The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Tu retrato sigue aquí como si nada
Exhibido en la pared de la memoria
Con el pelo de huracán que te adornaba
Y tu boca de humedad haciendo historia
Tu retrato tiene un sol que no aparece (aparece)
Y una sombra que te ataca por la izquierda
Y ese brillo en tus pupilas se agradecen
Tu retrato solo está pa' el que se acuerda
Y en el óleo de mi cielo en madrugada
Pinto estrellas con la luz de tu recuerdo
Y el insomnio de esta luna enamorada
Y este sol que está borracho de esperarte
Tu retrato es el canvas de un suspiro
Con el marco de tu olor por todas partes
Tu retrato es el velorio de una risa
El carmín de un rojo fucsia como herida
Tu retrato es un Van Gogh hecho deprisa
Y una línea de Miró que anda perdida
Tu retrato no es un cuadro que se ahorca (ahorca)
Ni una triste necedad para tenerte
Es lo poco que me queda y que me exhorta
Al usar estas pupilas para verte
Y en el óleo de mi cielo en madrugada
Pinto estrellas con la luz de tu recuerdo
Y el insomnio de esta luna enamorada
Y este sol que está borracho de esperarte
Tu retrato, tu retrato
Tu retrato es mi retrato hecho pedazos
Porque nunca he sido el mismo con tu ausencia
Es armar un crucigrama con retazos
Aunque la nostalgia pierda la paciencia
Y en el óleo de mi cielo en madrugada
Pinto estrellas con la luz de tu recuerdo
Y el insomnio de esta luna enamorada (enamorada)
Y este sol que está borracho de esperarte
Yo no sé cuando empezó lo terminado
O es mi pago de arancel con la nostalgia
Tu retrato
Exhibido en la pared de la memoria
Con el pelo de huracán que te adornaba
Y tu boca de humedad haciendo historia
Tu retrato tiene un sol que no aparece (aparece)
Y una sombra que te ataca por la izquierda
Y ese brillo en tus pupilas se agradecen
Tu retrato solo está pa' el que se acuerda
Y en el óleo de mi cielo en madrugada
Pinto estrellas con la luz de tu recuerdo
Y el insomnio de esta luna enamorada
Y este sol que está borracho de esperarte
Tu retrato es el canvas de un suspiro
Con el marco de tu olor por todas partes
Tu retrato es el velorio de una risa
El carmín de un rojo fucsia como herida
Tu retrato es un Van Gogh hecho deprisa
Y una línea de Miró que anda perdida
Tu retrato no es un cuadro que se ahorca (ahorca)
Ni una triste necedad para tenerte
Es lo poco que me queda y que me exhorta
Al usar estas pupilas para verte
Y en el óleo de mi cielo en madrugada
Pinto estrellas con la luz de tu recuerdo
Y el insomnio de esta luna enamorada
Y este sol que está borracho de esperarte
Tu retrato, tu retrato
Tu retrato es mi retrato hecho pedazos
Porque nunca he sido el mismo con tu ausencia
Es armar un crucigrama con retazos
Aunque la nostalgia pierda la paciencia
Y en el óleo de mi cielo en madrugada
Pinto estrellas con la luz de tu recuerdo

O es mi pago de arancel con la nostalgia
Tu retrato

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."
