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”
The room went silent when she walking by.
The type that never stops and talk to guys
She alone and you're not surprised
'Cause she ain't fit for no other man
So you approach as a gentlemen.
Hello ma'am, today you looking pretty damn elegant.
I think she get the message like a telegram
Imma be your cab or your yellow van
Tell me where, I'll take you where you wanna go.
To the top, she perfect oughta know
When she walking by the studio
You can see my hart beating through my clothes
When she ain't around time moving slow
I wanna be wherever you gone go
And I wonder if she know my name
She shine like she ain't know it raining
The game is the same as it was with the lame kids
You wanna hang with her every single day is funny
Your friends say you're whipped
Every late night you gotta go and dip
To pick her up and I've been sick of sluts
And this girl she ain't gonna give it up
She want me to put in work like school
And I'd be spitting she hit like a fool
But keep my cool, gotta be smooth
Eyes like Elmer's got me glued
These other dudes is not for you
I think Cupid musta shot you too
Girl I just wanna talk to you and I don't think you got a clue
When you are around it's so hard to move
So I wrote a couple bars for you
Girl I just wanna talk to you and I don't think you gotta clue.
I seen her at the dry cleaners
Like a goddess
When it's raining she looking like sunshine
I told her we could have a fun time
Let me just take you out to lunch
I'm a really nice guy
I ain't gonna hurt you
I ain't even bout to flirt too
'Cause I'm gonna be straight up with you
And don't bring no make-up with you
I just wanna chill
Kick it at the crib
Everytime we kiss it tickles on my lips
I love the way you looking at me
I just wanna see you looking happy
Grab me, pull me, tease me, fool me
Ain't gon let me get it at the movies
Why you sitting over a few seats
Come and move closer to me
I hope that you know that you got me
Here's my number girl you can call me
And if you guess it, don't stress
'Cause I ain't having no mess
She the only thing on my mind
I think about her all the time
And it's hard 'cause I'm on my grind
But I think Imma call her mine
Girl I just wanna talk to you
And I don't think you got a clue
When you are around it's so hard to move
So I wrote a couple bars for you
Girl I just wanna talk to you
And I don't think you got a clue
When you are around it's so hard to move
So I wrote a couple bars for you

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."

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,

Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
