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”
Just take your clothes off
Lay back, clear up your mind
And I'll turn down the lights
Just take the pain and the pressure
And leave it behind
It's all for you tonight
(I touch ya)
We're like an island
We're all alone here
I'm going down babe
Go ahead get loud
Gonna give you fireworks tonight my girl, tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna set your sky on fire while I'm inside tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
I'm not the first
But I promise
I'll be the last to get you off like this
(I touch ya)
We're like an island
We're all alone here
I'm going down babe
Go ahead get loud
Don't you be afraid and you'll feel everything
The waterfalls elate the shakes
Gonna give you fireworks tonight my girl, tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna set your sky on fire while I'm inside tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna give you fireworks tonight my girl, tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna set your sky on fire when I'm inside tonight
In this moment, the past just melts away
In this moment, high on life we stay
Feel the lips, our hips, we're sweating an ocean
The sex connects forever to us
Gonna give you fireworks tonight my girl, tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna set your sky on fire while I'm inside tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna give you fireworks tonight my girl, tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna set your sky on fire when I'm inside tonight
Lay back, clear up your mind
And I'll turn down the lights
Just take the pain and the pressure
And leave it behind
It's all for you tonight
(I touch ya)
We're like an island
We're all alone here
I'm going down babe
Go ahead get loud
Gonna give you fireworks tonight my girl, tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna set your sky on fire while I'm inside tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
I'm not the first
But I promise
I'll be the last to get you off like this
(I touch ya)
We're like an island
We're all alone here
I'm going down babe
Go ahead get loud
Don't you be afraid and you'll feel everything
The waterfalls elate the shakes
Gonna give you fireworks tonight my girl, tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna set your sky on fire while I'm inside tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna give you fireworks tonight my girl, tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna set your sky on fire when I'm inside tonight
In this moment, the past just melts away
In this moment, high on life we stay
Feel the lips, our hips, we're sweating an ocean
The sex connects forever to us
Gonna give you fireworks tonight my girl, tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna set your sky on fire while I'm inside tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna give you fireworks tonight my girl, tonight
I'm going down babe, go ahead get loud
Gonna set your sky on fire when I'm inside tonight

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."

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,
