Pokemon

Abertura

I wanna be
the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokmon to understand
The power that's inside

Pokemon!
Gotta catch 'em all
(It's you and me)
I know its my destiny
Pokemon
Oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon!
Gotta catch 'em all
(A heart so true)
Our courage will pull us through
You'll teach me and
I'll teach you
Pokemon
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all
Yeah

Every challenge along the way
With courage I enface
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place

Come with me the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

Pokemon!
Gotta catch 'em all
(It's you and me)
I know its my destiny
Pokemon
Oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon!
Gotta catch 'em all
(A heart so true)
Our courage will pull us through
You'll teach me and I'll teach you
Pokemon
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all
Pokemon!

(solo then chorus repeats)

    the funny thing is in the Japanese version of the show, Ash didn't want to "catch 'em all", he just wanted to catch the pokemon he wanted; the whole "You gotta catch 'em all!" thing is a US/4Kids-made marketing ploy :P

    Anyways, it is a catchy song, but the JP theme is so much better, musically.

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.

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
