these places, they don't make me happy
and this food, no, it don't make me full
and the moon makes me sad for the love that we had
it was you, oh, you, who did me good

and these shows that I watch in the daytime
and these pages that I read in the night
and these girls that I see, well, they just remind me
it was you, oh, you, who did me good

you did me good
you did me good
you did me good
you did me good
yeah, you did me good
oh, did me good
you did me good
you did me good
when we stayed up til we saw the sun
yeah, you did me good

well, baby I've been thinking all about you
and I've been visiting with you each night in my dreams
and I know that you'll come back
cause I have seen that other man
and baby, he ain't doing you no good
so come back
oh, and do me good
do me good
do me good
do me some good
do me good
do me good
and we'll stay up til we see the sun
and do us some good

she's a good one when she's cleaning out her room
she won't like you, no, she loves me
I've seen trouble come my way
I've seen many a dark day
but I've seen the sun coming up in your face

and I know that you'll come back
cause I've seen that other man
and baby, baby, baby
he ain't doing you no good
so come back
and do me good
do me good
do me good
do me good
yeah, do me some good
do me good
do me good
oh, do me good
cause you did me good
you did me good
you did me good
yeah, you did me good
you did me good
you did me good
we can stay up til we see the sun
yeah, we'll stay up til we see the sun
like we stayed up til we saw the sun
when you did me good

    My stars, this songs breaks my heart so much. I can totally relate

    "and these shows that I watch in the daytime and these pages that I read in the night and these girls that I see, well, they just remind me it was you, oh, you, who did me good"

    Nothing and nobody can give him that feeling she (or he?)

    I can relate and most anyone who's ever lost and love can as well. This is the song that sold me on "Sun, Sun, Sun"

    as a dude that's been in this situation I have to say the part where blake speaks in spoken word

    "well, baby I've been thinking all about you and I've been visiting with you each night in my dreams and I know that you'll come back cause I have seen that other man and baby, he ain't doing you no good so come back"

    always gives me hope for my own hopeless situation! ha!

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

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.
