This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Don't look down
I think I heard them comin' round
Through the backyard and below us
Now it's it
What's that sound?
Did I leave on Mrs. Robinson?
Reception that's so clear to my ear
Everybody said to you they want to love
Send you roses on your birthday
Did I give you enough?
Oh, everybody prayed that you would let them say
And it took a hateful army
To at least make them go away
And it's so lonely at the top
The only postcard is the drop
You sail alone
Can you see me from the top?
I got a song that's lookin' up
Forget me not
Better not to look down
Hold your breath
If we keep up our appearances
They'll never see us go
Oh, not yet
Living death
I'm still waiting on the rooftop for a sign to line the visual to the test
Everybody's saying they want to love, love, love....
Everybody prayed that you would let them stay
Oh, stay
And it's so lonely at the top
The only postcard is the drop
You sail alone
Can you see me from the top?
I've got a song that's lookin' up
Forget me not
Better not to look down
Better not to look down
But better not to look down
Together we planned it
I said if you made it
It won't change a thing
But you're not here
To tell me you need love
Constructing the myth of
You're howling for me
But can't you
Say what it's like?
Say what it means for us?
The offer you made
And I'll explain what it's like to hope
That easy come and easy go
Easy come
Easy go
I think I heard them comin' round
Through the backyard and below us
Now it's it
What's that sound?
Did I leave on Mrs. Robinson?
Reception that's so clear to my ear
Everybody said to you they want to love
Send you roses on your birthday
Did I give you enough?
Oh, everybody prayed that you would let them say
And it took a hateful army
To at least make them go away
And it's so lonely at the top
The only postcard is the drop
You sail alone
Can you see me from the top?
I got a song that's lookin' up
Forget me not
Better not to look down
Hold your breath
If we keep up our appearances
They'll never see us go
Oh, not yet
Living death
I'm still waiting on the rooftop for a sign to line the visual to the test
Everybody's saying they want to love, love, love....
Everybody prayed that you would let them stay
Oh, stay
And it's so lonely at the top
The only postcard is the drop
You sail alone
Can you see me from the top?
I've got a song that's lookin' up
Forget me not
Better not to look down
Better not to look down
But better not to look down
Together we planned it
I said if you made it
It won't change a thing
But you're not here
To tell me you need love
Constructing the myth of
You're howling for me
But can't you
Say what it's like?
Say what it means for us?
The offer you made
And I'll explain what it's like to hope
That easy come and easy go
Easy come
Easy go

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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
