All the young children on smack,
All the young children on crack.
They diserve something better,
Let's give them something back.

I don't believe that anyone is born bad,
I don't believe that anyone is born sad,
But some people are born... mad.

    Im my mind, this is a very powerful song about the youth today.

    You can interpret this song many ways.

    One way of looking at it is the obvious. I don't need to explain, do I?

    Next, you can see it as the music today. Alot of the people today are listening to alot of crap on Kiss FM and MTV, especially the young children, hence the lines "Alll the young children on smack, all the young children on crack." When he says,"They diserve something better, let's give them something back." He's saying that they diserve to listen to better music, not just what the media tells them to like and he wants to give them better music to listen too.

    The last few lines don't really have to do with the rest, yet they are my favorite lines in the whole song, so easy for me to relate to. Here's my thoughts on it, Kurt Cobain (my hero)and I were both diagnosed with Bi-Polar(Manic Depression) at age 8. I see this as how we were not born bad or sad, but we turned that way, but however we were born mad as in insane. We were born diffrerent and can not change that even if we tried.

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,

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.

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.
