This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
promise me you'll never settle
promise me you'll find shimmer in every mad hue
the sky does not need to be blue
that's what I learned from you
promise me you'll save your magic
for someone who wants sparkle in their life
let's build a stone house in the woods
i don't know how to not be good to you
you won't need a scale
to weigh how much love I have for
you won't need a clock
to count the minutes I will wait for
you won't need a level
I'll walk on crooked floors if need be
I don't want to forget how to say I love you
promise me if we go ten years
without speaking, you will still dream of me
you'll grow your hair out, I'll cut mine
I'll think about you all the time, all the time
promise me when our bones get brittle
you will still see glitter in everyday life
come blue rain or pink sunshine
we'll still make love all the time, all the time
you won't need a scale
to weigh how much love I have for
you won't need a clock
to count the minutes I will wait for
you won't need a level
I'll walk on crooked floors if need be
I don't want to forget how to say I love you
never settle
never settle
never settle
never settle
I don't want to forget how to say
I don't want to forget how to say I love you
kiss me on my collarbones and I will surely rise
to watch with you the new day to sit there warm in your side
did you know birds can learn new songs?
did you know night was so short?
did you hear the last thing I whispered?
I hope not, I hope not
rest your hands on my cold knees so I may drift to sleep
to dream of curling round you and wake to find you with me
never settle
never settle
never settle
never settle
I don't want to forget how to say
I don't want to forget how to say
I don't want to forget how to say I love you
promise me you'll find shimmer in every mad hue
the sky does not need to be blue
that's what I learned from you
promise me you'll save your magic
for someone who wants sparkle in their life
let's build a stone house in the woods
i don't know how to not be good to you
you won't need a scale
to weigh how much love I have for
you won't need a clock
to count the minutes I will wait for
you won't need a level
I'll walk on crooked floors if need be
I don't want to forget how to say I love you
promise me if we go ten years
without speaking, you will still dream of me
you'll grow your hair out, I'll cut mine
I'll think about you all the time, all the time
promise me when our bones get brittle
you will still see glitter in everyday life
come blue rain or pink sunshine
we'll still make love all the time, all the time
you won't need a scale
to weigh how much love I have for
you won't need a clock
to count the minutes I will wait for
you won't need a level
I'll walk on crooked floors if need be
I don't want to forget how to say I love you
never settle
never settle
never settle
never settle
I don't want to forget how to say
I don't want to forget how to say I love you
kiss me on my collarbones and I will surely rise
to watch with you the new day to sit there warm in your side
did you know birds can learn new songs?
did you know night was so short?
did you hear the last thing I whispered?
I hope not, I hope not
rest your hands on my cold knees so I may drift to sleep
to dream of curling round you and wake to find you with me
never settle
never settle
never settle
never settle
I don't want to forget how to say
I don't want to forget how to say
I don't want to forget how to say I love 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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I think this song is about someone who has been recently broken up with. The vocalist keeps repeating that she doesn't want to forget (key word) how to say "I love you." She talks about the future and how if they go years without speaking, all of her intimate imagery seems to be prematurely reminiscent. Most tellingly, she wishes for whomever she's singing about to do well when they are no longer around her. Even though things are through between her and the subject, she's still hopelessly in love with them and is in denial that their relationship is over.
This song is sad, but so absolutely lovely.
