Wasting My Time

Mest

I've waited I'm lonely
You faded I'm jaded
Trying to hold on to
The things that were once mine
There's too much time
Wasting my time

My mind goes blank I can't think
Of nothing but you
I've waited I'm lonely
You faded I'm jaded
There's too much time
Wasting my time

And it seems we're miles away (Miles away)
When will I see you again
And it seems that I don't want to stay (I don't want to stay)
When will I see you again

And are you thinking about me
Or do you want to be free
Just tell me and I will
Let you go
There's too much time
Wasting my time

And it seems we're miles away (Miles away)
When will I see you again
And it seems that I don't want to stay (I don't want to stay)
When will I see you again

There's too much time (And all I know)
I'm in a fucked state of mind (I can't let go)
there's too much time (And all I know)
I'm in a fucked state of mind (I can't let go)

And it seems we're miles away (Miles away)
When will I see you again
And it seems that I don't want to stay (I don't want to stay)
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
When will I see you again

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.

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,

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
