![]() For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "What it feels to descend from the mountain top. ![]() ![]() Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. 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. One note, where was this song released? Was it on a single? or an import version of the album? I didn't even know it existed til i decided to check lyrics online instead of just looking at the cd booklet. ![]() Well I don't think I care and if I hurt you then I'm sorry Maybe across the country - become a rockstarĪnd there was hope in me that I could take you there "I had these dreams that I might learn to play guitar To shake this hell from everything I touch You've got no shelter I'm a thousand miles away Several of the songs he wrote with SoCo revolve around the theme of being away from the person you love as well because of being on the road constantly. This song is probably based off of his real life. She wants him to focus on her instead of what he is doing, but he just can't or maybe he does but it never seems enough for her. His girlfriend doesn't like that he is on the road 24/7 and that he can't be with her all the time. It's blatantly obvious (As several have already states) that this song is about the friction that is caused by them being apart. I could be totally wrong, but here's my take. bascally, she is telling him straightup, she wont stick around much longer. This part is referring to how JFK cheated on his wife with marilyne monroe, and how the wife stayed there, yet wasted the "best years of her life". "To think the happy thoughts that leave the phone lines clear" shes not keeping in contact after he left him, and if she is. that she got over him so quickly and now has someone new. "Why a country needs a god and a woman needs a man" i think this line, is talking about why she needs someone else. as the president is known as someone important and powerful to someone, just as the other person in a relationship can be. I think his reference to the president, is the new boy in his ex's life. Hes deeply inlove and obsessed with her, but shes had enough, hence "this is the last straw" I think this song is about a guy who lost his girl because he cheated on her. ![]() its a shame it wont be on Everything In Transit, but i love it just the same! We watched that poor girl waste the best years of her life To think the happy thoughts that leave the phone lines clearĪ place that's safe from all the monsters I wrote your name on top, I knew you'd never look So I could stay warm when I was without youĪnd I scratched these words into a black notebook Why a country needs a god and a woman needs a man And there are some things I'll never understand ![]()
