hears it, she says, “That’s for Jessie.” She’s my girlfriend. Sex is the spice of life, you know. It’s how we all got here. A lot of songs that are sex positive are very predatory — it’s within the binary of gender politics. That’s boring to me. It’s not reflective of the world we live in.

    They really do write some hot songs. They can pull off this stuff too, if a lot of bands sang about stuff this graphic they'd look silly.

    Kyp's got the correct philosophy about everything. If we all just decided to ball one another's brains out, the world would be peaceful, calm, and filled with a hell of a lot more endorphins. Sounds dreamy.

    The song makes me want to fuck everyone.

    I really don't like this song. It reminds me of a really cheesy Neil Diamond song. I miss Return to Cookie Mountain

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

Magical

Blue
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.
