This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Am I not understanding this now?
This world I've held so close to my heart
Is all against me now
And it wears, and it breaks,
And it brings me down, so low, down so low
It wears me down, down to my bones
Straight through my skin
It wears me down, down to my bones
Wearing away until I'm nothing
Am I not understanding this now?
This world I've held so close to my heart
Is now more broken then ever
And I tried compassion
And to love every other
I've tried forgiveness
And to hold on close to my brothers
And look at where its left us
Did I ever understand enough?
Did all my words fall on deaf ears?
Was what I wrote only shown to closed eyes?
Have you ever felt like you did everything right
And it still all went wrong
Am I not understanding this now?
This world I've held so close to my heart
Is now more broken then ever
And I tried compassion
And to love every other
I've tried forgiveness
And to hold on close to my brothers
And look at where its left us
Did I ever understand enough?
Six years ago I married a bride
I'm not sure she was meant to be mine
Six years ago I married a bride
I'm not sure she was meant to be mine
So unsure of everything
So unsure of everything
I live in the marriage of life and love
But was I mistaken all along?
Have you ever felt like you did everything right
But it still all went wrong?
So here I am filled with doubt
Understanding with live will be
My only way out
Don't give up on me
Because it might take days
Take comfort in me if you
Feel the same
Feel the same
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
Take comfort in me
Take comfort in me
We need to fix ourselves
And make right all our mistakes
Its all we can do
Its all we can do
Its all I can do
So I ask will you?
This world I've held so close to my heart
Is all against me now
And it wears, and it breaks,
And it brings me down, so low, down so low
It wears me down, down to my bones
Straight through my skin
It wears me down, down to my bones
Wearing away until I'm nothing
Am I not understanding this now?
This world I've held so close to my heart
Is now more broken then ever
And I tried compassion
And to love every other
I've tried forgiveness
And to hold on close to my brothers
And look at where its left us
Did I ever understand enough?
Did all my words fall on deaf ears?
Was what I wrote only shown to closed eyes?
Have you ever felt like you did everything right
And it still all went wrong
Am I not understanding this now?
This world I've held so close to my heart
Is now more broken then ever
And I tried compassion
And to love every other
I've tried forgiveness
And to hold on close to my brothers
And look at where its left us
Did I ever understand enough?
Six years ago I married a bride
I'm not sure she was meant to be mine
Six years ago I married a bride
I'm not sure she was meant to be mine
So unsure of everything
So unsure of everything
I live in the marriage of life and love
But was I mistaken all along?
Have you ever felt like you did everything right
But it still all went wrong?
So here I am filled with doubt
Understanding with live will be
My only way out
Don't give up on me
Because it might take days
Take comfort in me if you
Feel the same
Feel the same
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
Take comfort in me
Take comfort in me
We need to fix ourselves
And make right all our mistakes
Its all we can do
Its all we can do
Its all I can do
So I ask will 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."

When We Were Young

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
The meaning is pretty obvious:
It's about losing trust in all your actions. It just sometimes happens that you do everything right, but you don't seem to progress in life itself. You aim high, but eventually notice that you're not that big impact on earth you want yourself to be, so your grip to life slowly loosens. But like any WCAR-Song, it has a positive ending: We just need time to realize what we really are, and what we really are able to do, so we can recover from the shock of our own existence.
