Planta tus pies como dos raíce'
Con ese tumbao' puede que me hechize'
Cuidao' que no te pise, mamita con cautela
Sacude la tela en el nombre de tu abuela

Mi canelita, mi azucarita, mi linda Sara
Mi tormentita huracanada, mi santa Clara
No vo' a dejar que te pise ninguna cosa rara
Vo' a prender las velas pa' que no te pase nada

Aquí no hay cuchillos ni pistola
Aquí hay muchas, muchas, muchas, muchas, mucha cacerola'
Aquí hay mucho sol, mucha playa, mucha ola
Aquí todo es melaza, nada de pandola

Te vo' a pintar la playa azul crayola
Fuímonos, que vámonos, que fuímonos en yola
Si no hay yola lo seguimos de rola
Pa' que, pa' que veas como flota tu cola

Cuando te vi me dio mucha cosquilla
Fue como tener a cuarenta hormiga'
Rascándome la barriga
Tú sabes, tú sabes, tú sabes que estás que estilla

Me llevaste el pantalón, tú ere' una pilla
Vamo' a embarrarno' en una tortilla
Vamo' a hacer tembleque mezclao' con natilla
Me como tu madera con to' y polilla

Ella eh-eh-eh
Ella eh-eh-ella
Ella eh-eh-eh
Ella eh-eh-ella

Quiero ver a toíta' la' jirafa'
Quiero que me pataleen a ver quien se zafa
Revolviendo la masa
Quiero cuatro taza' de zanahoria con calabaza

Tú me llevas volando por el campo
Despegao' del piso, caminando en zanco'
Con una canasta de patanco
Pa' caminarle por encima a los barco'

Hasta llegarle a tu cordillera
La que me sana de to', la curandera
Por ahí hay rumore'
De que tú ere' la suerte de to' los colore'

Un huerto repleto 'e frijole'
Mucho collar adornao' con caracole'
Tu nombre me salió en las tres tarjeta'
Me lo dijeron los cometas

Que me meta hasta el fondo sin chapaleta
Que me fuera en el viaje sin maleta
Para darle la vuelta completa
A to' el planeta en una colchoneta

Zapa, zapa, zapa, zapatea la suela
Vamo' a enroscar la arandela
Dame, dame, dame, dame un poco de Nutella
Contigo yo me voy sin na', a capella

Ella eh-eh-eh
Ella eh-eh-ella
Ella eh-eh-eh
Ella eh-eh-ella

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
