This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
All the times you came to me and told me that you cared
I was dreaming of happy days that we both could share
Maybe I got too excited, and maybe you freaked out
Maybe I just have to call you up and scream and shout
All of my friends tell me that I ought to play it cool
No one likes too much attention from a desperate fool
Still I don't believe that I can keep it all inside
When I see your pretty face, I almost want to cry
I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
I remember the days when I was stronger than a wall
Try as anybody might, they couldn't move me at all
Now I fall to pieces when you softly call my name
Going up in smoke rings like a moth within your flame
I have lost all hope of being normal once again
I will be a slave to you until the bitter end
Even if it's a hundred years before you change your mind
I will be here waiting girl until the end of time
I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
I was dreaming of happy days that we both could share
Maybe I got too excited, and maybe you freaked out
Maybe I just have to call you up and scream and shout
All of my friends tell me that I ought to play it cool
No one likes too much attention from a desperate fool
Still I don't believe that I can keep it all inside
When I see your pretty face, I almost want to cry
I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
I remember the days when I was stronger than a wall
Try as anybody might, they couldn't move me at all
Now I fall to pieces when you softly call my name
Going up in smoke rings like a moth within your flame
I have lost all hope of being normal once again
I will be a slave to you until the bitter end
Even if it's a hundred years before you change your mind
I will be here waiting girl until the end of time
I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go
The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go

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

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.

Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
