This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
So maybe I'll forget and possibly regret
But I highly doubt it I've done this before
What makes you think that this time's any different?
I'm used to the distance I've done this before
At the risk of taking a risk I will say only this
I will take back what I've given and more
You were a fool to think this would mean anything
But I admit I was just as foolish as you
And I can make it on my own.
We'll set this night on fire, leave something to remember
And in these tattered sheets, I swear to god I won't forget you
Abandon our chances, the latest of fashions
We'll just see what happens, we'll give it some time
At least I can say I at least had my way with you
That being said, I know I'll be fine
And I can make it on my own
We'll set this night on fire, leave something to remember
And in these tattered sheets, I swear to god I won't forget you
So wipe off the blood and count up your bruises
You reek of half smoked cigarettes and half planned excuses
If we carry on we won't make it through this
I'll wait for the day to hear "How could you do this?"
We'll set this night on fire, leave something to remember
And in these tattered sheets, I swear to god I won't forget you
But I highly doubt it I've done this before
What makes you think that this time's any different?
I'm used to the distance I've done this before
At the risk of taking a risk I will say only this
I will take back what I've given and more
You were a fool to think this would mean anything
But I admit I was just as foolish as you
And I can make it on my own.
We'll set this night on fire, leave something to remember
And in these tattered sheets, I swear to god I won't forget you
Abandon our chances, the latest of fashions
We'll just see what happens, we'll give it some time
At least I can say I at least had my way with you
That being said, I know I'll be fine
And I can make it on my own
We'll set this night on fire, leave something to remember
And in these tattered sheets, I swear to god I won't forget you
So wipe off the blood and count up your bruises
You reek of half smoked cigarettes and half planned excuses
If we carry on we won't make it through this
I'll wait for the day to hear "How could you do this?"
We'll set this night on fire, leave something to remember
And in these tattered sheets, I swear to god I won't forget you

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."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
