Mmm
Mmm

I picked a wishing weed beneath your mother's tree
And I asked it to bring you back to me
Then a dragonfly took it to the sky
And it rode on the wind until it caught your eye

I'm never gonna get over you
Not 'cause I can't
'Cause I don't want to
Mmm
I'm gonna get you back if it's the only thing I do
I'm never gonna get over you

I took the secret path to where I saw you last
And a sparrow dropped a letter to me as it passed
It was a simple sketch of a heart in red
And it broke me when I opened it 'cause all it said was

I'm never gonna get over you
Not 'cause I can't
'Cause I don't want to
You know it's true that I'm gonna get you back if it's the only thing I do
I'm never gonna get over

Of all the lovers found and lost and never seen again
You're the only one that's worth repeating through my head

I'm never gonna get over you
Mmm
Not 'cause I can't
'Cause I don't want to
You know it's true that I'm gonna get you back if it's the only thing I do
I'm never gonna get over you
Oh
I'm never gonna get over you

    i think its "of all the lover's found and lost and never seen again..." not sure though such a beautiful song

    i think it's pretty easy to understand.

    a person he absolutely adores and doesn't want to stop loving, even though there not together anymore

    My Interpretation

    I can never express enough how much I absolutely love Jason Reeves. His music is beautiful. This song is pretty much self explanitory though. It isn't much more difficult than that he is thinking about a former love and wishing he were with her again and he has decided that he will get her back no matter what it takes, if its the only thing he does because he wont ever get over her. I am thinking that the second verse is supposed to be a sign that she wants him back too because its a letter saying that shes never going to get over him. I THINK thats what it means but I am not sure. A slight correction in Lyrics though because it is "of all the lovers found and lost and never seen again.. you're the only one that runs repeating through my head". Other than that, this song is definitely one of my major favorites and I love Jason Reeves... as I said before.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."
