Two hands on the wheel of my fate
Sweat running down my forehead
Cars passing me like we're in a race
I don't know what danger lies ahead

Cause I'm just a student driver
And I need your help to guide me
Cause on my own I'm nothing

Looks like the road ahead might be rough to take
Oh no, I've spun out of control
Good thing my passenger has a brake
And he knows exactly where to go

Cause I'm just a student driver
And I need your help to guide me
Cause on my own I'm nothing

Now my right wheel is wobbling off
And my stereo is blown
But because I'm a student driver
This car is not my own

Cause I'm just a student driver
And I need your help to guide me
Cause on my own I'm nothing

Cause I'm just a student driver
And I need your help to guide me
Cause on my own I'm nothing

Cause I'm just a student driver
And I need your help to guide me
Cause on my own I'm nothing

    Well, might as well comment on this one to, since I commented on almost all the others, lol! I like this song to, we are just like a student driver, we need some assistance (from God!) in this life that we are "driving", but when we mess up ("Now my right wheel is wobbling off, And my stereo is blown"), God is there is help ("This car is not my own"...this life is not my own, it's Gods'!). Anyways, that's my interpretation..also did you know that the title of thier CD (All Gas, no brake) means full speed ahead..I read that on thier website..lol!

    Sometimes we need god to help us, this was written to remind someone and everyone else that life as a christian can still be fun.

    its like. when youre driving with a driving instructor. and you do something stupid. but the instructor slams on his set of breaks.

    God is the driving instructor, so even when you do something super stupid, God will be there to pull you out of it.

    Sort of a new take on the "Jesus is my copilot" thing. Very clever and great instrumentally!

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.

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.

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.
