Hey man, heard you were your brother's keeper
That can't be, judging by the way you treat her
Oh no, you've done it again
No use when you already know how it ends
Treat her better, boy
If having her at your side's something you enjoy
If having her in your life's really so important to you now
Hey man, who's been keeping brother?
Hey man, how old is your mother?
Oh no, you've done it again
No use when you already know how it ends
Treat her better, boy
If having her at your side's something you enjoy
If having her in your life's really so important to you now
Treat her better, boy
If having her at your side's something you enjoy
If having her in your life's really so important to you now
Treat her better, boy
If having her at your side's something you enjoy
If having her in your life's really so important to you now
Treat her better, boy
If having her at your side's something you enjoy
If having her in your life's really so important to you now
That can't be, judging by the way you treat her
Oh no, you've done it again
No use when you already know how it ends
Treat her better, boy
If having her at your side's something you enjoy
If having her in your life's really so important to you now
Hey man, who's been keeping brother?
Hey man, how old is your mother?
Oh no, you've done it again
No use when you already know how it ends
Treat her better, boy
If having her at your side's something you enjoy
If having her in your life's really so important to you now
Treat her better, boy
If having her at your side's something you enjoy
If having her in your life's really so important to you now
Treat her better, boy
If having her at your side's something you enjoy
If having her in your life's really so important to you now
Treat her better, boy
If having her at your side's something you enjoy
If having her in your life's really so important to you now

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
"This song's about being a real asshole to your girlfriend" - Mac in Buenos Aires.
When Mac was touring the festival circuit, he ended up hanging out with Kevin Parker and Kevin's gf Melody Prochet of Melody's Echo Chamber.
Mac has a very big personality and is super funny. Kevin is a bit uptight and was getting annoyed by Mac getting a lot of attention, particularly from his girlfriend Melody.
Anyway, Kevin sort of started being a dick, ignoring her, etc. being a little bitch. He ended up realizing it and came correct by apologizing and expressing his disappointment with himself. Everything is cool now.
I just totally made all of that up that up, btw , but hell this "Type" is called "My Opinion", so I can put whatever I want here.
It's actually about the time space aliens came down from UrAnus and opened a Jamaican Beef Pattie stand in Los Angeles. They were discovered to be aliens because everyone knows that Jamaicans fucking hate Los Angeles.
@hudsterboy well done sir but you shoulda stopped after "Everything is cool now."
Yeah, this song's probably about treating your girlfriend better but... "Hey man, heard you were your brother’s keeper That can’t be, judging by the way you treat her"
What if he's talking to a friend (let's call him Bob) and Bob acts like his brother's keeper (let's call his brother Gary). Bob is always up in Gary's shit, involved in his life, trying to take care of Gary by looking out for him by controlling his life. But Mac makes the point that there's no way Bob's really acting as Gary's keeper because Gary is transgender and wants to go by Gloria. If Bob was really Gloria's keeper he'd be looking out for Gloria for the woman she is, concerned with her needs. But instead he keeps insisting Gloria be GARY and be the man she was born as...
@goodhabit nailed it ^^
