[Ben:] The sun is shining, the rain comes in
And i don't know what to do, no...
I don't know where i'm going or where i've been cos my mind is hooked on you.
Words escape me and tears come down and day slowly turns to night
And i think of all we could have been,
I gave up the fight.

[Ben:] And you don't
([All:] you don't),
Understand
([All:] understand),
Girl you make me all i am,
But i'm starting to see, just how hard it can be, on my own
And i'm sorry baby won't you come home?

[Ben:] You said that we'd been defeated
But oh i am so addicted
Your love is all i need to get by.
You told me that you and i would always be true
But you lied
And you're not in love and i don't know why
No, i don't know why

[Paul:] The days around me and years roll on
And i still don't think it's right
([All:] don't think it's right)
And i have so much love to give,
But i gave up the fight.

[Paul:] Now you don't
([All:] you don't),
Understand
([All:] understand),
Girl you made me all i am,
Now i've started to see, just how hard it could be, on my own
And i'm sorry baby won't you come home?

[Ben:] You said that we'd been defeated,
But oh i am so addicted,
Your love is all i need to get by.
You told me that you and i would always be true,
But you lied
And you're not in love and i don't know why.

[Paul:] No i can't make it alone
([Ben:] i don't know why)
And i can't be here without you in my life
And so i ask you, why, you still deny?

[Ben:] And you don't,
Understand,
Girl you made me all i am
But i'm starting to see, just how hard it can be, on my own
And i'm sorry baby won't you come home?

[All:] You said that we'd been defeated,
But oh i am so addicted,
Your love is all i need to get by.
You told me that you and i would always be true,
But you lied
And you're not in love and i don't know why.

[Ben:] No, i don't know why,
Just tell me why,
Please tell me why.

Mountain Song
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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
