As we lay here tonight
Please forgive me girl if I say the future is not bright
But please take my hand and we'll have one last dance in the place where we first met eyes

Holy city zoo
I recall the name of the place where I first saw you
With your eyes so kind
And your smile so bright
I just wanted to take you home

Where you go I wanna go
What you do I wanna do
I'll be your Troy Donnahue
If you'll be my Sandra Dee

It's a trivial pursuit
But I know if I fall on my heart
I'll be with you
But please understand I am just a man
And I need you to take me home

We're together now
Wanna change my shoes so I feel like you somehow
Need to breathe your breathe and caress your dress
I'll be with you for quite some time

I'll take you where you wanna go
Tell me where
I wanna know
I will just go with the flow
As long as I'm there with you

Are the kids ok
Did they find the time to give the call today
But my hearts with yours
I am keeping score of the things that I have done wrong

Another funeral
All the people I know are beginning to fade away
And I have to say that at least today its beginning to get me down

To this day I'm lovin you
We know what we wanna do
I am your Troy Donnahue
And you are my Sandra Dee

Now I know you well
I still love you adore you I need you more than then
With your eyes still kind and your smile so bright
I still want to take you home

And I will do all that I can
You're my women I'm your man
And if we still don't have a plan
We'll listen to Thunderoad

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
