All the things you'll love,
All the things that may hurt you,
All the things you shouldn't do,
And all the things you want to...
They're calling your name...travel safely.
They're calling your name...travel safely.

Every first kiss, every crisis, every heartbreak and every act of kindness...
They're calling your name...travel safely.
They're calling your name...travel safely.

Every empire, every monument, every masterpiece and every invention,
They're calling your name...travel safely.
They're calling your name...travel safely.

I found stars on the tip of your tongue.
You speak Poltergeist, so do I. So do I.

What comes will come.
What goes will go.
The wind will blow where the wind is blowing.
Don't let go of where you think you're going.
We'll never know why it flows where it's flowing.

We've always been what we will always be.
I'm so convinced we have to get there, we can part the sea.
So bring the dead to life, turn your blood to wine.
All your life you have waited for this moment to arrive.

And you'll be bright.

    my interpretation: theres just things you can't change or control and you'll have to learn to accept. you may not understand everything or everyone, but thats ok. everyone has flaws and everyone has something special about them. you can be your own miracle, but you have to be willing to live, grow and move on. you're alawys going to be the same person you are now and have always been. but to grow and better yourself you're gonna have to perform hard tasks, not really parting the sea or any other mythical miracles, but things that are special and difficult for you that help you grow.

    i love their beautiful insight. one of the many bands that can make me feel better about life, no matter how bad i may feel.

    light chasers is another incredible album by some incredibly thoughtful people.

    The things you shouldn't do, but want to,. still calling your name saying "travel safely" "you speak poltergeist (disruptive entity) so do I"

    There's always something, somewhere,

    It may be a power, thats calling, a conscience, I feel its saying simply to be cautious, saying "your not alone, be safe" it's not judging, It may be things in your way, it may be simply existing,

    It's a blessing, "Travel safely"

    Maybe this "other person" is the song itself, maybe it's life, all it's asking, All it's saying is to "travel safely" as a blessing,

    Then it takes a break and promises that "you will be bright", which is hard for me to believe, but without that attitude, life wouldn't go on.

    The line is, throughout:

    (They're calling your name.) Travel safely. (They're calling your name.) Travel safely.

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."

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
