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”
Questa storia, ha un'unica morale
Vse v raspizdu-to maniacale, i paranormale
O solnce Santa Marinelli, izlizannoi toboyu
Ya poluchal ne raz, tai-da-rarara
V posolstvah S-SH-A otkaz
Tam nedaleko ot Rima
Est gorod Palestrina
Zvezda pereferii, vsa v maslinah, stala nasha malina
O mama Palestrina, vstrechayte pyanih pilligrimov
Bez prava na viyezd, bez vizi na vdoh, bez vizi na vidoh
Ya vzmolilsa "che cazzo! Io porca Madonna!"
Gde tletvorniy podyezd, ili etot otyezd delo musora provod
Solo perché ti amo, mia madre, ah! Crescendo paranoia
Solo perché ti amo, mia madre, ah! Porca Madonna
Mi oblika Russo amorale
Vseh v raspizdu-to mi ne zamarali
Da uno da due
Da uno da stronzo puttana
Na Americana (bazar takoi v Rime) vse.otstoyali (uno Mille Lire)
Poeti, yuristi, mediki - vse farzoi stali
Hohlomu-samovari (redkost-tovari) vse fuflo tolkali (krutiye navari)
No drug pered drugom vsezh svoi otiezd opravdali:
Ya na Piazza Navona
Sidel, rastagival shkavarku
Nu, konechno, flirtoval
No i semye pomogal
A ya na rimskoi mostovoi ya lezhal, zdal, bivoi?, oi-oi-oi
Ya tak prosil pit, a tut eshe etot Papa (rimskiy)
Ya s detstva ego hotel zamochit
O kanoneri, ya vam dokazival ne raz
Chto muzikantu vo vrema keifa
Smotret nuzhno pramo v glaz
Solo perché, ti amo mia madre, ah! Porca Madonna
Solo perché, ti amo mia madre, ah! Crescendo paranoia
Mi oblika russo amorale
Vseh v raspizdu-to mi ne zamarali
Da uno, da due
Da uno, paranormale
(Sono emigranto)
Da uno, da due
Da uno, stronzo merdoso
Da uno, da due
Da uno, porca puttana
Prekranaya nas
I ih-to mudohat, Zamudohal-mudohal la-la-la
A solnce Santa Marinelli
Vgrizalos nam v capillari
A nasha nadezhda spolzala po stenam, muh ne otgonaya
No vot kak-to odnazhdi, ne znayu, uzh, kak
Prishlo I nam dobro iz-za okeana
I togda, na rashodnak
(Tarantella)
I togda na rashodnak!

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."

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,
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
