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.
Verse 1
I’ll never let you go
So never let me go
I will be a journey
and you will be my road
Down the stormy path
Love will never come to pass
You will be our anchor
All over the winds may blow
Chorus
And through the depths of high and low
Wherever you will go I’ll follow
To the end
Back again, you know
Won’t let you fall
Fall out of love
‘Cause together we’ll be holding on
‘Cause all we have is us
Won’t let you go
Go away again
Because I don’t need nothing at all
If I don’t have your love
Verse 2
I will dry your tears
Take away your fears
Let me be your shelter
Your heart is safe in here
So beautiful and pure
Nothing I would not endure
Ooh, love has got me blinded
I can see it all so clear
Chorus
and through the depths of high and low
Wherever you will I’ll follow
To the end
Back again you know
Won’t let you fall
Fall out of love
‘Cause together we’ll be holding on
‘Cause all we have is us
Won’t let you go
Go away again
Because I don’t need nothing at all
If I don’t have your love
Bridge
I’m down for you for whatever
Anything you’re going through
What’s mine is yours
Everything little thing I got you
Even when the winds of change come smashing down and crashing on you
Won’t let you fall
Fall out of love
‘Cause together we’ll be holding on
‘Cause all we have is us
Won’t let you go
Go away again
Because I don’t need nothing at all
If I don’t have your love
Don’t have your love…
If I don’t
Have your love…
No no…
Never let you go…
Let you go…
Let you fall…
Let you fall…
Fall out of love…
I’ll never let you go
So never let me go
I will be a journey
and you will be my road
Down the stormy path
Love will never come to pass
You will be our anchor
All over the winds may blow
Chorus
And through the depths of high and low
Wherever you will go I’ll follow
To the end
Back again, you know
Won’t let you fall
Fall out of love
‘Cause together we’ll be holding on
‘Cause all we have is us
Won’t let you go
Go away again
Because I don’t need nothing at all
If I don’t have your love
Verse 2
I will dry your tears
Take away your fears
Let me be your shelter
Your heart is safe in here
So beautiful and pure
Nothing I would not endure
Ooh, love has got me blinded
I can see it all so clear
Chorus
and through the depths of high and low
Wherever you will I’ll follow
To the end
Back again you know
Won’t let you fall
Fall out of love
‘Cause together we’ll be holding on
‘Cause all we have is us
Won’t let you go

Bridge
I’m down for you for whatever
Anything you’re going through
What’s mine is yours
Everything little thing I got you
Even when the winds of change come smashing down and crashing on you

Because I don’t need nothing at all
If I don’t have your love
Don’t have your love…
If I don’t
Have your love…
No no…
Never let you go…
Let you go…
Let you fall…
Let you fall…
Fall out of love…

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
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"
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
No one has commented on this song...ive never heard of it but i thought i would comment
it's from the movie "poseidon". she plays the boat singer in this movie. just watched it the other night with a guy i have a masssssssssssive crush on.
now this song will always remind me of him :)
i found this song when me and my boyfriend fell in love and now we've just broken up.
i miss the times when it felt like this song was written about us, and we were completely wrapped up in each others love, and nothing mattered, and there was no way i could imagine life without him.
