To best enjoy this album, sit 48 feet away from quality speakers.
Create a triangle with your head in those speakers.
Do not turn down your mids.
Clean your ears.
Sit on something with back support.
Wear loose fitting clothing.
Avoid overhead lighting.
Close your eyes.
To best understand the material,
Work part time.
Make less than $20,000 a year.
Grow your hair out.
Live under constant threat of eviction.
Wait until your bills arrive and pick envelopes before paying them.
Have a pregnancy scare.
Have highly personal and easily misunderstood goals.
Maintain a healthy body weight.
Always have a scheme or a poorly thought out plan.
Wake after nine but before noon.
Have roommates regardless of your age.
Be a success sexually but remember your failures.
Understand the world wasn�t made for you.
Understand your parents are just people and be nice unless they unmarry.
Understand sexual partners know you better than your friends and treat them warmly.
Have definite opinions but understand the world does not care.
Judge people on how they will feature in D&D campaign.
Love animals.
Do not treat retarded people like lepers.
Really don�t treat lepers like lepers.
Be kind to people.
Listen to Renee and Angela.
Do not be afraid of other people�s opinions.
Understand art has a context and don�t dismiss things outright.
Don�t resent people with money. don�t be married.
Do not have children.
Avoid hard drugs, they make you talk too loud and that�s annoying.
Understand people have the right to be tasteless.
Approach doors with confidence and not fear.
Attach yourself to people who are funny, distance yourself from uptight squares.
Embrace the meteor.
Try new things.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
