Everyday is Saturday night
But I can't wait for Sunday morning, Sunday morning
Oh, oh

It's the same thing, back in the cold
People know, people come and go, it bores me, same thing
Seems like I'm trapped in the world where the servants, they serve time
Time waits on no man, so when people fall like me, I

Everyday is Saturday night
But I can't wait for Sunday morning, Sunday morning
Everyday is Saturday night
But I can't wait for Sunday morning, Sunday morning

Walking down blocks, pictures don't stop, pictures inside my dome
This is not me, I'm just afraid to be here all alone
Hurry up, wait, quit it, don't stop, I'm drowning in the self
This is not me, where is my revolution?
But if you want to own me, I am not concerned
But if you follow me, I know that I can learn
You might be the greatest thing I've ever seen
All I know is music, all, all I've ever known

Everyday is Saturday night
But I can't wait for Sunday morning, Sunday morning
Everyday is Saturday night
But I can't wait for Sunday morning, Sunday morning

(Let's go)
(Let's go)
(Let's go)
(Let's go)

Everyday is Saturday night
But I can't wait for Sunday morning, Sunday morning
Everyday is Saturday night
But I can't wait for Sunday morning, Sunday morning
Everyday is Saturday night
But I can't wait for Sunday

    Here's what he said about it in an inteview:

    In the glitchy, Gorillaz-style track "Sunday Morning," k-os reveals that he does his share of partying, but the outspoken bachelor still looks back fondly at a time when Sunday mornings meant something more.

    "Sunday morning was always about church and food and family. Then I moved down to Toronto and Sunday morning became about Advil gelcaps," he says with a laugh. "This song is about an individual who realizes how sacred Sunday morning used to be and he can't wait until Sunday morning is something that helps him out instead of a day of rest. My parents have been married for over 40 years and I will eventually become like them and have 10 kids and do my thing, but until then, everyday is Saturday night."

    Yeah, I agree. I don't really get what he's trying to say is so special about Sunday morning... Maybe I'm missing something. Unless he's referring to church, which I doubt.

    hey redstar3313, thanks for that! I was wondering what it was about. That's awesome. Now I like this song even more. I love k-os, his songs seem personal and real, and musically innovative.

    Beat me to the words redstar. I heard it on Q101, it sounded like a great song so I got it off of Itunes.

    Basically, I agree w/ redstar.

    But from a perspective of if you hadn't read the interview, this is what I would say.

    Every day is saturday night, go out, party, have fun. Almost ignoring the fact that life and time continues around him. He says,"It's the same thing, back in the cold People know people come and go It bores me" Sounds like to me hes tired of the party life now, and he can't wait till Sunday morning. Assuming he's Christian (w/o reading the interview), its a chance at redemption, to start again, but I can see it's an empty promise, he drifts back into the party scene. He goes back for the music, for a certain women maybe, but most importantly because he can't stop. There's something he feels he's missing something, and the hollow Saturday scene seems to keep him around for the time.

    has anyone seen the video to this song? I want to know what it means.

    Theres this big dance where he is singing but its just african american people. Then some caucasian guy puts a mike near the band thats hooked up to a speaker in the basement where a bunch of people are dancing-but they are all caucasian.

    am i missing some deep profound signs with this?

    For me, it's about the anticipation of waking up to a new day in the morning with opportunities to do something more than just party and live in excess (alcohol, etc). He acknowledges how empty the Saturday nights are, but he's surrounded by the excess and doesn't want to be alone (as he states in the chorus). When following morning comes around (on Sunday), he's no longer in that environment and feels a bit more excited.

    At college, I love waking up on Sunday mornings, it's relatively peaceful. The only other souls awake are the maintenance men and the small animals (squirrels and birds).

    CourageousInsanity, if I remember correctly, he does not practice a particular religion, but he has explored and studied many of them, and while growing up, his parents practiced Christianity.

    There's more info on his website about his songs.

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Album art
Cajun Girl
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”

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
