Eighteen Alive

A Radio with Guts

na na na na
na na na na...

she smokes
as she speeds steel railroad tracks
the setting sun behind her back
she's living in poetry now
could she live long enough to
write it all down?
she's looking for a new hometown

blonde hair
blue eyes
eighteen
alive
blonde hair
blue eyes
eighteen
new life

na na na na...

she cries and her mascara bleeds
black streaks creep cheeks
towards gravity
she's not too fond of being alone
she chose the train
for it's romantic tone
her heart is searching for a home

with her
blonde hair
blue eyes
eighteen
alive
blonde hair
blue eyes
eighteen
surprise...

na na na na...

no
she had no way of ever knowing
that she'd finally meet
her one and only
a brown haired boy with hazel eyes
with love so big it can't fit inside
no
he seldom finishes his bashful sentences
when he's lost in those tremendous eyes
he seldom finishes his bashful sentences
when he's lost in those tremendous eyes

he makes her glad that she's alive
she makes him feel like he'll survive
with her
blonde hair
blue eyes
eighteen
alive
blonde hair
blue eyes
eighteen
you're mine...
etc...

    This has got to be my favorite song off 'Beat Heart Sweet Stereo'. I love all the lyrics and the music to go along. I think it's just about a girl who was really depressed until she met this one boy who changed her life, all when she was 18.

    This song is one of my favorites too. I remember when I first heard it I couldn't stop listening to it.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
