You have got to move on
This is not the you I know
This isn't real
It's just all you can feel
And that's the way that feelings go

And whether or not it's right or wrong
You'll do what you will do

[Chorus]
But when the cloud in the sky starts to pour in your life
Its just a storm you're braving
Well don't tell yourself
You can't lean on someone
Cause we all need saving

Sometimes

Say what you will
But the time that we fill
While we are on the Earth
Should not be alone
We were meant to be known
You make me what I'm worth
But I can't keep you from yourself
You'll do what you will do

[Chorus]

And I don't know
Why it has to be this way
And I don't know
The cure
But please believe someone else has felt this before

[Chorus]

We all need saving
Sometimes
Sometimes

    wow. such a beautiful, heartfelt song (and i've only heard the live performances) its a song about leaning on your friends through the hard times and not trying to brave everything yourself because your friends have probably gone through the same things and you'd do yourself a favor by seeking help from them.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
