Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Go..
We give you the unusual
A fourth referee
Wall slamming in
On the new opponent
51 men who are safe on a useless ship
Sailing on another wasted season of fair play
Maintaining the lead
This far into the hunting season
Speak fat man into the double barrel
Two seconds of golden opportunity
And you're out of the jam
Do it the legal way
When no one's looking
Big "Gee" (little "oh")
Go..
Don't let them get you down boys
Noses to the ground boys
Keep moving your automatic feet
Keep pushing your flimsy brothers
We give you the unusual
A fourth referee
Wall slamming in
On the new opponent
51 men who are safe on a useless ship
Sailing on another wasted season of fair play
Maintaining the lead
This far into the hunting season
Speak fat man into the double barrel
Two seconds of golden opportunity
And you're out of the jam
Do it the legal way
When no one's looking
Big "Gee" (little "oh")
Go..
Don't let them get you down boys
Noses to the ground boys
Keep moving your automatic feet
Keep pushing your flimsy brothers

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
A "Brick Soul Mascot" refers to someone who acts as a buffer between politicians and business leaders (i.e. "a fourth referee"). Their goal is to silently manipulate commerce and social evolution on a macro level to constantly tip the scales in their favor. This is a small group of men who basically hold the rest of us at gunpoint because they (more or less) determine all the most important rules and regulations of business and finance (and hence, they determine which governments get which loans from which central banks). Notice that he uses the number 51, which means "power and knowledge" in the Kabbalah.
He also talks about "hunting season" and "fair play". In the narrator's eyes, "fair play" basically means "If I can constantly trick you over and over again without you realizing it, then how is it wrong? Fair is fair..". He represents a group of predators who just keep tricking people over and over again.. year after year.. or "hunting season after hunting season" as they see it. You'll also notice he mentions "big Gee". This is a reference to the Masonic G, which is often shown in their "square and compass" logo. In short, the narrator is telling us that he's part of an elite secret society who rules the world.
When he says..
"don't let them get you down boys noses to the ground boys"
..he means "Don't let those who question your actions wear you down, Mr. Politician/Businessman. Just keep doing what I advise you to do (i.e. keep your noses to the ground), and everything will be fine."
