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.
Zeppelin never left her
Never died or second guessed her, painted on her body
The stars would never hurt her
Never lie, never desert her
Painted on her body
She prayed to God when she was young
After the storm a calm would come above her
I thought that I could be the one to part the clouds before the sun above her
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Mother moves to town again
Holds her upside down again said it's nice to see her
Brendan now youâ??ve got to come sheâ??s where I get my smile from
Iâ??d like for you to meet her
Now Andrea was paint and pride a step behind oh how she tried
I loved her
And all she wore from head to floor was shades of green from our store
I loved her oh oh oh
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
And oh, oh, oh, all for me she cried
And oh, oh, oh, all for love
In retrospect wish I
Could have said three words that night
All me, all me, all me
Now, green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Never died or second guessed her, painted on her body
The stars would never hurt her
Never lie, never desert her
Painted on her body
She prayed to God when she was young
After the storm a calm would come above her
I thought that I could be the one to part the clouds before the sun above her
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Mother moves to town again
Holds her upside down again said it's nice to see her
Brendan now youâ??ve got to come sheâ??s where I get my smile from
Iâ??d like for you to meet her
Now Andrea was paint and pride a step behind oh how she tried
I loved her
And all she wore from head to floor was shades of green from our store
I loved her oh oh oh
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
And oh, oh, oh, all for me she cried
And oh, oh, oh, all for love
In retrospect wish I
Could have said three words that night
All me, all me, all me
Now, green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
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"
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 love the melody in this song and the way the words flow. its simply amazing.
This song Brendan actually wrote about a girl who he used to work with at Urban Outfitters named andrea and her favorite color is green and basically how that color always reminds him of her. I think its a cute story!
im just listening to this song for the first time on his myspace and it's just so beautiful. so so beautiful...
my favorite color is green and this is just a cute little story.
and the piano... i think the melody is perfect and it all just sways together.
it makes me think of lush fields near a pond and a girl with flowers in her hair and a boy looking adoringly after her.
I adore this song from start to finish. Wow.
"She prayed to God when she was young After the storm a calm would come above her I thought that I could be the one to part the clouds before the sun above her"
I LOVE THIS PART. He's saying he wanted to be the one who makes her happy pretty much.
This song is just about a boy adoring a girl who loves green.
