I Want You

Danko Jones

I'm gonna leave my situation in the morning
Why don't you jump into my car and we'll hit the road
I got no place I'm going no destination
When I leave I ain't never going home

Let's just drive into the sunset no expectations
And when we leave we tell nobody no one will know
It's bout time we got the hell out and made the distance
And with you riding shotgun I'm always home

When everybody said I couldn't
You said that I could

I wanna leave, I want out
I ain't confused I have no doubt
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out

I've grown tired of my place I ain't going nowhere
I think I made up my mind long time ago
So the question is are you coming with me?
I can do this better with you than all alone

'Cause when everybody said I couldn't
You said that I could

I wanna leave, I want out
I'm not confused I have no doubt
I wanna leave, I want out
No need to scream or jump and shout
I wanna leave, I want out
I'm not confused I have no doubt
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out

I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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,

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
