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.
8-8-808 Mafia!

[Hook: Gucci Mane]
A nigga just front me 10 keys
I’mma run up on a nigga on feet
Gotta get back on my feet
Choppa knock a nigga off of his feet
Jump a nigga, stomp his ass with my feet
Red bottoms on the bottom of my cleats
The only nigga in a Phantom on feets
Touch me and you’ll be 6 feet deep
Feet!
[Verse 1: Gucci Mane]
Bougie ass club, they let a crook in this bitch
Take a deuce to a fo', I put my foot in this shit!
They say that Gucci Mane be flexin' unbelievable price
And I know that life is priceless, but I pay for your life
I think I’m Dirty Harry, nigga, when I got that .45
And I can never respect a man that can’t look me in my eyes
Just as stupid as these rappers if you believe the lies
You bring a knife to a gunfight, yo' ass wanna die!
I’m not a rapper, I’m a trapper in a rapper disguise
I put the feets on ya, leave a Reebok print on ya eye
I put the feets on the plug, cause his price is too high
I’m showin' my feet, Louis flip flops, I’m way in Dubai (it’s Gucci)
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Rocko]
Apply pressure, got they neck, I got my foot on it
(I got my foot on it)
V12 car, got my foot on it
Gucci cleats, on my feet
(On ya feet!)
Gooc and me, we run the streets
(We run the streets!)
Walk it like I talk it, play it how I got it
Ain’t a phony bone on me homie, bitch you can X-ray my toes
Good in e'er hood, we run the town
A Thousand niggas throwin' up B’s, 10 toes down
I ain’t jump off the porch, I leaped in the streets
Real street cats always land on they feet
Born a standup guy, that’s all I ever knew
You can tell a rich nigga just look at his shoes!
Tarantino!

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
