This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
There's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time
What's her name?
I can't tell you
Ahh
I can't reveal her name until she's mine
What's her name?
I can't tell you
Ahh
I've tried to make her time and time again
Still we're introduced as nothing but friends

I'll do anything just to be your slave

Little Feat
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”
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 Yardbirds were the birth of metal and this has 3 songs and 0 posts
In all honesty they were.
they were the birth of led zeppelin via starting jimmy page's career, and led zeppelin was arguably metal. sensible enough.
It's Hard Rock. And Jimi Hendrix started that.
There is a difference.
Hard Rock > Heavy Metal
led zeppelin and black sabbath both created metal, although black sabbath were the first metal band.
jimi hendrix did not start hard rock!!!!!
In fact it is arguably true to state that The Kinks created the first heavy song with "You Really Got Me" (1964). The Yardbirds were the band that led to the development of a number of great guitarists that went on to develop hard rock/heavy metal music - Eric Clapton (Cream) - who in my view were the first hard rock band (in paralle to Hendrix); Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin which was the next generation of The Yardbirds and first true Heavy Metal Band (in parallel to Deep Purple) and Jeff Beck (Rod Steward / Faces, Jeff Beck Band, etc).
This song needs the correct lyrics listed as sung by Keith Relf:
There's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) I can't reveal her name until I've got her (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) Well, I've tried, oh yeh, time and time again We just are enemies - nothing but friends And there's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!)
Well, there's a certain chick I've been sweet on since I met her (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) I can't repeat her name until I get her (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) Well one day, I'm going to wake up and say "I'll do anything just to be your slave" And there's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!)
(awesome Eric Clapton solo)
Well, I've tried, yeh, time and time again We just are enemies - nothing but friends And there's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!)
There's a certain chick I've been sweet on since I found her (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) I can't reveal her name until I get her (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!) Well someday, yeh, time and time again We are just enemies and nothing but friends And there's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time (What's her name?) I can't tell you (No!)
I can't tell you (No!) I can't tell you (No!) I can't tell you
A great early British R'n'B song..
If you really liked Led Zeppelin you'd know they didn't like the term heavy metal
fuck you metal fags, the yardbirds were one of the bands that, all the 60's garage punk bands came from, so shut up..
Great song, who knows where the "birth" truly is, Link Raye has produced some incredibly heavy blues based songs, listen to the lost album "They're outta here says archie" I believe its older than kinks etc, the album was banned. The "metal" mentality to my knowledge is Black Sabbath, but you could argue convincingly that they were just another great rock and roll band of the time like Zep and that they turned into a metal band later. To me metal is Motorhead and Metallica and stuff like that, It is easily distinguished as what it is. Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Kinks, early Black Sabbath etc are not metal, these are all ROCK AND ROLL/BLUES based bands.
The Yardbirds are just way to bluesy to be considred metal at all. Maybe "Stroll On" is the closest thing you will get to metal from them, Heavy Rave Up Blues. Awesomeness.
