It's been awhile
And still I remember,
The smile you kept for me

Lately I have missed you,
And It hits me in the morning,
When I'm cold

(I have nothing to say)
But I can't change a thing,
No I can't change a thing

If I knew, what I know
And If I said, what I meant

When all the big dogs get to grow their own
Everybody gotta' call some place home

(I have nothing to say)
Memories.....In October Grey

I can't change a thing,
I can't change a thing,
I can't change anything
I can't change.....a thing

(solo)
Ohhhhhhhh...Wrapped in October Grey.......

Now I have learned, not to trust
I have to watch everything I feel

You'll never know,
And I'll never let you see,
What I've done, what's become of me

(I have no words to say)
Memories.....
Memories of mother's day

I can't change a thing,
Oh I can't change a thing,
I just can't change anything,
I can't change......a thing

    This song really needs to be in a movie, because I can just see it as a great opening song for a character. I don't know why I say that. But its a great song.

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,

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
