Last Breath

Ballyhoo!

Stand beside myself with no words left to say,
And no matter how close I get you’re still six feet away
If you could show me the sun
I could accept this but I can’t forget
Cuz I know that you’re the one that made me who I am

[Chorus]
I need to have you there
Cuz it’s not the same, no it’s not the same
I need to have you there
Cuz it’s not the same, no it’s not the same

So tell me how loved you been
Is it like we hoped it would be (like we hoped it would be)
Can you see me staring back at you,
With my youth around my feet
And the eyes see you that day
It was too strong for you to carry on
As you lay and drift away
I lose my faith cuz there is no god

[Chorus]
I need to have you there
Cuz it’s not the same, no it’s not the same
I need to have you there
Cuz it’s not the same, no it’s not the same

Someone once told me that these arms could save a life or two
But it still kills me to know that I could not save you

[Chorus]
I need to have you there
Cuz it’s not the same, no it’s not the same
I need to have you there
Cuz it’s not the same, no it’s not the same

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.
