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”
There’s this one hair on my head
And I’m not sure with it.. what to do
It has avoided the stylish hairdresser
And not succumb to cheap shampoo
And no matter how I crimp, bleach and dye
It cannot change… It will not compromise
It’s as stubborn as a concrete block
And far too clean to fully let me rock!
And It’s getting so damn long it’s almost down to my knees
And it pushes off good lovers when it blows in the breeze
And it’s getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
That no golden boy or girl can really take .. take control
I tried to cut it off for you, you found it ugly
And good lord! How it clashed with your shoes!
And the day we found it was made of wire
You took my bike and set my house on fire.
Now it’s getting so damn so long it’s almost down to my feet
And I bet before too long I’ll be tripping down the street
And it’s getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
And no bloody minded girl can really take.. take control
Since the day that I was born
It’s been growing like some wild safari horn
And they say I’ll lose it when I’m old and grey
But my old grandfather took a full head of hair to the grave
And it’s getting so damn long It’s trailing down the street
And the common kids make jokes and the art kids call the fashion police
And its getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
That no stu-stu-studio line can ever take control
And I’m not sure with it.. what to do
It has avoided the stylish hairdresser
And not succumb to cheap shampoo
And no matter how I crimp, bleach and dye
It cannot change… It will not compromise
It’s as stubborn as a concrete block
And far too clean to fully let me rock!
And It’s getting so damn long it’s almost down to my knees
And it pushes off good lovers when it blows in the breeze
And it’s getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
That no golden boy or girl can really take .. take control
I tried to cut it off for you, you found it ugly
And good lord! How it clashed with your shoes!
And the day we found it was made of wire
You took my bike and set my house on fire.
Now it’s getting so damn so long it’s almost down to my feet
And I bet before too long I’ll be tripping down the street
And it’s getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
And no bloody minded girl can really take.. take control
Since the day that I was born
It’s been growing like some wild safari horn
And they say I’ll lose it when I’m old and grey
But my old grandfather took a full head of hair to the grave
And it’s getting so damn long It’s trailing down the street
And the common kids make jokes and the art kids call the fashion police
And its getting so damn long it’s slipping out of my hold
That no stu-stu-studio line can ever take control

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
LALA!! FUN!
What is the deal with hair? I believe PAtrick Wolf has got a sort of obsesion for hair, his own hair. There is no live gig I have attended where he doesn't mention his hair. Not to mention he is always stroking and touching it. Then I found out about this song....It's funny!!
I always thought that the in this song the hair was a metaphor for him. "It will not Comprimise"?
then again, he is ALWAYS touching his hair...
This song was written for a compilation on the emotionality of hair in art. Patrick has no obsession with his hair, only unbridled talent.
This may sound stupid but what the hell You know the line. "stu-stu-studio line" ? does he mean ' l'oreal studio line '. because thats a laugh =)
