Oh no
Here comes that sun again
That means another day
Without you my friend
And it hurts me
To look into the mirror at myself
And it hurts even more
To have to be with somebody else
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
With so many people
To love in my life
Why do I worry
About one
But you put the "happy"
In my "ness"
You put the good times
Into my fun
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
And head for the door
We've tried the goodbye
So many days
We walk in the same direction
So that we could never stray
They say if you love somebody
Than you have got to set them free
But I would rather be locked to you
Than live in this pain and misery
They say time will
Make all this go away
But it's time that has taken my tomorrows
And turned them into yesterdays
And once again that rising sun is droppin' on down
And once again you my friend are nowhere to be found
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
And head for the door
You just walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Just walk on, walk on, turn and head for the door, just walk away.
Here comes that sun again

And it hurts me
To look into the mirror at myself

But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
With so many people
To love in my life
Why do I worry

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”

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."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
side note: this song is amazingly beautiful. ben harper is a lyrical genius.
i think this song can be taken from a different aspect than a breakup. i once almost lost a friend, and when i found this song, i started sobbing uncontrollably because it perfectly defined every possible emotion i was going through. dead seriously, i hated looking in a mirror. and i dreaded the sun coming up every morning. and i asked myself why it mattered because i had other friends. and of course i fought myself back saying how she made me so happy.
ben harper is a genius. i swear he reads minds. this is my absolute favorite song<3
From a guy/my perspective:
There were a few comments that said this song was for the people that got their hearts broken. However, for me I really felt it was a song for the heart-breakers. The heart-breakers that really care for their significant other, but they just have break up with them. It's a beautiful song, and I swear it could bring tears to my eyes. There is contradiction from what I'm saying when Ben Harper sings, "but i would rather be locked to you, than live in this pain and misery." I find this song very similiar to Death Cab for Cutie's - Tiny Vessels. This song gives me courage to end a relationship for both people, and they will eventually find happiness again. This is my very first comment =) and after viewing a few comments, I really admire the people on this website for avoiding negative criticisms or comments.
This song is for the people who want to be with someone but cannot (already in a relationship, distant love, impossible love...) So they know that their love is shared, they feel the same, but they cannot be together because of circumstances... It's a song about impossible love... a la Romeo & Juliette....
That is my interpretation but also knowing a bit of BH's life, that would not surprise me he wrote with this meaning... It is also a song I share with a dear friend... we love each other deeply... we are soul mates... but we cannot be together... it's very hard, when you know someone loves you as much as you love them, but life/timing/fate/commitment made that this person is with someone else, and as much as they want to be with you, they just cannot... they cannot change their life.... Walk away however can be also seen as they finally decided to walk away from what they had... to be with their friend... maybe more wishful thinking here...
This is probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard
I don't feel this song is necessarily about being "the dumped" person. I think its about someone who loves another with all of their heart and soul. However unfortunately they are just on different plains. Lost in translation so to speak. There is one person in the relationship who is constantly let down which results in that person doing the one thing they would never dream of doing...just walking away. Stating the obvious...you're damned if you do, damned if you don't is one of the main messages here. It is about two people who do try to remain friends but they keep finding one another only to see once again they are still are on different plains. It is indeed very beautiful but also its sad and painful. After hearing this I honestly can say the hurt part of me wishes I never found that one person I truly love..life would be a lot easier.
I agree with the song being beautiful...certainly sooths my soul...<br /> <br /> The only line that bothers me is<br /> <br /> "But you put the happy<br /> In my ness"<br /> <br /> Can someone really take away your "happy"<br /> maybe is it better said...<br /> they can add to the joy in your life :)<br /> <br /> and <br /> <br /> "the goodtimes in my fun"<br /> <br /> I simply smile and tear up to this song...<br /> <br /> the memories and experiences created are for always<br /> <br />
a perfect song for those "just be friends" break ups where the one who gets dumped can't 'just be friends'.
Im sure everyone who has been "dumped" before can relate to this song in every possible way, i know it helps me along when im getting over a break up. I find Ben Harper lyrics very meaningful and emotional, i rate him as a very high, talented musician.
Best lyric in any Ben Harper song: "But you put the happy In my ness"
IMHO
:-(
This song is a very personal song for me. Like most of you said to anyone who has ever been dumped this is a song for us. Esp. If you still have very strong feelings for this person, but she just doesnt feel the same. You just have to walk away. "so many people to love in my love why do i worry about one. but you put the happy in my ness, you put the good times in my fun" its like its crazy to still be in love with you when you arent feeling the same but we've had so many goodtimes i can't just let go like that.
this song means so much to me. it defines every feeling i have when i have to say goodbye. whether it be to love or friends or people that have touched you in your life, it just fits to every emotion im feeling and i can relate to it so much. just the pain of having to leave and how hard it can be. ben harper is god
This song just completely captures the pain that comes from breaking up but I also think that it kinda has some hope to it. I think he is trying to say that though it's hard, it has to be done. It's such a beautiful song with a ton of emotion. The live version is amazing. I agree with jmnifty4 that Ben Haper is god :)
