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”
I'm watching you
You shall weep no more
It's your last breath of air
These walls won't keep them out
They'll keep you in
But who's going to protect you?
Who?
In every flower bed
In every marriage bed
I'll be with you
I'm watching you
You shall weep no more
It's your last breath of air
These walls won't keep them out
They'll keep you in
But who's going to protect you?
Who?
In every flower bed
In every marriage bed
I'll be with you
I'm watching 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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
This is about 2 Yugoslavian lovers being seperated due to war.
what do you think when you say Yugoslavian? You mean Serbs? I just ask because some Albanians were declared as Yugoslavian. And I don't agree with "colloquialism" because it is well known that Albanian policemen and soliders were on Kosovo in majority,and it is well known that Serbs escaped Kosovo from their guns and from guns of albanian terrorist organisatio UÄŒK. A few months ago Serbian police arrested circa 10 men who commited crimes on Kosovo on Serbs. They entered in central Serbia,where they were arrested, and they were protected on Kosovo. Serbs were sliced on pieces, whole families,it was like a game of psychopats.all in all, the only time the Serbs tried to do something to stop teror on Serbs was 1999. and we were attacked by NATO because of that. today Serbs on Kosovo live in ghetos,enclavas. <br /> You shall weep no more<br /> It's your last breath of air<br /> These walls won't keep them out<br /> They'll keep you in<br /> But who's going to protect you? -----it's about insecured people who are not shure that they will live trough another day, always watched and controled."THEM" it's somebody who want to get them inprisoned in their misery.<br /> and one more information: 320.000 people (160.000serbians,8.000 croats,8.000 gorans who are also victims of terror) moved from kosovo before 1998.
