Souvenirs
Last winter you came home
From an island of fire and stone
With fire to relight the life you lost
And stones to weigh out the heavy cost
And the damage
You put my hand to your heart
And ran right hrough your history
The souvenirs and lost luggage
The shipwrecks and the mysteries
And with your warm chest against my back
Whispered words and this growing crack
My sweet companion, you knew my name
You lit a candle and a moth came through the window
I put your hand to my heart
And ran right through my history
The souvenirs and lost luggage
The shipwrecks and the mysteries
"Your lips speak a joy
But your eyes tell a sorrow"
How dare you say that to me?
When you know, you know you'll be leaving tomorrow.
I keep these moments as souvenirs
You read my story

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
aslfalskhfdlaksjdhfl!! is all i have to report.
captain captain it feels like we're going down the wrong way up, or up the wrong way up, captain! man overboard.
This song is so beautiful.
I have some corrections: 2nd verse: You put your heart to my hand / And ran right through my history 3rd verse: ...a moth came in through the window 4th verse: I put my hand to your heart / And ran right through your history 6th verse: You don't know me and you will never know.
... and yes, this is a very beautiful song
I don't understand this song too much. But its definately a love song. Just to feel someone on your skin can take your breath away but is all it is physical?
"Your lips speak joy. But your eyes tell a sorrow" is not really telling each other what you mean. For the moment not eachother
"You don't know and you will never know." Can you ever really completely give yourself to a person?
Aww, and there's a live version where instead of "How dare you say that to me?/You don't know..." he says "When you know that I'll be leaving tomorrow"
I'm pretty sure he says:
"How dare you say that to me / When you know / When you know you'll be leaving tomorrow"
I've loved Patrick for several years now, and this song is by far one of the most gorgeous pieces by him I've ever heard. His voice has got this breathy texture that I can't quite explain-- it lets on something surreal, you know? It's a simple, true, heart-felt song that he sings with an undertone of passion. It's not put out there right away, but it's something felt rather than heard only in the slightest. I live in New York, and unfortunately never got a chance to see him when he promoted any of his albums. I'm waiting for his next one, though.. or perhaps I'll get to London soon after I graduate high school. I hope I do. I need to see this boy.
