STEPHAN EICHER:
Des Hauts, Des Bas

La pluie venait du nord
Le vent passait sous ma porte
Je comptais vivre fort
Et qu‘le diable m‘emporte
J‘allais à la fenêtre
Enroulé dans le drap
Je secouais la tête
J‘en écartais les bras

J‘avais des hauts
J‘avais des bas
J‘avais plus ou moins chaud
Et toute la vie devant moi
J‘avais des hauts
J‘avais des bas
Je crois qu‘j‘en voulais trop
J‘ai même eu c‘que j‘voulais pas

Je restais enfermé
Ou errais pendant les jours
Trop de chemins s‘ouvraient
Trop de questions en retour
J‘n‘avais pas tué mon père
Mais je ne me souvenais pas
Ce qu‘il me disait de faire
Où ce qu‘il ne disait pas

J‘avais des hauts
J‘avais des bas
J‘avais plus ou moins chaud
Et toute la vie devant moi
J‘avais des hauts
J‘avais des bas
Je crois qu‘j‘en voulais trop
J‘ai même eu c‘que j‘voulais pas

Chaque jour je m‘tenais prêt
Je guettais l‘heure et la page
Où les eaux s‘ouvriraient
Me laisserais un passage
L‘espoir me faisait vivre
L‘attente me rendait nerveux
Je trouvais dans les livres
De quoi patienter un peu

J‘avais des hauts
J‘avais des bas
J‘avais plus ou moins chaud
Et toute la vie devant moi
J‘avais des hauts
J‘avais des bas
Je crois qu‘j‘en voulais trop
J‘ai même eu c‘que j‘voulais pas

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
