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.
123 Go
Got so Stoned that i weighted down another place
That i call home you don't understand you don't understand
Let's take to a government with a sensation where it ends
Let's burn it down and get this town its the status qou
And where bringing it down
Let's take control of another lie
Let's go its cool that's right another day down
And its wasted time you dont understand and this never ends
Let's stick it to the government what a waste and there still full of shit
Cause we burn it down and get out of this town
It's the Status Quo and where bringing it down
It's the Status Quo and where bringing it down
Lets bring her down and burn it down its the status qou
And where bringing it down
Another frustrating conversation if anything your gonna pay
And The Sensation Bringing it down is the Song I'm Singing to
It's The Status Quo and where Bringing it down
It's The Status Quo and where bringing it down
It's The Status Quo and where bringing it down
It's The Status Quo and where bringing it down
Got so Stoned that i weighted down another place
That i call home you don't understand you don't understand
Let's take to a government with a sensation where it ends
Let's burn it down and get this town its the status qou
And where bringing it down
Let's take control of another lie
Let's go its cool that's right another day down
And its wasted time you dont understand and this never ends
Let's stick it to the government what a waste and there still full of shit
Cause we burn it down and get out of this town
It's the Status Quo and where bringing it down
It's the Status Quo and where bringing it down
Lets bring her down and burn it down its the status qou
And where bringing it down
Another frustrating conversation if anything your gonna pay
And The Sensation Bringing it down is the Song I'm Singing to
It's The Status Quo and where Bringing it down
It's The Status Quo and where bringing it down
It's The Status Quo and where bringing it down
It's The Status Quo and where bringing it down

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
