Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Sweet caress and tender mouth
Kissed her breast, and then he found, he found
Forty days and forty nights before this day
Said that she would always be the man until she found herself
You can't stop her now
Peace within or has she seen? (and you know she will find out)
She's gonna find it (she's not too far behind it)
Searching for the searing heat
Broke the glass and stole the fate that she didn't earn
For the dress she wore that night, to find her there, she found herself
If he could see his way to daylight
You can't stop her now
(Speak softer love)
(In my love)
(Speak softer now)
(Speak soft of love)
Kissed her breast, and then he found, he found
Forty days and forty nights before this day
Said that she would always be the man until she found herself
You can't stop her now
Peace within or has she seen? (and you know she will find out)
She's gonna find it (she's not too far behind it)
Searching for the searing heat
Broke the glass and stole the fate that she didn't earn
For the dress she wore that night, to find her there, she found herself
If he could see his way to daylight
You can't stop her now
(Speak softer love)
(In my love)
(Speak softer now)
(Speak soft of love)

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Light Up The Sky

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
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 recently read an online article from Esthero herself explaining what the song is about. She was a teenager at the time and imagined a young woman in a relationship with an older man who lavishes her with the finer things in life. He truly loves her and vice versa, but she doesn't know who she is yet and longs to be free to explore the world. Her lover knows he needs to let her go, but the bigger part of him wants to keep her all to himself. I take the chorus ("Ya can't stop her now!") as her fleeing from him in order to grow. She doesn't know where she's going or who she'll meet next, but she's on the move and made the first step towards freedom. It kind of reminds me of Mariah Carey's marriage and divorce from Tommy Mottola, but I doubt Esthero was influenced by that.
Sooo under rated! Saw her while I was living in Canada for a short stint! That was 20+ years ago and her music is still beautiufl and has aged like a fine wine. In general I like to say ...Beautiful words from a beautiful soul.
How she is not a bigger than she is, no idea. In a time when there is so much cr@p out there, I still think last E deserves more credit.
Love!
