Walkin' 'Round In A Circle

Jessica Simpson

Life is a curve ball
Thrown with the wild arm
And if I'm going to swing in, I must get motivated
Instead of lying in my bed
I'm like a train wreck, trucking down a fast hill
Heartbreak is overrated
If I dry the tears now
I can get a head start out the door

I never loved the sun until the rain
I'll never get anywhere if I stay on a same place
Always afraid I'm (afraid I'm, afraid I'm...)

Gonna just get stuck in a dream
Where the answer's clear but no one knows it
It's like a toss up, I gotta get off here
'Cause I'm tired of emotions

I'm blue no more
Walkin' round in a circle
Deja vu no more
Walkin' round in a circle

Being redundant is never the one trick I ever want to master
One quirk can get me focused
'Cause the start of a circle is also the ending
One door has to close before the next can open
Gotta give my own life
My whole life is a given one sweet goal

I never loved the sun until the rain
I'll never get anywhere if I stay on a same place
Always afraid I'm (afraid I'm, afraid I'm...)

And I just get stuck in a dream
Where the answer's clear but no one knows it
It's like a toss up, I gotta get off here
'Cause I'm tired of emotions

I'm blue no more
Walkin' round in a circle
Deja vu no more
Walkin' round in a circle

How can I be my best, there's never fail
How can I ever find peace if I never yell
I gotta be stronger
I can't let cold wind blow me on a cold night
I follow the skyline and I am no longer

Stuck in a dream
Where the answer's clear but no one knows it
It's like a toss up, I gotta get off here
'Cause I'm tired of emotions

I'm blue no more
Walkin' round in a circle
Deja vu no more
Walkin' round in a circle

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,

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
