Melody of Love (Wanna Be Loved) [Classic Club Mix]

Donna Summer

I always stayed away from love
Afraid of what might might happen
'Til I thought I heard a sound above
Singing through my very own heart
Was a melody I'd never heard
Like birds singing loud to the sky

Never dreamed that true love would help me find my way
Didn't know how deep I'd fallen
Until you rescued you rescued me
When suddenly strings began
I heard the melody again and again and again
The sound of music flowing through my head
So rare, I'm walking on air

Melody of love, sing that song for me, yeah
I want to hear somebody sing
(Wanna be loved)
Melody of love, take me away

One lonely night you up and danced into my dreams
Baby, you set my heart on fire
So I've been burning and burning ever since, yeah
When suddenly strings began
I heard the melody again and again and again
The sound of trumpets flowing through my head
So rare, I'm walking on air

Melody of love, sing that song for me, yeah
I want to hear somebody sing
Melody of love, oh take me away

Melody of love, set me free, yeah
I want to hear somebody sing
Melody of love, oh take me away

Melody of love
Sing that song for me
I want to hear somebody sing
Melody of love
Oh, take me away, yeah

Melody of love
Oh, set me free, yeah
Somebody sing
Melody of love
Oh, take me away

Melody of love
Sing that song for me
I want to hear somebody sing
Melody of love

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran

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.
