Haven't you seen me sleepwalking 'cause I've been holding your hand
Haven't you noticed me drifting
Oh
Let me tell you I am

Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me that I'm not drowning
Oh
Let me tell you I am

Please
Please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you
Ooh

Why I am feeling so guilty
Why I am holding my breath
Worry about everyone but me and I just keep losing myself

Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me that I'm not drowning
Oh
Let me tell you I am

Please
Please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you

Won't you read my mind
Don't you make me like you
And I hear

Please
Please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you
With you
Ooh
Ooh

Haven't you noticed
I'm sleepwalking

    As someone who has a history of holding onto relationships too long, I really appreciate how this song deals with that tense place of knowing that a relationship should end but feeling guilty about it.

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,

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
