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.
Now you say you love me
You cried the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me
Out of my head
When you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember
All that you said
Told me love was through for being
Told me you were through with me
But now you say you love me
And just to prove you do
Come on and - cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Yeah, ooh-ooh-woo
You drove me, nearly drove me
Out of my head
When you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember
All that you said
Told me love was through for being
Told me you were through with me
But now you say you love me
And just to prove you do
Come on and - cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you-hoo-oh!
You cried the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me
Out of my head
When you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember
All that you said
Told me love was through for being
Told me you were through with me
But now you say you love me
And just to prove you do
Come on and - cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Yeah, ooh-ooh-woo
You drove me, nearly drove me
Out of my head
When you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember
All that you said
Told me love was through for being
Told me you were through with me
But now you say you love me
And just to prove you do
Come on and - cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you-hoo-oh!

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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 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."
this song, to me, is a bit of revenge. but just mental, "i cried a river over you"... feel what i felt. and maybe even, do you see what you lost? but perhaps, like most songs (especially writers like björk) it's never that simple.
I hate to break this to you, but this is not Björks song originally, this is actually, Ella Fitzgerald or something. And I think this song actually is as simple as it seems; some guy was unfaithful to a girl, and hur het a lot. And then, when he comes and wants her back she doesn't want anything to do with him, because he hurt her so much before.
.....well it's much better Justin Timberlake's
