Have you seen the way?
Smile hesitates
Favorite clothes are frayed

So tell me what's going on (Tell me what's going on)
Has it cost your glow? (Cost your glow?)
I just gotta know

I'm so sorry that, that I let you down
I just hope that I
Haven't lost you now
I'm so sorry that, that I let you down
I just hope that I
Haven't lost you now
We will remember

There's nothing left to say
The walls won't chip away
Blank eyes lie in wait

So tell me what's going on (So tell me what's going on)
Has it cost your glow? (Cost your glow?)
I just gotta know

I'm so sorry that, that I've let you down
I just hope that I
Haven't lost you now
I'm so sorry that, that I let you down
I just hope that I
Haven't lost you now
We will remember
What you did for me

I'm so sorry that, that I let you down
I just hope that I
Haven't lost you now

I'm so sorry that, that I let you down
I just hope that I
Haven't lost you now
I'm so sorry that, that I let you down
I just hope that I
Haven't lost you now
We will remember
What you did for me

    I apologize if I really screwed up these lyrics, but they are difficult to hear because some lines are quiet and the echo is somewhat distracting in the b-parts.

    Otherwise, this is a really cool song! It's actually kind of self-descriptive, so I'll let my interpretation of the lyrics be the lyrics themselves.

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.

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.
