From their debut studio album - janesaddiction.com --- At a live show in 1986, Jane’s Addiction front man Perry Farrell cryptically introduced “Summertime Rolls” as “This song’s about getting laid on a waterbed…no…it’s about laying in a park…no, it’s not…yes, it is.” - He may have been doing drugs at the time.

R.E.M.'s eighth studio album - remhq.com --- This was the only R.E.M. song where the lyrics were written before the music, inspiring some healthy competition between Mike Mills and Peter Buck. Buck recalls in the liner notes for In Time: "Being competitive bastards that we are, Mike and I started auditioning chord changes and tunes for Michael. The two tunes of mine that Michael rejected eventually became 'Drive' and 'Try Not To Breathe.' Mike had a piano instrumental that he played to Michael. He listened once, nodded his head to hear it again, and on the second pass he sang the lyrics. It was 'Nightswimming,' exactly like the record we would record a year later. I was standing in the corner dumbfounded." - www.songfacts.com

"Moonlight Mile" came together during a loose session held at Jagger's Stargroves estate in the fall of 1970. Appropriately, recording didn't begin until after midnight, at which point Jagger says guitarist Keith Richards had already gone home, and bassist Bill Wyman wasn't present, leaving him to flesh out the arrangement with guitarist Mick Taylor and drummer Charlie Watts. "What makes 'Moonlight Mile' special is that it’s a song and a recording at once," mused Jagger. "All these things — the strange plinking piano, the tom-tommy mallets on the drums, the different guitars — they all came together to produce a feeling of vulnerability and loneliness, you know what I mean? I think the three of us finished recording the basic track around 6AM. The sun was coming up."

On October 4, 2024, Seattle-based trio Naked Giants will release their highly anticipated third album, Shine Away via Devil Duck Records. Today, the band is excited to share the album's lead single, "Apartment 3." Reflecting on the inspiration behind "Apartment 3," the band's vocalist/guitarist Grant Mullen shared, "This is one of the first songs we wrote for the album, shortly after finishing The Shadow in 2020. It captures that early-20s 'growing up' energy—searching for a new home, experiencing first-time living arrangements, and the influence of peak quarantine solitude."

The song is reportedly an ode to the close bond between Europe and America: "a relationship that's lasted across the centuries, through good and bad times, a "Love Song" between two continents." Its sound marked the beginning of a shift away from the band's early experimental phase towards a more accessible and commercial "pulsating electronic rock".
