Do you know what it will do for my career?
[Kate]
You know what it will do for mine?

[Verse 1]
Face-to-face it’s perfect
You smile but you like a little nervous
I was late but now it feels worth it
On the surface you’re flawless
Textbook gorgeous
You’re just sitting there, dunno where to look
Face up at me I stare down at your book
Every now and then I rise me for a second
Checking one another then pretend that we’re not
You look down so I look away too
Face in the glass a reflection of you
Struggle not to care that you’re there
But I stare and you’re playing with your hair
Keep fiddling about with your iPod
My gosh, oh my god you’re fit
The nicest thing I’ve seen
You rub your cheek then you just went and touched those lips
I really wanna be those fingertips

[Chorus]
All I know is that you're so nice,
You're the nicest thing I've seen.
I wish that we could give it a go,
See if we could be something.

[Verse 2]
I start asking myself questions
I wonder what is your favourite restaurant
I wonder if you go to the gym, looks likely
Who’s your idol? Sienna or Knightly?
Hope you like rap and not rock
I hope you don’t buy crap when you shop
But I should stop getting carried away
I don’t even know you
But still I want to lift you and carry you away
Haven’t even spoken this is all from a look
I better stand the nonsense written in your book
Every time I look at your face it gets cuter
I feel like I suit ya and you suit me
Down to the ground
Bizarre and profound
The nicest thing I ever could have found
You stroke your hair then you just went and touched those lips
I really wanna be those fingertips

[Chorus]
All I know is that you're so nice,
You're the nicest thing I've seen.
I wish that we could give it a go,
See if we could be something.

[Verse 3]
I can sit here gazing
You look amazing
Cute little nose and the patter on your clothes
Doesn’t matter where it goes
I can sit here all day
Say, whatever we’ll do it your way
El snap out of it stop dreaming
I’m leaving, coming to my stop don’t believe it
It’s more memorable if we leave it
Don’t speak, so nice so I tell here with my eyes
Tell her what I think it’s my last chance
What I said with that last glance, I meant it
Journeys ended, step on to the platform
Doors close shut, it’s over but
Take one last short look
Through that window
Then go back to reality
You move away then you just went and touched those lips
But I’m never gonna be those fingertips

[Chorus]
All I know is that you're so nice,
You're the nicest thing I've seen.
I wish that we could give it a go,
See if we could be something.

    Nice song! Have you ever taken a server’s wine recommendation at a restaurant, and then wanted to know more about it after tasting it? <a href="personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/12/07/google-goggles-identify-pictures/"><strong>Google Goggles</strong></a> could be the answer to this quandary. If you have a smartphone, and it runs on Google Android, you could take a photo of the bottle and Google will search for it. Google Goggles technology uses text recognition, so if you wanted to know whether a payday lender had a good reputation, you could snap a photo of the sign on the building and get information about the company. This is handy, as a lot of payday lenders have similar names and can get easily confused.

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"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

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.

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.
