And I know I will
Sing the sorrow tonight
And its just pain I fight
But I'll sing the sorrow tonight

Just like every night
Consumed by my pain
Devoured by my misery
Swallowed whole by sorrow
All the things I can't express
I can say it best
In the song I'm singing
In the moment I'm dying
To hear your voice
Would grant my wish
So I sing my song
My song of sorrow

And I know, oh I know I will
Sing the sorrow tonight
And although its the pain I fight
Its still the song of sorrow I'll sing tonight

Everybody knows this song
And everybody will sing along
One time or another
We all sing the sorrow
We all sing about pain
We all know how it is
To be like this
To be alone, to be unhappy
Maybe even suicidal
But not everyone knows
What its like, to feel everything at once
But we all, yea we all
Sing the sorrow

Oh, sing it with me
I don't wanna sing alone
My song wouldn't be heard
If I sang it alone
So join me, catch the chorus
As we all sing, sing the sorrow...

    I wonder if this has anything to do with AFI's record, sing the sorrow?

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.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.
