Woncha Take Me For A While

Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Something in the way she smiles that melted my heart
And that old familiar feeling started haunting me
There was something in the way she cried and I fell apart
So I reached out to touch her
She was meant for me, then she said

Woncha take me for a while
Woncha take me for a while
Need someone, need someone
To make me smile
(Lord ya know I'm going to need it)
Woncha take me for a while

Sunshine fades and so did I, outside in the rain
I needed someone to carry on and really care
My summer came with deep blue skies
When we met again and I reached out to feel her
Sitting next to me and she said

Woncha take me for a while
Woncha take me for a while
Need someone, need someone
To make me smile
(Yeah you know I do) 2nd time
Woncha take me for a while

Woncha take me for a while
Woncha take me for a while
Need someone, need someone
To make me smile
(Lord you know I need it)
Woncha take me for a while

Woncha take me for a while
Woncha take me for a while yeah
Woncha take me for a while baby yeah
Woncha take me for a while yeah yeah
Woncha take me for a while ah
Woncha take me for a while
Need someone, need someone

To make me smile
Lord ya know I need it now
Woncha take me for a while

Baby baby baby
Woncha take me for a while ah
Woncha take me for a while
I need someone, I need someone

To make me smile
You know I need it now
Woncha take me me for a while

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
