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.
I found a switch, you turned it on
I hit the ditch, you carried on
I was so near, now you're so far
Are you quite sure, just who you are?
Oh I-I-I-I-I-I, know you could choose a friend but you don't seem to have the time
Oh I-I-I-I-I-I, I wonder if you ever get to say what's on your mind
Well take a little time
Come on, take a little time
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
But you never call at all
Say what's the complication
It's only conversation
I love it when you call
But you never call at all, whoa-oh
(He loves it when you call)
(He loves it when you call)
Remember me, I used to be
Your best time buddy that you couldn't wait to see
But gettin' old, it takes a toll
And hearts getting broken lead to people growin' cold
Oh I-I-I-I-I-I, I'm thinking were the kind that's got a tale on either side
Oh I-I-I-I-I-I, I'm gonna be the one who makes you stop and realize
You could have it all
Yeah, we should have it all
I love it when you call (He loves it when you call)
I love it when you call (He loves it when you call)
I love it when you call
But you never call at all
So what's the complication
It's only conversation
I love it when you call
But you never call at all, whoa-oh
(He loves it when you call)
(He loves it when you call)
Now I wonder where you've been
Yeah I wonder who you've seen
Now I hope you find your dream
When you do I really hope its all it seems
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
But you never call at all
Say what's the complication
It's only conversation
I love it when you call
But you never call at all, whoa!
I hit the ditch, you carried on
I was so near, now you're so far
Are you quite sure, just who you are?
Oh I-I-I-I-I-I, know you could choose a friend but you don't seem to have the time
Oh I-I-I-I-I-I, I wonder if you ever get to say what's on your mind
Well take a little time
Come on, take a little time
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
But you never call at all
Say what's the complication
It's only conversation
I love it when you call
But you never call at all, whoa-oh
(He loves it when you call)
(He loves it when you call)
Remember me, I used to be
Your best time buddy that you couldn't wait to see
But gettin' old, it takes a toll
And hearts getting broken lead to people growin' cold
Oh I-I-I-I-I-I, I'm thinking were the kind that's got a tale on either side
Oh I-I-I-I-I-I, I'm gonna be the one who makes you stop and realize
You could have it all
Yeah, we should have it all
I love it when you call (He loves it when you call)
I love it when you call (He loves it when you call)
I love it when you call
But you never call at all
So what's the complication
It's only conversation
I love it when you call
But you never call at all, whoa-oh
(He loves it when you call)
(He loves it when you call)
Now I wonder where you've been
Yeah I wonder who you've seen
Now I hope you find your dream
When you do I really hope its all it seems
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
But you never call at all
Say what's the complication
It's only conversation
I love it when you call
But you never call at all, whoa!

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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
