All you cares
Now they seem
Oh so far away
All your fears
I fear I once shared
Now I know

There's a future
For all of us
Not so long ago
I was so scared
You seemed so sad
I could see

Through your twisted smile
So unsure
Always confused
Pale blue eyes
Gazing down
From your ivory tower
Through the haze

All broken and bruised
Then: out of the blue
Love came rushing in
Out of the sky
Came the sun
Out of left field
Came a lucky day
Out of the blue
No more pain
I don't mind
If it's only
A passing craze
Throwaway lines
Often ring true
If I were you

I would stay
For a little while
I you were me
Would you walk out
In style?

    The subliminal beginning - that double beat that keeps pulsing harder - until the song ignites and lifts off into the atmosphere... [something about someone falling in love - or just getting obsessed momentarily (?)] The spiraling end - the crazy upward soaring sound - like getting shot out of a vortex - out of the blue and into the stratosphere - out of the blue and into the absolute freedom of space - liberation from gravity - it sounds like a piece of rocket burning up in mid-flight - or the sound of a passing comet...

    I LOVE Roxy Music. Greatest Band ever. Yup. It's true.

Mountain Song
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."
