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.
ホラ 抱き合える喜びは過ぎ去りし
I never look back again
胸の中 腕の中 悲しみは 君と melt away
夢で会えたって 一人泣いたって
君は change your way 響かない 届かない
曖昧な手のひらで 踊る tango style
僕ならもう 全て溶けだした noon 絵にならない Monday
I wish if I could see the light of heaven
I don't know the color of sea, but there's no reason
運命線から other way それから憂いてる風とも get away
いつでも放たれたくとも 君は目の前で last smile
ただ見守ってるよな 君の style
Oh 戯れの遠目な loser
会いたい気持ちが go away 今でも泣きたくなるなら any way
いつかは旅立ちたくとも 君は向こう岸で last smile
暮れる想い出よ go away
相対性から wake up ただひたむきな明日への step up
今次第に生まれゆく イメージは global, I am feeling you away
永遠からなる loser 今だけに止まらないような lover
果てしなく続くステージは break down, I'm gonna find another way
それを追いやって 僕はホッとして
時は just as same in my dream, you call my name
Joke it like it you use to, babe
嘘に濡れたって 罪は消えない 終んない it's so heavy
I wish if I could see the light of heaven
I don't know the color of sea, but there's no reason
生命線から other way それから憂いてる夢とも get away
いつでも結ばれたくとも 君は目の前で last smile
ただ戸惑ってるよな 君の style
Oh 幼気で遠目な loser
会いたい気持ちが go away 今でも泣きたくなるなら any way
いつかは旅立ちたくとも 君は向こう岸で last smile
揺れる想い出よ go away
I wish if we could see the light of heaven
I don't know the color of sea, but there's no reason
I wish if we wear in the light of heaven
Don't go away, don't go away
運命線から other way それから憂いてる風とも get away
いつでも放たれたくとも 君は目の前で last smile
ただ見守ってるよな 君の style
Oh 戯れの遠目な loser
会いたい気持ちが go away 今でも泣きたくなるなら any way
いつかは旅立ちたくとも 君は向こう岸で last smile

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
