Since what day has the sun been depressed
It still won't rise, even tomorrow
I cannot fall asleep so easy
For fear that words will over flow from me

WHERE IS THIS PLACE I AM NOW?

A dissatisfaction comes into the mind and lazily breathes
He glares inevitably hopeless and spits it out
I realized that it is pointless so I cut my hair one morning
In losing all of my freedom I am reborn

Show me how to get to anywhere
God of sandcastles so very white
We are so simple and ignorant
Please give us some candy
Because ours was spat out

The very, very blue sky, I overlook it now
Knowing that I can never fly
Such white, white wings are something that I have no need for
So undoubtedly brilliant
Having been dyed so grey, this collar begins to suit me better

A god so very mundane is filled with loathing for himself
He only has love of right-handed learning and desserts
He is content to live in the same town that he was born in
Even a crow would laugh at pleasures such as those

When it comes time to shed my collar
I will not move but to ask "who am I?"
Please give this hideous dog
A beautiful dream of hope
If it's true that you are "god"

Vastly, vastly the sky stretches, and a bird spreads his wings
I wish that I could fly as well
It's a very very big jump and I wish to be alone
If it is at all possible
That vagueness, I would still cling to it
Just how powerless am I like this

The very, very blue sky, I am overlooking it now
Knowing that I can never fly
Such white, white wings are something that I have no need for
So undoubtedly brilliant
Having been dyed this grey, this collar becomes a part of me
The birds are going to fly so soon
When is the time we can return home again

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.

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.
