I've worn a lot of good leather out
Walkin' the floor over you
I've been down some white lines
Crossed over state lines
Thinkin' I might find somebody new
But with every step I've taken
I haven't shakened
That sweet memory of you
And as long as there's traces
I'll tie up the laces of my old heartbreak shoes
These heartbreak shoes can't walk away my blues
As long as they keep running back to you
And I know by the day that my days are through
I've walked a million miles in these heartbreak shoes
I've walked out on more good love
With you in the back of my mind
I've broken some true hearts
Playing the fools heart of one who could never resign
Herself to the fact that you've covered your tracks
That lead me back to you
And as long as I'm pineing
I'll keep on shining up these old heartbreak shoes
These heartbreak shoes can't walk away my blues
As long as they keep running back to you
And I know by the day that my days are through
I've walked a million miles in these heartbreak shoes
These heartbreak shoes can't walk away my blues
As long as they keep running back to you
And I know by the day that my days are through
I've walked a million miles in these heartbreak shoes
I've walked a million miles in these heartbreak shoes

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
