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”
Somebody's out there listening right now
So please turn your radio, oh, oh, oh
Yeah
She planned to finish school and get a degree
Start a business and make her own money
But somehow her dreams didn't work out that way
She fell in love at the age of sixteen
Had two babies and she couldn't believe that
The boy she loved is now gone away
But because you've had some setbacks in ya life
It doesn't mean you shouldn't let, just let your dreams die
Baby you're a star
Don't cha know who you are
Don't chu let anybody tell you nothin' different
But you know what's in ya heart
But baby you're a star
Don't cha know who ya are
If you could only see what I see
But first you must believe oh you're a star
He graduated at the top of the class
Had everything he needed and more
And like eagle he was made to soar
But at the wrong place, at the wrong time
Introduced to a drug that messed up his mind
Lost so many years now he's makin' up for lost time
And you may have fallen on your journey my friend
But let me encourage you to get back up and try again
Baby you're a star
Don't cha know who you are
Don't let nobody tell you nothin' different
But then cha know that's in ya heart
But baby you're a star
That's you ya are
If you could only see what I see
You first must believe baby you're a star
You are only human, you're born to make mistakes along the way
And God has blessed you with something that is so pure
You just need some motivation, and need a little push
To get up off floor and walk through the dark
Baby you're a star ooh
Don't let her tell ya nothin' different
Than what ya know what's in your heart
Baby, baby, baby you're a star
You still can read to go, you got to take control
Baby you're a star oh
Ah oh
Ah oh
I know, I know baby you're a star
That's who you are
Just make up in your mind that you were meant to shine
Baby
You're a star
That's who ya are
So please turn your radio, oh, oh, oh
Yeah

Mountain Song

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."
