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.
Since, I was young, I knew I'd find you
But our love, was a song, sung by a dying swan
And in the night, you hear me calling
You hear me calling
And in your dreams, you see me falling, falling
Breathe in the light
I'll stay here in the shadow, oh
Waiting for a sign, as the tide grows
Higher and higher and higher
And when the nights are long
All those stars recall, your goodbye, your goodbye
And in the night, you'll hear me calling
You'll hear me calling
And in your dreams, you'll see us falling, falling
And in the night, you'll hear me calling
You'll hear me calling
And in your dreams, you'll see us falling, falling
Breathe in the light and say goodbye
Breathe in the light and say goodbye
But our love, was a song, sung by a dying swan
And in the night, you hear me calling
You hear me calling
And in your dreams, you see me falling, falling
Breathe in the light
I'll stay here in the shadow, oh
Waiting for a sign, as the tide grows
Higher and higher and higher
And when the nights are long
All those stars recall, your goodbye, your goodbye
And in the night, you'll hear me calling
You'll hear me calling
And in your dreams, you'll see us falling, falling
And in the night, you'll hear me calling
You'll hear me calling
And in your dreams, you'll see us falling, falling
Breathe in the light and say goodbye
Breathe in the light and say goodbye

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."
first, i'm pretty sure it says "in the night" in stead of "even now" (which would also make sense with the star theme as well as the mention of dreams).
and second, when i first saw oblivion and heard this song in the end credits, i didn't even like the song. but now that i own the soundtrack and can listen to it on headphones, i find myself listening to this song over and over. i can't stop. i love it. it's so beautiful.
anyway, i agree that it's based on the movie oblivion (which i can't really talk about without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it - so see it! lol) and i also think it's one of those songs that can be easily molded to fit the situation the listener is in. it can be about the death of a loved one, or it can be about a break up, but either way, i think it's definitely about the beauty of a relationship and looking back on it and being grateful for the time you shared even though it's over. beautiful :)
