Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
You know the finer things in life, ya know, sometimes u gotta kick back and enjoy that shit, look, just relax, (roll that sticky up) summer time bitch
i like sitting in shotgun deuce on an L,
parents not caring 'cause they used to the smell.
classy ass women, fresh ass linen,
hot summer days with a pool i can swim in,
a good spot to kick it, a case of 40s,
them homies always having good stories,
the beer bottles with the twist off caps,
when old people tell that u they listen to rap,
i love days i can sleep in, 4 day weekends,
hoes putting they clothes back on u peeking,
blunt rides with the mixtape bumpin.
i love makin love in public, and when the hip hop legend tour comin to your town,
finding a crispy ass 20 on the ground,
walking when the sun out, watching runs house,
reaction movies when the villain pull his gun out.
the best in life is the free ones, ahh,
the little things everybody need some,
the finer things make you feel better
but no one ever seem to remember,
the best things in life is the free ones,
the little things everybody needs some,
the finer things make you feel better
but no one ever seems to remember
i like sleeping in class, i'm cheatin to pass,
hoes walking in the halls and you reach for their ass,
fast food lines when they moving so quickly,
when your weedman hit u with some sticky,
street performers warming up the corners,
selling by the ounce & pitching by the quarter,
where some kicks on sale,
waking up in the morning with a shitload of mail,
the wake up the bake up,
chillin while u face blunts,
going in blowed (be it shape up?)
like say what? what?
blog put your tape up, get a good review,
when dumbass people tell you what u shouldn't do,
when she rub my head when i'm in between her knees, ha,
getting love from the people overseas,
haters tryina hate but they got nothing to say,
i'ts just the little things that get me threw the day
the best in life is the free ones, ahh,
the little things everybody need some,
the finer things make you feel better
but no one ever seem to remember,
the best things in life is the free ones,
the little things everybody needs some,
the finer things make you feel better

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.
