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.
Here we go [Repeat: x3]
Let's Rock [Repeat: x6]
My name Chrisette Michele,
Get To know me well cause I got a whole lot to bring
Add a little flavor in the Disco, hope you like the tempo,
Let's go move your feet
Take two steps to the right,
just bop, do the wop, get fly, get fresh to death
Now just slide to the other side,
Let's do like Bey to the Left, To the left
All my lovely people to my Left, right now get ready for me
All my happy people to my right, right now move, to the beat
All my east coast people in the place to be, get ready to go
All my west coast people in the place just Rock, rock with me, Rock Rock
[Chorus:]
Let's Rock, Let's Rock, Let's Rock
Let's rock, Let's Rock, Let's Rock
Let me take a minute, Give me 116, one paper, one pen and one studio
Let me get a verse, yeah I got nerve, don't need to reherse, I just need to blow
So many ladies in the game right now, who want to rock with the chris on the microphone
I've been studying Ms. Billy, Ms. Ella, Ms. Sarah Vaughn, and Ms.Natalie Cole
All My people locked up, never give up, just hold your head up, oh oh
All my baby mommas, heart breaking, pretty mommas, just move ahead, oh oh
All my down south people in the place to be, get ready to go
All my mid-west people in the place, just Rock, rock with me, rock rock
[Chorus: x2]
Let's Rock
Give me just one moment and I'll take you away my friend in the Disco tonight
It's no matter who you are, won't you hear my heart, I will sing tonight
No longer you will worry, no longer you will hurt, girl
No longer my lovely, forever will you Rock with me, Rock Rock
[Chorus: x2]
Let's Rock [Repeat: x6]

Little Feat
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”
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."
