This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's like that money in my palm, soon as I spend it, want it
Soon as it's on, I'm off it, soon as I get it, lost it
It's like the moment compared to staring at pictures of it
It pick you up then drop you down
You blink, you missed it, wish you watched it
So amazing when it's there, when it ain't it's so unfair
Go from square one to atmosphere, then back to here, and
I thought I had it on lock, turns out you can't restrict it
Can't rush it, can't predict it, that's part and parcel with
Happiness, happiness is fine but it's momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my
Happiness, happiness is fine but its momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my happiness
We take that weekend by storm, tick tour dates off tour posters
Start that long sleep to sober, then just like that it's over
We party like rock stars, looking down on how kings would live
And wake up to setting suns, smoke stains on our fingertips, but
It's perfect in that moment, we own it, it's ours
No happy ever afters, just happy for right nows
So fleeting so profound, thoughts full in my head
It's nights I won't remember with mates I'll never forget that's my
Happiness, happiness is fine but it's momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my
Happiness, happiness is fine but it's momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my happiness
Full tilt, we hit them highs, man they come and go like seasons
I know when it's arrived, hardly catch it till it's leaving
Hold tight for them up and downs
Hold tight for them up and downs
Hold tight for them up and downs
Hold tight for them up and downs
Hold tight, hold on, and don't slow down, no, no
That's my up and downs
That's my up and downs
That's my up and downs
That's my up and downs
Yeah, ain't no amount of words, close to define that feeling
Reality and dreaming, toe that fine line between 'em
Soon as it got here, it's leaving, dunno when it's going round again, but
Move forward, push towards it, means justify the end, so
We're scouring far and wide, through love and fear and hurting
But after all that searching, goddamn it it's worth it
Bang the head of the nail, we don't dream to scale
Long as there's wind in my sails, I'ma stay hot on the trail, my
Happiness, happiness is fine but its momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my
Happiness, happiness is fine but its momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my happiness
Soon as it's on, I'm off it, soon as I get it, lost it
It's like the moment compared to staring at pictures of it
It pick you up then drop you down
You blink, you missed it, wish you watched it
So amazing when it's there, when it ain't it's so unfair
Go from square one to atmosphere, then back to here, and

Can't rush it, can't predict it, that's part and parcel with
Happiness, happiness is fine but it's momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my
Happiness, happiness is fine but its momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my happiness

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,
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i think it's so cool the way they define happiness in this lyrics, it's so true
