Beats! Bass!

The sound sinister
Administer ways to set the world ablaze
Tracks flamed
Untamed bass raps unchained
Overseer saw the skys turn grey
Doomsday tidal waves from the US to the UK

Back against the wall
I stand tall
Face the grim
Blow decibels way past known levels
My method of madness is this
Sadness, gladness
All emotions evoked
Thoughts provoked
Beats come cloaked and daggered
Torn and tattered
Sleep the dreams
Dreams get shattered
Witness sound transformed to matter
Bone, flesh and plasma
Bone, flesh and plasma
It's ironic

Beats! Bass!

Bass raps unchained
Overseer saw the skies turn grey
Doomsday tidal waves
Doomsday tidal waves

Attack tracks rap phantasm
Kicks and snares hit
Inflict back spasms
Necks cracked detached from spines
Vertebrates and backs
I paint with language
Place my verse on canvass

Sip the spirits
Lyrics cause wayward shifts to crash like the sirens
I stalk concrete jungles and prides like lions
Standing top Mount Zion
Trying to reach heaven without dying
I'm riding sound waves like Posiden
I clutch tight the trident
Bugles blare announcing his arrival
Overseer, overseeing
Carpe dium seize the day
Drum track echos twenty thousand leagues away
I fly Concorde cross Atlantic
Beats, bass chords cause panic
Horns forewarn the swarm
Melodies freeze planets
Hemispheres severed
Seas, trees shattered
Birds, bees scattered
Earth knocked off its axis
Forty-five degree slanted
Arcane old spells
Wizadry repells
Lock, stock two barrels and a handful of shells
Rebellions quelled
Oceans swell
Thoughts prevail
Heaven or Hell

Bass raps unchained
Overseer saw the skies turn grey
Doomsday tidal waves
Doomsday tidal waves

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.
