Did we settle this with riffs and words that meant the world to us? See how we run? Arent we two blind mice? Heres the words I never said since your teary dismay. See how you run as you cry from my driveway. Youve said what youve said now let me, let me go home. And youve done what youve done now let me, let me move on. Please let me go. Well, private school boys, we never gave a shit about anyone else. Well, private school boys, will kiss to thrill then kick till theres nothing left. Ill hold my breath, I will not speak of her again unless... she speaks about me first, I guess, but girls like her set traps for boys like me. Give me an inch, Ill take a mile. And yeah youre right, youre always right but right or wrong you loved me either way. Give me an inch, Ill take a mile. We were the liars, manipulative to reveal who cared less, who cried least, we both know that was me. We were the liars, manipulative to reveal who cared less, who cried least, we both know that was me. Hats off to the arguments that end, yeah youre right but so am I girl. Then fade to black, thats all we ever said. Hats off to the protocol of hug and kiss, fuck then sleep well. And are you on the phone? Because my signals engaged. With all cards down, well Im nothing more than that. A signal misread by your fucking ignorance. Yeah go on and blame her, is this all you have to argue? For her failure to see you as that fuckwit we all know. This is all your mistake. And are you electrified? While the other is false and a lie. Im done with this modern morality, I failed to kickstart my body alive, Im fucking drained of anything more real than a bed to lie in and another day to merely exist. Im tired of being dependable. You know this. Im sick of lost ability. You know this. Disguised in ignorance. Broken mid symphony. Blessed by the curse. You know what Ill do to you? You know this. We are alive! Im never coming back. Say you see why so! So long to the home we built in our heads held high but down and out. And so long to the family we were meant to raise your glass to the memories well never have again. So long to the home we built. So long to the family with this life changing call to arms. Im not an author who hides his true face on a learning curve that I needed to create. Its not a comfort and nor a disguise as you turned bearing that gestalt uh oh no. So leave now, take your learning curve and take that last drive with uh oh no. Welcome to the male inconsistence, the kosher resistance with the girl bearing uh oh no. Well there you go, heres the song that I promised be it one sided and remote. But at least I found a medium for it so Ill just say sorry its not face to face so you can take it or leave it and I... And Ill feel better when Im vomiting and disgraced by the memories of guilt. Ill feel better when the hangman says well punish you for this crime. Ill feel better when they bury me in a shallow grave thats unmarked. And Ill feel better when the next girl says fuck off and die alone.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
