Week Twenty-Nine: Porno for Pyros - "Tahitian Moon" - Good God's Urge


Week Twenty-Nine marks the fifteenth anniversary of my first, and only, time to see Jane's Addiction in concert at the Fair Park Coliseum on November 18, 1997 - sorry it's so difficult to see the ticket stub; it faded like crazy... I am also going throw in some Porno for Pyros this week since that was one of Perry's other noble efforts:


XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is celebrating today!! 

This was yet another tune that I was introduced to through the promo CD that was sent with my CMJ New Music Monthly magazine. This song totally rocks and is so packed with energy. However, if you have ever seen the video, then you probably will agree with me that Perry looks like a total goober in it. It's so difficult to look at him with that ridiculous haircut after seeing him for so many years in his super-cool dreads. I am also including my other favorite from this album (below the lyrics) called "100 Ways"...



My boat's capsized it's gonna sink to the bottom
I can see the lights on the shore getting farther away
I don't if I'll make home tonight
But I know I can swim under the Tahitian moon

I came out here tonight to look for my friend
I don't know if I'll ever get to see him again
I don't know if I'll make home tonight
But I know I can swim under the Tahitian moon
One last time under the Tahitian moon

The sea is a very easy place to disappear
To drift away, to fall asleep, or make your peace (make your peace)

I came out here tonight to look for my friend
I don't know if I'll ever get to see him again
I don't know if I'll make home tonight
But I know I can swim under the Tahitian moon
I can swim under the Tahitian moon
I can swim under the Tahitian moon
I can swim under the Tahitian moon
I can swim...
