Wind is cold alright back in Dallas
The neon light from the building lets
You know you're home
You'd go way back when if you wanted to be my friend or you'd call me I'd
Understand, it's true

I don't feel like I'm falling
No, I don't feel like I'm falling
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down
Just say "hello" to the ground

Ba ba ba ba ba ba

Wait there, I'll be right back
Down in Times Square it's a heart attack
All the feeling makes you feel so new
Trees fall and so do men
Even the walls start caving in and you feel like
There's no pretend for you

But I don't feel like I'm falling
No, I don't feel like I'm falling
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down
Just say "hello" to the ground

We could talk if days weren't so fast
And mistakes just leave it so unsure
Want to hold you like never before
'Case we're falling and I love you more and more

Do you feel like you're falling down?
Do you feel like you're falling down?
I don't feel like I'm falling, falling, falling down

I don't feel like I'm falling
No, I don't feel like I'm falling
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down
Just say "hello" to the ground

Ba ba ba ba ba ba

Do you feel like you're falling down?
Do you feel like you're falling down?
I don't feel like I'm falling, falling, falling down
Just say "hello" to the ground

I don't feel like I'm falling
No, I don't feel like I'm falling
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down
Just say "hello" to the ground

    For me...this song signifies so many things. On a personal level...I "discovered" Ben Kweller at a Dashboard Confessional concert and he's become one of my favorite people in the world. I've had the fortunate opportunity to see him play many, many times and his live shows keep getting better (especially now that he's touring with a band and not all by himself). This is my favorite BK song...I'm from Dallas so I identify with his description of Dallas being home. And I see him talking to some old friends that he has here maybe in the song. And it's like that for me coming home again. Um...Times Square is possibly my favorite place in the world. So I identify with that image too..."a heart attack"...But what really touches me about this song is the underlying emotion and giving up of being in love. You see him saying "Just say "hello" to the ground." And it gives the image of letting go while falling in love and that image of free falling (possibly out of control). But now on a silly level when he says "Wanna hold you like never before" I get shivers. Oh...and...babababababa! is the coolest lyrics ever!!

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."
