I wanna know.
What were you doin' with my friend
Out in the eve
Deep in the shady glen?
I saw you
Lyin' with him
Down in the snow
Letting him do
All of the things that he wants to.

What does he do?
What does he do to you that's so nice?
And how does it feel
When he takes your hand and kisses it twice?
Lying with you
Down in the snow
Letting him do
All of the things that he wants to.

(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I feel it)
So you laugh and play around.
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I see it)
You fall and hit the ground.
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I feel it)
You think I'll never know
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I see it)
Your lover in the snow.

Letting him fill you up with his wine.
Letting him flatter you with his line.
Letting him put you down on the snow.
Taking him in and letting me go.

(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(Oh) it hurts for me to see you so,
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
And I can't take you back no more,
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Lover in the snow
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I feel it)

I wanna know.
What were you doin' with my friend
Out in the eve
Deep in the shady glen?
I saw you
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I feel it)
You laugh and play around.
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I feel it)
You fall and hit the ground.
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I feel it)
The lover in the snow.

Letting him...

(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(Oh) it hurts for me to see you so,
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
And I can't take you back no more,
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Lover in the snow
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I feel it)
You laugh and play around.
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I feel it)
You fall and hit the ground.
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I feel it)
You think I'll never know
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I feel it)
Your lover in the snow.

    I just discovered this song, and it rocks. I love the way it focus' on Rivers voice (which is at its best here.) It's somehow angry, sad, and happy at the same time.

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”

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.
