This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I’m walking in, and greeted with a smile
I keep my bottle to my chest
I know you, and them and she is fine
I might offer her the rest
Scan the crowd
Every face in a quite familiar place
Tomorrow’s free and so are drinks
As far as I know
I hope, at least, in the end
You’re surrounded by your friends
And they all know, that you’re all right.
The things they do are really not so new
You're better off to just have a blast
Oh the shoulder that you got the last
Oh the comfort
So close to your home
That it hurts
Not a hundred yards from work
Everything all around
And still familiar
In the end, you’re surrounded by your friends
In the end, you’re surrounded by your friends
I hope that they heard what you spoke
For a hundred bowls of grow
What'd he say what he'd seen
Boy I'm afraid that
I hope at least in the end
You’re surrounded by your friends
They all know that you were right
You’re surrounded by your friends
In the end, you’re surrounded by your friends
I keep my bottle to my chest
I know you, and them and she is fine
I might offer her the rest
Scan the crowd
Every face in a quite familiar place
Tomorrow’s free and so are drinks
As far as I know
I hope, at least, in the end
You’re surrounded by your friends
And they all know, that you’re all right.
The things they do are really not so new
You're better off to just have a blast
Oh the shoulder that you got the last
Oh the comfort
So close to your home
That it hurts
Not a hundred yards from work
Everything all around
And still familiar
In the end, you’re surrounded by your friends
In the end, you’re surrounded by your friends
I hope that they heard what you spoke
For a hundred bowls of grow
What'd he say what he'd seen
Boy I'm afraid that
I hope at least in the end
You’re surrounded by your friends
They all know that you were right
You’re surrounded by your friends
In the end, you’re surrounded by your friends

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
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

“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I'd say this song is about someone who did something that his or her friends didn't agree with, for whatever reason, and it led to the friendships dissolving. The person still longs to have a relationship with his former friends, and the song suggests that maybe, in the end, they will understand.
"The things they do are really not so new, You're better off just to have a blast"
Forget what they think. Just do your own thing.
"So close to your home that it hurts Not a hundred yards from work Everything all around And still familiar"
Sounds like it's a small town. So even though this person has had to cut certain elements out of his or her life, they are still reminded of their loss every day.
"I hope, at least, in the end You're surrounded by your friends And they all know that you were right"
I think 'in the end' means in some sort of life after death where you'll meet up with these people and all the prejudices will be gone.
However, I think there is a second meaning to the line, "in the end, you're surrounded by your friends", which is more threatening. It seems to suggest that no matter what we do, what our friends think of us has a huge effect on our behaviour and how we live our lives, for better or worse.
I may be overthinking this.
