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.
Everyday, yeah
Oh oh, everyday
This is the real right here
Things ain't always what
They seem check it
People look at us
And say man they got it made
They signed a record deal
And now them boys is paid
But they don't know what
Comes along with it
With all the fame and the
Fortune there's still bull
Cause even though we struggled hard
And gave up everything
Just to make it this far
Some people love us, and
Other people hate us
But we gonna take the haters
Make them our motivators
Cause they don't
Know what we've been through
And none of them could ever
Walk a mile in our shoes
And I got to keep it real
Every record deal ain't a good
Record deal, but I'm a grown man
So I didn't cry about it
Kept my head up, stayed strong
Until I got up out that contract
And I reminisce on what my lawyer
Use to say, but I wanted it so bad
I guess I had to learn the hard way
Everyday, ya
Everyday the pressures of
This game got us goin insane
If it ain't one damn thing it's
Another thing it's another thing
Everyday the pressures of
This game got us goin insane
If it ain't one damn thing it's
Another thing it's another thing
People want to know
What's goin on with one twelve
If they leave, if they leave
Are their records gonna sell
They say that he gave us the hits
Knowin' damn well that we write our own sh
It's not that I'm mad about it
But I gotta clear it up
For those wonderin about it
I think you need to read the credits
Open up the CD dog and read the credits
Cause things ain't always what they seem
So don't believe everything you see on TV
In the videos, I was in a Bentley
And that Bentley in it, belonged to me
My earrings had to be at least five carrots
I had to live up to that superstar status
Stayed on the road had to stay
Doing shows even though I'm going broke
I couldn't let nobody know
Everyday the pressures of
This game got us goin insane
If it ain't one damn thing it's
Another thing it's another thing
Everyday the pressures of
This game got us goin insane
If it ain't one damn thing it's
Another thing it's another thing
People look at us and say
How does it feel on a new label
With a multi million dollar deal?
I'm just glad we stayed together
We put our faith in the lord
And he made things better
Cause he said it in his word
That one day your gonna get
What y'all deserve, wow
Now aren't ya glad we stayed together
Through the good and the bad times
We stayed together
Through the rich and the broke times
Through stormy weather
And hey, now we look back like
Don't you remember
When you couldn't afford that boy
Hey, sunroof top
Chillin' on the scene
With a down south female
Like hey, how ya love that
Twenty four inch rims
Big body Cadillac
And hey, we do it like that
Everyday the pressures of
This game got us goin insane
If it ain't one damn thing it's
Another thing it's another thing
Everyday the pressures of
This game got us goin insane
If it ain't one damn thing it's
Another thing it's another thing

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
