Wreckless Love

Robert Plant

Now, red is urgent, green's a let off
And the score shows just another spin off
Orange dance and brown in old
Grey is weary, don't touch gold
In the fireworks, away from the heat
Behind closed doors, away from the street
No-one is listening, at least that's what you think
Cause a slow fuse burns, much faster than you think

Like the new look, all that matters
Through the last one, back in the shadows
Purple each one (leaf swam?), yellow
Silver his wound, and don't touch gold
Dance through the colored razzamatazz

Spin alone desert affairs
Reckless love is creeping on you
Now watch her ways (Watch out, reckless)
'Cause reckless love will drive you crazy
Will wear your mind out (The way you wind up)
Creeps up on you when you don't know It'll find out, ah

Reckless love, reckless love
Oh reckless love, reckless love Oh yeah
Waste with my heart to the top of a kiss
Tried my desire to take in at your ears
Breakin' my heart for it's all I own

Crazy with my heart
Ah come on, in these times I'm alone
Crazy with my heart
Other the arms that held me so tight
Crazy with my heart
Stuck in my mind with you in the night
Feelin' reckless, feelin' reckless, reckless love

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh

Ooh reckless, oh, reckless love, reckless love
Reckless love, reckless love Reckless love, reckless love
Reckless love, reckless love Burn, oh baby burn
Feel it creepin' up on you Reckless love, reckless love
Now, now, now Reckless love, oh, oh, yeah
Come on, come on, come on, come on Reckless, get it
Reckless love, reckless love Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yes

    Probably about love at first sight or just plain old getting caught in the moment and just rolling with it, if that makes any sense.

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,

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.

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.
