Darlin' my frustration
It gets me, it gets me where it hurts me most
Like five rapid to the gut it's not so easy to see
And I've been gone far, far too long
To expect you not to change even a little bit
I guess I hope I'm still the kind of guy
Your needin' for your fool

'Cause life's a ball here on the road and these four wheels
Oh but something about the whole thing it doesn't feel real

Work my days for you
'Cause I love you girl, I don't want you
I need you and I can't see no other way

Darlin' I work my days for you
'Cause I love you girl, I don't want you
I need you and I can't see no other way

Oh this separation
It really gets you thinkin'
And all those used up clichés
Well they've worn enough in the wind
And I, wonder if you're half as innocent as you assured me
Or if you thank him for his time and just never call again

Oh oh
And after all the lights and shows and long hope lanes
It'd be you and me again
But until then

I work my days for you
'Cause I love you girl, I don't want you
I need you, I can't see no other way

Oh darlin' I work my days for you
'Cause I love you girl, I don't want you
I need you
And I can't see no other way

Oh live
I'm home
So love me
And I'm home babe
Oh so touch me

Yeah
I'm home
So kiss me
Like you do
'Cause you bet
Baby
That I'll do it to you

Oh babe, yeah baby
I want you babe
I'm, I'm home babe
So take me in your arms
Oh babe, baby, yeah
Love me like you do
Oh kiss me like you do
And baby you bet I'll do it for you
Oh no hold me like you do
Oh touch me like you do

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."

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.

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.
