The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea
On the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating
Now the boy was sliding up the hallway
He merged perfectly with the hallway,
He merged perfectly, in the mirro, r in the hallway

The boy looked at Johnny, Johnny wanted to run,
But the movie kept moving as planned
The boy took Johnny, he pushed him against the locker,
He drove it in, he drove it home, he drove it deep in
Johnny
The boy disappeared, Johnny's on his knees,
Started crashing his head against the locker,
Started crashing his head against the locker,
Started laughing hysterically.

When suddenly Johnny gets a feeling, he's being
Surrounded by
Horses, horses, horses, horses
Coming in in all directions
White, shining, silver, studs with their nose in flames,
He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses,
Horses, horses.

    From the movie The Tracey Fragments ((really awesome movie)) Another song from the Tracey Fragments soundtrack by Broken Social Scene is Needle In The Head, which is my favorite BSS song. :]

    This is actually a cover of the beginning of a Patti Smith song called "Land: Horses/Land of a Thousand Dances" from her album Horses. Her original song is over nine minutes long and awesome. BSS's cover is also awesome. I wish it were longer.

    I think it's about either rage or an orgasm gathering inside "Johnny," and the horses are either the rage or the orgasm manifesting itself.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
