This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Last night the willows stopped weeping
Everything sat hushed and still
And while my body lay sleeping
I dreamt of Rebecca DeVille
Now I wonder if she was a real girl
Did she die when I woke
I sleep straight through to tomorrow
And look for her till I go broke
I found myself by the highway
That I ride in on in my dreams
I met her while I was hitchhiking
From England to New Orleans
She rode shotgun but staid facing me
And I laid down in the back
I fell in love somewhere near Illinois
And she said she loved me right back
Anybody
Has anybody seen my little girlie round
I last saw her in New Orleans
I can't find her now
I stepped into the nearest twilight bar
To ask if anyone knew
The whereabouts of my Rebecca DeVille
The bartender said that he knew
He said that just a few weeks ago
She hitched a ride out west
With a man that he'd show her the big time
Said he would show he the best
He stopped the car two miles down the road
He put a gun to her head
And raped her of all that she ever had
When Rebecca was found she was dead
Anybody
Has anybody seen my little girlie round
I last saw her in New Orleans
I can't find her now
Anybody
Has anybody seen my little girlie round
I last saw her in New Orleans
I can't find her now
Low doesn't even begin to describe the shape that I am in
But you can dream in both directions, bring the past back again
So maybe I can find her before heaven goes and hides her
Hope can keep her from going away
Well I saw her again
It was a Sunday evening
She had flagged a ride
It was a Lincoln Continental
And she was on the passenger side
She had hold of the handle
I said Rebecca don't go
It's not what it seems
I said Rebecca don't go
It's not what it seems
Take my word darling
And drop out of this dream
She said "He's going to the Big City
And I'm going too, you know how that is with me"
I said stop...
Don't you get in the car
Don't you get in the car
'Cause I won't be coming back
If you get in the back
Don't you get in the car
Don't you get in the car
'Cause I won't be coming back
If you get in the back
My sweetheart
My sweetheart
I will just stay away
Six years or maybe eight
'Till I loose your memory
All that you've meant to me
'Cause I can't stand to see this
I can't stand to see this
I can't stand to see this
She got inside
Waved good-bye
And I watched the tail lights
Dance like candle light
And then they went out
Good-bye, my sweetheart
Good-bye, my sweetheart
Anybody
Has anybody seen my little girlie round
I last saw her in New Orleans
I can't find her now
Everything sat hushed and still
And while my body lay sleeping

Now I wonder if she was a real girl

And look for her till I go broke

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."

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is a pretty powerful song. It's about dreaming about a girl. Whether the girl is real or not, we are not sure, but she ran away. He is deeply in love with her and searching everywhere for her. Only to find out:
He stopped the car two miles down the road And he put a gun to her head And raped her of all that she ever had When Rebecca was found she was dead
Reading this again, i wonder if this is about someone Mason knows?
