This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Good morning to you, I hope you're feeling better baby
Thinking of me while you are far away
Counting the days until they set you free again
Writing this letter, hoping you're okay
Sent to the room you used to stay in every Sunday
The one that is warmed by sunshine everyday
And we'll get to know each other for a second time
And then you can tell me about your prison stay
Feels so good you're coming home soon
Its gonna be good to have you back again with me
Watching the laughter play around your eyes
Come up and fetch you, saved up for the train fare money
Kiss and make-up and it will be so nice
Feels so good you're coming home soon
Walking the way we used to walk
And it could be so nice
We're talking the way we used to talk
And it could be so nice
Its gonna be nice to have you back again with me
Watching the laughter play around your eyes
Come up and fetch you, saved up for the train fare money
Kiss and make-up and it will be so nice
Feels so good you're coming home soon
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Feels so good you're coming home soon
(Ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah ah)
Thinking of me while you are far away
Counting the days until they set you free again
Writing this letter, hoping you're okay
Sent to the room you used to stay in every Sunday
The one that is warmed by sunshine everyday
And we'll get to know each other for a second time
And then you can tell me about your prison stay
Feels so good you're coming home soon
Its gonna be good to have you back again with me
Watching the laughter play around your eyes
Come up and fetch you, saved up for the train fare money
Kiss and make-up and it will be so nice
Feels so good you're coming home soon
Walking the way we used to walk
And it could be so nice
We're talking the way we used to talk
And it could be so nice
Its gonna be nice to have you back again with me
Watching the laughter play around your eyes
Come up and fetch you, saved up for the train fare money
Kiss and make-up and it will be so nice
Feels so good you're coming home soon
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Feels so good you're coming home soon
(Ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah ah)

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
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.
Dude is psyched his jailbird honey's coming home.
I am intrigued by hoitsmith's take on this. I do have one ciomment, though. I believe an earlier "working" title for the song was Care of Cell 69 (from Odessey & Oracle liner notes)....and NO I didn't make this up...lol
Regardless, after having heard a few of these songs over the years I finally went and got the CD and WOW is about al I can say. O&O is a true hidden treasure. I can't believe how fresh this music sounds today!
I actually think that the singer is the man in jail, reading a letter from his girl.
"Care of" is a postage thing. C/O, Care Of. I used to work in a mail room. If you were addressing it, you would write the name of the prison, then "C/O Cell 44." Care Of Cell 44.
This song always makes me think of the movie "Con Air" with Nicholas Cage; in the movie he was imprisoned for killing two men that were attempting to rape his pregnant wife. So the woman is writing to the man, counting the days until they set him free again.
@Breedabie You are correct. It is a letter the protagonist is reading from his girlfriend.
Haha, I don't think I could have put the meaning of the song in better words than doubleohspool did.
It's about a guy who is estastic that his love is coming back from a stay in jail.
Anyway, about the band. The Zombies, I feel, are one of the most underrated bands of the '60s.
Colin Blunstone's vocals are stunning. I mean, he could be in a boy's choir. And suprisingly those same vocals fit perfectly in a "rock 'n roll" band. The combination is beautiful.
best chorus ever
Hoitsmith, you totally explained this song to me! That's really exciting to me, I'm serious. And it makes sense, since they have other literary references in their work. (Rose for Emily being a particularly obvious one.) The song's become a lot sweeter to me now.
glad i could have helped!
One of my favourite things about the song is the ambiguity of the gender roles. It could be anybody in that cell, and the Zombies totally leave it open to fit whatever jailbird occasion one might have.
I'm not sure if it's relevant, but in A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess, Alex stays in Cell 44 after killing a woman.
The song seems to have nothing to do with the book, though.
if it was jail, why would the narrator ask if he/she were feeling better ?
couldn't the "about your prison stay" line be just gently kidding ?
