Stop! is a song by Jane’s Addiction released on their 1990 album, Ritual de lo Habitual. It reached number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for two non consecutive weeks. It was written in 1986. The song notably appears in the 2006 music video game Guitar Hero II for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 and DLC for the 2015 video game Rock Band 4.
Three Days is a song from Jane’s Addiction‘s 1990 album, Ritual de lo Habitual. It is a three-part song that meditates on death and rebirth.
The song was inspired by Xiola Blue, a friend of Perry Farrell, who came to Los Angeles, possibly around the time of her father’s funeral and spent three days with Farrell and his partner Casey Niccoli, in a “haze of sex and drugs”. Blue was also the muse behind Xiola, a song recorded by Farrell‘s first band Psi-Com. Xiola died aged 18 of a heroin overdose in New York City, June 1987. Three Days was written before her death.
A live version of the song appears on the band’s 1997 rarities compilation Kettle Whistle. This version appears on the soundtrack of Richard Kelly‘s 2007 film Southland Tales, which repeatedly quotes the “Shadows of the morning light” section of the lyrics and revolves around the final three days before the end of the world. The original version made an appearance in the 1992 film Singles, a movie about the alternative rock scene in the early 1990s. However, it was not included on the soundtrack.

Song by Jane’s Addiction Lyrics
“At this moment, you should be with us
Feeling like we do
Like you love to
But never will again
I miss you my dear, Ziola
I prepared the room tonight
With Christmas lights
A city of candles
Fresh”
Three days was the morning
My focus three days old
My head, it landed
To the sounds of cricket bows
I am proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
Three ways was the morning
Three lovers, in three ways
We knew when she landed
Three days she’d stay
I am a proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
We saw shadows of the morning light
The shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one
Shadows of the morning light
Shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one
True hunting is over
No herd to follow
Without game, men prey on each other
The family weakens by the bite we swallow, oh
True leaders gone
Of land and people
We choose no kin but adopted strangers
The family weakens by the length we travel, oj
All of us with wings, oh
All of us with wings, oh
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
Erotic Jesus lays with his Mary’s
Loves his Mary’s
Bits of puzzle
Fitting each other
All now with wings
Oh my Mary’s
Never wonder
Night is shelter
For nudity’s shiver
All now with wings
