Wrap your hands around my throat
I want to know through suffocation
If this life is real, If I'm still breathing
I'm falling into the sky

Lights are passing, thoughts are fading
I hear a voice, it calls for me,
It beckons to me from beyond
"Go home, go home, return, return,
for they must see the truth"
"Go home, go home, return, return,
for they must see the truth"
"Go home, go home, return, return,
for they must see the truth"

Wrap your hands around my, throat
I want to know through suffocation
If I can still breathe through my lungs
I heard a voice from a heavenly father
As he warned,
"Go home, they're not done with you.
Return, they need to see the truth"
I want to know through suffocation
If I’ve truly slipped away

How long have I been dead?
How long have I not been breathing?
How long have I been dead?
How long have I been bleeding?

Never would I think that this could happen to me
Cast into blackness, as such an ominous tone
Crawling through hallways,
As every doorway is closed, to everything I know

All I can see is the light, as it calls for me
It beckons too me from beyond
"Go home, they're not done with you return
return, so come and see the truth"
"Go home, they're not done with you return
return, YOU need to see the truth"

Strike me, where I stand,
I'm the shadow of a broken man
I'm calling out to you
But you can't hear my voice (can't hear my voice)

[musical break]

So wrap your arms around me
I want to feel the life that I once had
But when I'm in your presence,
I feel the loss that no man has.
So just wrap your arms around me
So wrap your arms around me
So wrap your arms around me

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."

Gentle Hour
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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
