Son amigos. ¡Mire usted!
Perdiendo el tiempo.
¡Qué insensatez!
Es algo que a veces
no entiende la gente.
Tan buenos amigos
en el siglo XX.

El uno, con vena de artista,
es pintor surrealista,
pero hace dos años
que no pinta un cuadro,
sólo carteleras
de un cine malo.
El otro se ha puesto otro techo,
estudia Derecho,
y no es que sea torpe,
pero no da golpe.
¡No hay nada que hacer!
No le importa suspender.

Son amigos. ¡Mire usted!
Perdiendo el tiempo.
¡Qué insensatez!
Es algo que a veces
no entiende la gente.
Tan buenos amigos
en el siglo XX.

El uno le cuenta a su novia,
"El trabajo me agobia,
y he de quedarme
en mi casa pintando."
Lo que hace es quedar
y salir pitando.
El otro le pide a su padre
que mande dinero,
que cambian las leyes,
salen libros nuevos,
y todo lo gastan entre su amigo y él.

Son amigos. ¡Mire usted!
Perdiendo el tiempo.
¡Qué insensatez!
Es algo que a veces
no entiende la gente.
Tan buenos amigos
en el siglo XX.

El uno es un poco bohemio,
normal en su gremio.
Te cambia a Kandinsky
por un par de whiskeys,
y al propio Miró
por un ron con hielo.
El otro es más bien sibarita,
pero eso no evita
que vino y flamenco
le quiten el sueño.
Dormir...¡¿que mas da?!

Son amigos de verdad.
...amigos de verdad...
...amigos de verdad...

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
