its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I will only, let you down.
I will only, let you down.
But my door, is always open.
Yeah my door, is always open.
Well I don't think, that I ever loved you.
But the world is dieing to meet you.
Oh black birds they sing off the mountains.
Joyous love songs that drift through the houses.
But now I'm free,
Now I'm free,
Now I'm free from all your pain.
Oh well church bells, they are ringing for you.
Oh and choirs are singing in red,
Oh your voice could summon the angels,
And your beauty, could waken the dead.
But now I'm free,
Now I'm free,
Now I'm free from all your pain.
Well you have only let me down
You have only, let me down
But my door is always open
Yeah my door is always open.
Yeah I love with my heart and I hold it in my hands,
But you know, my hearts not yours.
Yeah I love with my heart and I hold it in my hands,
But you know, my hearts not yours.
Yeah I love with my heart and I hold it in my hands,
But you know, my hearts not yours.
Yeah I love with my heart and I hold it in my hands,
But you know, my hearts not yours.
I will only, let you down.
But my door, is always open.
Yeah my door, is always open.
Well I don't think, that I ever loved you.
But the world is dieing to meet you.
Oh black birds they sing off the mountains.
Joyous love songs that drift through the houses.
But now I'm free,
Now I'm free,
Now I'm free from all your pain.
Oh well church bells, they are ringing for you.
Oh and choirs are singing in red,
Oh your voice could summon the angels,
And your beauty, could waken the dead.
But now I'm free,
Now I'm free,
Now I'm free from all your pain.
Well you have only let me down
You have only, let me down
But my door is always open
Yeah my door is always open.
Yeah I love with my heart and I hold it in my hands,
But you know, my hearts not yours.
Yeah I love with my heart and I hold it in my hands,
But you know, my hearts not yours.
Yeah I love with my heart and I hold it in my hands,
But you know, my hearts not yours.
Yeah I love with my heart and I hold it in my hands,
But you know, my hearts not yours.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."
I will only let you down I will only, let you down but my door is always open Yeah, my door is always open
Oh I don't think that I ever loved you but the world is dying to meet you Oh blackbirds they sing off of mountains joyous love songs that drift through the houses
But now I'm free now I'm free now I'm free from all your pain
Oh well church bells they are ringing for you Oh and choirs are singing in red Oh your voice can summon the angels and your beauty could wake up the dead
But now I'm free now I'm free now I'm free from your pain
Well you have only let me down you have only, let me down but my door is always open yeah my door is always open
Well I loved with my heart and I held with my hands but you know my hearts' not yours Well I loved with my heart and I held with my hands but you know my hearts not yours Yeah I loved with my heart and I held with my hands but you know my hearts not yours (repeat)
