Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
I fell in love
At second sight
At the end of the night
I told you you’re beautiful
Yea oh I wanted too
Days are getting colder
I felt the winter strangle the fall
Your birthday, then Christmas
Another year has come and gone
Then it was spring
And I couldn’t wait
To take you out dancing
But the sickness, the darkness, consumed my forsaken soul
And then it was June
But you weren’t around
I wanted to find you
You told me not to look so damn hard but I did
Like you
Right from the start
You’re baby teeth just chewing and gnawing my heart
You just wouldn’t let it go
I didn’t want you to
I shrugged off my amour, my weapons. And denounced my faith
I’m coming to get you, God be damned if he gets in my way
Cause if he does
I’ll cut him in thirds
I’ll cough up a prayer for him
My blood damns you father, the son, and the Holy Ghost
Then I’ll wage war
Against anyone
That dares to stop me from
I’ll find you. I’ll rescue you from the light, my love
Fell the heart of their blood on the side of my throat
I can’t get their taste off my tongue
I chewed through the bones, killed the kids, burned their homes
I felt their sharp soot in my lungs
You told me no
You wanted to leave
Because you couldn’t love me
But baby, it’s too late, they’re all dead, what the hell did I do?
What if you stayed?
What if you did?
What if you wanted to?
I’m sorry I loved you, but it’s all I think about
At second sight
At the end of the night
I told you you’re beautiful
Yea oh I wanted too
Days are getting colder
I felt the winter strangle the fall
Your birthday, then Christmas
Another year has come and gone
Then it was spring
And I couldn’t wait
To take you out dancing
But the sickness, the darkness, consumed my forsaken soul
And then it was June
But you weren’t around
I wanted to find you
You told me not to look so damn hard but I did
Like you
Right from the start
You’re baby teeth just chewing and gnawing my heart
You just wouldn’t let it go
I didn’t want you to
I shrugged off my amour, my weapons. And denounced my faith
I’m coming to get you, God be damned if he gets in my way
Cause if he does
I’ll cut him in thirds
I’ll cough up a prayer for him
My blood damns you father, the son, and the Holy Ghost
Then I’ll wage war
Against anyone
That dares to stop me from
I’ll find you. I’ll rescue you from the light, my love
Fell the heart of their blood on the side of my throat
I can’t get their taste off my tongue
I chewed through the bones, killed the kids, burned their homes
I felt their sharp soot in my lungs
You told me no
You wanted to leave
Because you couldn’t love me
But baby, it’s too late, they’re all dead, what the hell did I do?
What if you stayed?
What if you did?
What if you wanted to?
I’m sorry I loved you, but it’s all I think about

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."

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'

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/
beautiful beautiful beautiful the new album is sounding so promising
Absolutely astounding.
I like the old version a bit more than the new one. More emotion.
