In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
We're blessed by cosmic powder
We're blessed by greenish trees
We're the ones who were gifted suddenly
The ones endowed with wonder
That's not widely possessed
Created by the mistake everybody've felt
Do not close your eyes and look around yourself
Will we be waiting for the miracle to the end
Watching as it falls, watching as we die
We're the virus for that soil but Earth will purify
The game named evolution
What is it going to?
Is there a master plan which leads us through?
A self-destruction project
That's beyond our control
Now there's no way back, how could we fall so low?
Do not close your eyes and look around yourself
Will we be waiting for the miracle to the end
Watching as it falls, watching as we die
We're the virus for that soil but Earth will purify
We will fall
We won't try
How it is to live or cry
We won't see as much as you've seen
You have taken our dreams
Tell us how looks the sky
We have never been wet or dry
We won't see as much as you've seen
Do not close your eyes and look around yourself
Will we be waiting for the miracle to the end
Watching as it falls, watching as we die
We're the virus for that soil but Earth will purify
We're blessed by greenish trees
We're the ones who were gifted suddenly
The ones endowed with wonder
That's not widely possessed
Created by the mistake everybody've felt
Do not close your eyes and look around yourself
Will we be waiting for the miracle to the end
Watching as it falls, watching as we die
We're the virus for that soil but Earth will purify
The game named evolution
What is it going to?
Is there a master plan which leads us through?
A self-destruction project
That's beyond our control
Now there's no way back, how could we fall so low?
Do not close your eyes and look around yourself
Will we be waiting for the miracle to the end
Watching as it falls, watching as we die
We're the virus for that soil but Earth will purify
We will fall
We won't try
How it is to live or cry
We won't see as much as you've seen
You have taken our dreams
Tell us how looks the sky
We have never been wet or dry
We won't see as much as you've seen
Do not close your eyes and look around yourself
Will we be waiting for the miracle to the end
Watching as it falls, watching as we die
We're the virus for that soil but Earth will purify

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
