@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
the posters above me are trying too hard.
this song is most likely referring to Amo Bishop Roden. for those who don't know, David Koresh was the leader of the Waco cult. the track length is 1:49, and the Waco massacre happened on April 19th 1993 (or 4-19-93).
1969 was also the year that the use of CS gas was banned by the US government against foreign enemies. the same gas was used in the Waco massacre.
also, the church of satan was formed in 1969. this ties in with the total listening time of Geogaddi being 66 min and 6 sec... or the file size of all the tracks being 666MB (among many other occult references).
you're not right but you're not exactly wrong either.
a lot of people believe the CoS was founded on Walpurgisnacht, April 30 1966. supposedly this was when Satanism burst onto the public scene, when LaVey 'announced the creation of the CoS'. but actually, LaVey was simply teaching lectures on the subject. Edward Webber, a professional publicist, suggested he form a church and get a charter from the state of california. the 'CoS' got the charter much later in the year of 1966. LaVey later wrote 'the satanic bible' in 1969, and this became the... well, bible... of satanic philosophy (which is really all the 'religion' is). needless to say, 'the satanic bible' is what truly defined LaVey's satanic philosophy (there have been satanists far before LaVey, but the popular philosophy is defined by Lavey) and extended it to the mass consciousness. to keep up the whole mysterious story it is still said that the CoS was formed on Walpurgisnacht, April 30 1966 (I Anno Satanas)... but for anyone who truly knows, the actual church wasn't in full swing until 1969, when LaVey's philosophy could reach more than the lecture halls of california.
from the OOR interview:
'"1969 in the sunshine" (from: 1969). What memory is that? Woodstock? A yellowed picture of your parents? A collective memory that fits your music?' 'Mike: In that song it refers to a specific period in the history of a religious group, and at the same time the period in general, the hopefulness of a forward-thinking generation that wasn't aware of what was coming in their collective future.'
oh man..this song is so great to listen to...heard of boards of canada actually from this website called fat-pie.com..its amazing. oh and locust toybox is good too.. man that david firth dude is great... : )
love it
Actually the "church of satan' was formed in 1966.

this site sets a lot of the myths sorround LaVey straight. always read a little more about the subject than what the author trying to sell the book tells you.
and remember, just because LaVey liked the way the media called him the 'priest of the devils church', took the idea, and ran with it to gain noteriaty... doesn't mean that the 'church' was actually formed.
*** the track length is 4:19, not 1:49... sorry.
Yeah, I agree. LaVey was full of shit. By the way, the lyrics of BoC's remix of "Poppy Seed" have part of the same lyric in it. They go something like: "Edward says to me that there are approximately [2500?] to [3000?] cult organisations in the United States today .... there are millions of people ... involved in what we call destructive cults. ... Although not a follower of David Koresh, she is ... I don't think that somehow ... suicidal impulses."
