One-two-three-four

Money or love
Which one are you doing it for?
Everybody has to make that choice sometime
You know something is wrong
I can tell the feeling is gone
Do you still remember when
We started long ago?

Wasn't it love that kept us all
Driving in a rented car?
Who could've known that endless road would
Ever have come this far?

Money or love
It's your decision where to draw the line
Everybody has a soul they
Can control or compromise
When did you start putting a price
Upon the pain in your heart?
When did I become the reason for
The sadness in your eyes?
You could've asked me anytime
I would've told you why
Maybe I might have changed your mind
But now it's too late to try goodbye

Often I have asked myself
Could I have been closer to you
When you needed someone else
Could a friend who really knew
You try help you decide

Money or love
Tell me what ya gonna do with your life?
Everybody needs a passion or they
Cash in while they can make up your mind
Before you realize you've run out of time
You need a reason why
You've got to justify to make your stand

You could've asked me anytime
I would've told you why
Maybe I might never change your mind
But now it's too late to try goodbye

Money or love

Wasn't it love that kept us all
Driving in a rented car?
Who could've known that endless road would
Ever have come this far?
Was it money or love? Money or love?
Was it money or love? Money or love?
Money or love? Money or love? Money or love?
Was it money or love? Was it
Money or love? Was it love?

Mountain Song
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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
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.
