LATINOAMERICA ES UN PUEBLO AL SUR DE EE.UU.
(Jorge González)

Para turistas gente curiosa,
es un sitio exótico para visitar
Es solo un lugar económico,
pero inadecuado para habitar
Les ofrecen Latinoamérica,
el Carnaval de Río y las Ruinas Aztecas
Gente sucia bailando en las calles,
Dispuesta a venderse por algun USA dolars
Nadie en el resto del planeta toma en serio
a este inmenso pueblo lleno de tristeza
Se sonríen cuando ven que tienen veintitantas banderitas
Cada cual más orgullosa que su soberanía
¡Que tontería! dividir es debilitar
Las potencias son los protectores
Que pruebas sus armas en nuestras guerrillas
Ya sean rojos o rayados
a la hora del final no hay diferencia
Invitan a nuestros líderes
a vender su alma al diablo verde
Inventan bonitas siglas
para que se sientan
un poco más importantes
Y el inocente pueblo de Latinoamérica
llorará si muere Ronald Reagan o la reina
Y le sigue paso a paso la vida a Carolina
Como si esa gente sufriera del subdesarrollo
¡Estamos en un hoyo! parece que en realidad

Latinoamérica es un pueblo al sur de Estados Unidos
Latinoamérica es un pueblo al sur de Estados Unidos

Para que se sientan en familia
Copiamos sus barrios y su estilo de vida
We try to talk in the Jet-Set languaje
Para que no nos crean incivilizados
Cuando visitamos sus ciudades
nos fichan y tratan como a delincuentes
Rusos, ingleses, gringos, franceses
Se ríen de nuestros novelescos directores
Somos un pueblito tan simpático
Que todos nos ayudan si se trata
de una guerra armar
Pero esa misma cantidad de oro la podrían dar
para encontrar la solución definitiva al hambre
Latinoamérica es grande
Debe aprender a decidir


Latinoamérica es un pueblo al sur de Estados Unidos
Latinoamérica es un pueblo al sur de Estados Unidos

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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”

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
