I was sitting at the bar, talking to a lady friend,
Sipping on a glass of wine and making time, - you know what I mean.
Then my favorite record played and I turned to watch the crowd,
But one dancin' lady made me spill my wine.
She looked so wild and she looked so free and she moved so temptingly,
All the boys had just one question on their minds;

Can she do it like she dances?
Can she do it like she dances?
Oh, the way she move, I'd like to rendezvous her,
Find if she can really do it like she dances.

(Oo, oo, oo)

As she moved around the floor I kept movin' 'round the bar,
Almost got into a fight to keep her in sight.
When the dance was finally through, found myself exhausted too,
And I knew that I'd be wondering all night:

Can she do it like she dances?
Can she do it like she dances?
Oh, the way she move, I'd like to rendezvous,
And find if she can really do it like she dances.

Some girls get off by putting on a show,
But when you get them home the show is over.
Well, on the dance floor there's no move they don't know,
But you get her alone and her body turns to stone.

So I finished up my drink and was heading for the door,
When I saw that lady giving me the eye.
Well, we danced the night away and I'm seeing her today
And I hope that I will find out by on by

Can she do it like she dances?
I said, can she do it like she dances?
(Can she do it like she dances?)
Oh, the way she move, I'd like to rendezvous,
And find if she can really do it like she dances.

Can she do it like she dances?
I wanna know if she can do it,
I wanna know if she can do it,
I wanna know if she can do it just like she dances.

Oh, come on, baby, dance with me one time,
Dance with me two times,
Well, if you dance we can do it all over the floor!
(Can she do it like she dances?)
(Can she do it like she dances?)
(Can she do it?)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons 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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
