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.
I've been waiting for the stars to come out
Dinner it was fine,
But I can't lie 'cause I've been waiting for ya
To come back to mine,
I've been, thinking of you 24/7, and 365
Now the girl for me Impanema
She's here right by my side
I got you now and I just want to
Show you how to play
Goosebumps on your body
Guide the way
(Chorus)
I want to go all night
Ain't no stoppin' 'til the breakin' of the dawn
I want to go inside every corner
Girl you really turn me on
I want to go
Knock knock
Our bodies to the beat
And when the morning comes
We're letting the sun shine
We'll stay in bed
You can't separate us
We fit together
I can feel you comin' closer
Dancin' in the dark (dancin' in the dark)
I touch your lips and kiss your shoulders
Send a letter to your heart
I can't explain to which extreme I'm feelin' you (feelin' you)
How many triple x dreams that's been starring you
I got you now and I just want to
Show you how to play
Goosebumps on your body
Guide the way
(Chorus)
I won't get nothing done of what I ought'a do,
It doesn't really matter to me
I-I-I-I am here with you
I can't explain to what degree I'm feelin' you
How many triple x dreams I've had starring you
But I got you now and I just want to show you how to play (show you how to play)
Goosebumps on your body
Guide the way
I want to go all night,
Ain't no stoppin' 'til the breakin' of the dawn (breakin' of the dawn),
I want to go inside every corner (every corner baby),
Girl you really turn me on
I want to go knock knock
Our bodies to the beat (knock knock to the beat)
And when the morning comes
We're letting the sun shine
Stay in bed,
You can't separate us
We fit together
I want to go all night
Ain't no stoppin' 'til the breakin' of the dawn
(There ain't no stopping 'til the breakin' of the dawn)
I want to go inside every corner (every corner every corner baby)
Girl you really turn me on
I want to go knock knock
Our bodies to the beat
And when the morning comes (when the morning comes)
We're letting the sun shine
Stay in bed
You can't separate us
We fit together
All night
I want to go all night
Can I go inside
How about inside
I want to go all night
Can I go all night
What about inside
Can I go inside
Dinner it was fine,
But I can't lie 'cause I've been waiting for ya
To come back to mine,
I've been, thinking of you 24/7, and 365
Now the girl for me Impanema
She's here right by my side
I got you now and I just want to
Show you how to play
Goosebumps on your body
Guide the way
(Chorus)
I want to go all night
Ain't no stoppin' 'til the breakin' of the dawn
I want to go inside every corner
Girl you really turn me on

And when the morning comes
We're letting the sun shine
We'll stay in bed
You can't separate us

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical

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.
