Rachael

Buffalo Tom

Rachael thelmy is not very sure
A little girl inside her uniform
But aren't you really just a penny whore?
Rachael tell me what I'm waiting for

Right now! right now! right now!
Right now! right now! right now!

Rachael tell me what I'm waiting for
About the school yards and the uniforms
Rachael tell me why your sky is red
And how you picked up all these crazy men

Right now! right now! right now!
Right now! right now! right now!

Rachael, Rachael

Rachael tell me what I'm waiting for
Rachael tell me what I'm waiting for

It's just a playground
It's just a let down
It's just a playground
It's just a let down
Rachael

But aren't you really just a penny whore?
Rachael tell me what I'm waiting for

Right now! right now! right now!
Right now! right now! right now!

Rachael, Rachael

Rachael tell me what I'm waiting for
Rachael tell me what I'm waiting for
Rachael tell me what I'm waiting for
Rachael tell me what I'm waiting for

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
