This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
What'll I do if you never wanna come back
Sittin' in a city that is always on the attack
What'll I do if you never want me back
Come with me come back we'll live again
And what if I'm only satisfied when I'm at home
Sittin' in a city that'll never let me go
What if I'm only satisfied when I'm at home
What'll I do if you never find me again
Sittin' in a province a million miles from my friends
What'll I do if you never find me again
Come with me come back we'll live again
And what if I'm only satisfied when I'm at home
Sittin' in a city that'll never let me go
What if I'm only satisfied when I'm at home
Late at night
Sync your heart beat to mine
I will never try
To forget these northern lies
Late at night
Sink your heart into mine
I will never try
To forget your northern eyes
Run away again
From this Alberta pen
And I will never try
To forget your northern eyes
Run away again
From this Alberta pen
And I will never try
To forget your northern eyes
Meet me there again
Under the lights at the Ledge
And we will burn our eyes
Seeking out these purple nights
Meet me there again
Under the lights at the Ledge
And we will burn our eyes
Seeking out these purple nights
Sittin' in a city that is always on the attack
What'll I do if you never want me back
Come with me come back we'll live again
And what if I'm only satisfied when I'm at home
Sittin' in a city that'll never let me go
What if I'm only satisfied when I'm at home
What'll I do if you never find me again
Sittin' in a province a million miles from my friends
What'll I do if you never find me again
Come with me come back we'll live again
And what if I'm only satisfied when I'm at home
Sittin' in a city that'll never let me go
What if I'm only satisfied when I'm at home
Late at night
Sync your heart beat to mine
I will never try
To forget these northern lies
Late at night
Sink your heart into mine
I will never try
To forget your northern eyes
Run away again
From this Alberta pen
And I will never try
To forget your northern eyes
Run away again
From this Alberta pen
And I will never try
To forget your northern eyes
Meet me there again
Under the lights at the Ledge
And we will burn our eyes
Seeking out these purple nights
Meet me there again
Under the lights at the Ledge
And we will burn our eyes
Seeking out these purple nights

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
'What'll I do if you never find me again? Sittin' in a Province a million miles from my friends. What'll I do if you never want me again?'
Songs like this make me have doubts. Doubts about far-off things, like the person you're going to be when you're older, or the place you want to live in 10 years time. Could a thought really last so long? Surely it must fade out, surely the original feeling can be studied, questioned, doubted and exposed? Thrown out and replaced with a 'better' one.
Given enough time I think even the best idea can seem like a stupid one, or if rushed maybe the worst idea can turn out to be the best one. I don't know. I'm not a person who rushes into things; I analyze relentlessly, I doubt myself almost constantly and I don't think that's ever going to change. It comes down to a moment, or a feeling, or a person, who makes you say "fuck it", gives you the confidence to go through with your stupid pipe dreams, those ones you said "would be nice" but knew you'd never have the guts to do/go/leave/stay.
I had an experience last weekend that made me realise I wasn't confined to being I thought I was. I was in town with a girl the day after we saw Broken Social Scene in concert when we saw 3 of the band members walk into a coffee shop. Being a socially anxious person, I didn't have the confidence to walk up to these amazing people, these heroes of mine, and ask them for an autograph. My friend wanted their autographs too, but was also similarly neurotic. I can't remember if it was a slow build-up or a sudden decision, or whether I wanted to impress her, or whether I was even myself, but I walked right up to them and got their autographs for both of us.
I told her afterward that "I was always going to" but that was a lie. I think she knew; she knows me. But that old pessimistic view I had of "people don't change", I think, is wrong now. Other people can make you change. Whether it's a slow build-up or a sudden impulse I don't know. Whether I have to wait or not, I don't know. But I know I want to change.
'And I will never try To forget your northern eyes.'
I was introduced to this song after I had moved away from Edmonton; it's lyrics and references have pointed a powerful beam of insight and nostalgia on my misgivings about moving away, when I have been imbibing a few too many libations and I listen to this song, it makes me swoon, it makes me wanna hop on the next greyhound for home, for, far too late did I discover, though the city has it's share of blemishes and downsides, it is, my home.
