Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
You can keep what you want
I want none of it
They're just bad memories
I don't want
In my sunshine (shine, shine)
You can pack it all up
And be gone
And be gone
If it matters to you
You can sell it all up
If the price fells right
I won't judge
If you get off your knees
You'll be out on the breeze
Take a lesson from me
Don't get stuck on a dream
I want none of it
They're just bad memories
I don't want
In my sunshine (shine, shine)
You can pack it all up
And be gone
And be gone
If it matters to you
You can sell it all up
If the price fells right
I won't judge
If you get off your knees
You'll be out on the breeze
Take a lesson from me
Don't get stuck on a dream

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"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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 think this is the simplest, yet most powerful song about a failed relationship ever written.
I think this song could be about many things. But I tend to agree with near fantastica. This song works better as that of the breakup of an intimate relationship. He is also saying she can sell off all their stuff and he doesn't want any of it. It would just bring him bad memories if he were to keep the stuff they both shared. If this song were not about the breakup of a marriage or something like that, some of the lines would not really make sense. But it's a beautiful song and in general it can apply to any situation where a person decides not to hold on to something that is negative... even if it means losing out on material things.
this song to me is about how someone can be so hung up on things then they forget how important intangibles can be.
about a relationship that is falling apart. this song is depressing but very beautiful as usual. music to fit my mood
Ouch, imagine your ex telling you this at the end of a relationship....cutting lyrics. beautifully razor sharp.
this song is wonderful ... really nostalgic feel, and simple but really powerful lyrics. reminds me of some of radioheads older things.... i love it.
i love this song. so many people on forums bitch about it and how boring it is. i love it. especially the bit where thom sings: 'don't get stuck on a dream. i still have no idea what it means. maybe Thom is doing that thing where he pretends he's someone else like electroneering or we suck young blood..... who knows! i love this song
k this songs pretty good, but obviously nowhere near there best... its about a relationship which has recently ended, and thom is fed up with it and depressed. he basically doesnt care and the line: "take a lesson from me, dont get stuck on a dream." means simply he really believed that he and his partner were meant for each other but that is obviously not the case
I love this song. Radiohead is so mellowing. The only place I've heard it played is woxy.com, which I highly reccomend.
It's also own the The War Child Album 'Help! A Day in the Life' - which is also a great album...
