I'd like to say hello and welcome you
Good day that is my name
Come here and sit down I'm so glad you even really truly came

We can even go and take a walk or something like that or something like that. But first I need to introduce my what and introduce my when.
(let us sing) ah

It's a name I like to call it likes to say its nothing (it's nothing) It lives and breathes and it consists that it insists that it is something
(It's something) It never liked to speak or run or walk or sleep or eat (oh) It even thought that everybody tried to thought to take its seat
(Oh God)

Looking through glass eyes
Give it a few tries
Nothing goes ridding its time
Kill all its bad dreams
Wander by no things
Circles and spirals in mind

But we know that this song is not a bunch of noise that's so white. what's really truly what I say is just about a little sigh (ahhh) So come along I think I'm done I think we're done yes this is done. what's truly that I think about it and it thinks about a ton.
(Let us sing) ahh

Looking through glass eyes
Give it a few tries
Nothing goes ridding its time
Kill all its bad dreams
Wander by no things
Circles and spirals in mind

I thought you knew I knew but why and bye and why and bye and bye. I wanted you to know I thought you knew my why and bye and why.

(everyone loves a potato monkey)
(I stepped on gum over in fern gully)
Let us sing let us sing let us sing let us sing
(a sculpture you say? well...)
(Have you ever seen us sing? its in the middle of the morning skipper.)
(you have two scissors and the computer you can...)
Let us sing let us sing let us sing let us sing
(Birds and seeds and television cardboard houses x-ray vision, many little silly minds and things are getting lost at times, (I don't want to be bit by a spider) telephones and silly things periods of lots of question marks)

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
