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."
Creo que no podré sobrevivirte
Se me acabó la ilusión
De esa noche en que te fuiste
Tú me deshiciste
Ya no consigo dejar de pensarte
Entre rabia y dolor
Imagino tu carita tan triste
Cuando me dijiste
Lo siento tanto ya no puedo
Me he quedado sin amor
Para qué continuar
Si falta corazón
Maldito el momento en que te hice mía
Si dices adiós y te amo todavía
Malditas las ganas de volver a verte
Si ya te he perdido maldita suerte
De quererte aunque se caiga el mundo
Vivir para ti morir cada segundo
Maldita la hora en que nos prometimos
Alcanzar el cielo y el cielo se desplomó
Son muchas las vueltas
Que nos da el camino
Desesperado me ves como
Me golpeó el destino
Inmenso vacío
Solo que queda de nuestra alegría
Una botella en el mar
Un río de melancolía
Yo que no sabia
Que tú eras tanto
Y eras todo el infinito para mí
Me vuelvo loco amor
Hay qué será de mí
Maldito el momento en que te hice mía
Si dices adiós y te amo todavía
Malditas las ganas de volver a verte
Si ya te he perdido maldita suerte
De quererte aunque se caiga el mundo
Vivir para ti morir cada segundo
Maldita la hora en que nos prometimos
Alcanzar el cielo, el cielo se desplomó
Solo Dios sabe lo que te amé
Tal vez no fue suficiente
Quizás me equivoqué
Hoy el dolor está matándome
Maldito el momento en que te hice mía
Hoy dices adiós y te amo todavía
Si te fuiste de mi lado amor
Cuando más yo te quería
Maldito el momento en que te hice mía
Que suerte, la mía
Que eras todo el infinito para mí
Pero yo no lo sabia
Maldito el momento en que te hice mía
Hoy dices adiós y te amo todavía
Y yo que tanto te adore
Que solo me quede
Quien lo diría
Maldito el momento en que te hice mía
Hoy dices adiós y te amo todavía (pero maldita suerte)
Estas ganas de
Quererte y de amarte hasta la muerte
Tú me hiciste brujería
Maldita suerte la mía
Y que paso con aquel amor que me prometías
Yo te amo todavía
Como el agua entre los dedos
Un día se perdería
Maldita suerte la mía
Donde estará el amor donde se iría
yo te amo todavía
Si alguien sabe la respuesta por favor que me la diga
Maldita suerte la mía
Yo te amo todavía
Maldita suerte la mía
Maldita suerte la mía
Se me acabó la ilusión
De esa noche en que te fuiste
Tú me deshiciste
Ya no consigo dejar de pensarte
Entre rabia y dolor
Imagino tu carita tan triste
Cuando me dijiste
Lo siento tanto ya no puedo
Me he quedado sin amor
Para qué continuar
Si falta corazón
Maldito el momento en que te hice mía
Si dices adiós y te amo todavía
Malditas las ganas de volver a verte
Si ya te he perdido maldita suerte
De quererte aunque se caiga el mundo
Vivir para ti morir cada segundo
Maldita la hora en que nos prometimos
Alcanzar el cielo y el cielo se desplomó
Son muchas las vueltas
Que nos da el camino
Desesperado me ves como
Me golpeó el destino
Inmenso vacío
Solo que queda de nuestra alegría
Una botella en el mar
Un río de melancolía
Yo que no sabia

Y eras todo el infinito para mí
Me vuelvo loco amor
Hay qué será de mí
Maldito el momento en que te hice mía
Si dices adiós y te amo todavía
Malditas las ganas de volver a verte

De quererte aunque se caiga el mundo

Maldita suerte la mía
Maldita suerte la mía

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
