I found a way into your heart
would you let me in?
I need a thousand dollars
can I borrow it?
I wanna buy a train that goes
from where I am to wherever it is
that you're living at

I'm glad you have that ring that
I was promising you that I would give
when you wanted it
in this hotel bathroom
I am starving for you
and the music won't do
I'm still empty without you

this is my third record for your cd set
heard that you collect
hope you needed it
do you remember when Jay hit his dirty head
on a wooden chair
we were on the bed
I remember feeling how your stomach
pressed up against my leg
I could feel you laugh
we were ten, we were ten, we were ten

so where do we go from here
will we ever know?
to the hospital or the church steeple?
in this holy restroom
I can feel the lord move
He is cleaning my dirty wounds
so I'll come back clean for you
and I can see your brown hair
when I close my eyelids

I'm in love with something
and you look just like it

    Where did you all hear this song? Is it new? I am a huge fan but there are a lot of songs here i've never heard of and they are not on his first two albums.

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.

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.
