The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Reverend Bill Funderburk sings "He Cared That Much For Me"
Charles Surratt introduces his own composition "On Calvary For Me"
"The Joy of Knowing Jesus" is a song of pure delight featuring John Barbee
The pure tenor quality of the voice of Harold Montgomery
Gives a special interpretation to the grand old hymn "The Old Rugged Cross"
Chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave as they reveal their
Innermost selves with the outpouring of their hearts
On and on the songs roll and soon you are caught up
In the sermon in each rendition as you come to feel
The devotion and dedication that is poured forth
Suddenly, you know they are real, they mean it!
"Let your light so shine"
Could not be more aptly applied
As there shines a light from heaven on your heart
Through their singing
As an artist, Rhonda Montgomery
Exemplifies piano artistry
That's Rhonda! An artist!
This album can be the instrument to mend a broken heart
Or to straighten out your life through the sincere testimony
In the songs of The Revelaires
A must!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I love the archaic quality of the gospel album liner notes themselves. For one thing, "chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave" is such a mixed metaphor it's almost poetic somehow. Also, while anyone whose browsed the records at a thrift store knows that most albums of the 50's had puffed-up blurbs like this on the back cover, I think this is the only time I've heard of one going as far as to start telling you, in the second person even, how you are going to feel about the music.
The lyrics are the liner notes of a gospel record by the revelairres that Michael found in the studio.
lol, i love this song. its sad how artists today dont have a sence of humor. i wish there were more bands like R.E.M. Michael Stipe can make anything interesting.
I like this better than Chinese Brothers. It's a great track and to throw those words on top and belt them just as fervently, it's the best joke they ever told, because although the album cover blurbs are the ostensible target, the band and its pretensions are as well. A stroke of genius.
Agreed. I like Voice Of Harold much better than 7 Chinese Brothers.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
An early version of "7 Chinese Brothers" which is obviously with different lyrics.
Ah, the glory days of R.E.M., when Bill Berry was still in the band, Michael still had hair and didn't put paint on his face, and between making enigmatic, instant-classic albums, they still had a goofy sense of humor.
Gotta love this one. Michael's improvised diction on this is too funny. For one thing, I love how he manages to get in the word "applied" and make it fit.
Hahaha, Michael Stipe cracks me up! I love this song.
The lyrics are the credits to an LP named "The Joy of Knowing Jesus" by a band named the Revelaires. The whole thing was a big joke, poking fun at the people who say all rock music is satanic in nature, which was quite common at the time. The cover to this LP shows it was definitely made in the 1970's. They were predominantly African-American. The title track is pretty typical for 1970s gospel. Elmo J. Fagg really sounds more like the name of a porn star than a gospel singer.
