The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Mi amor, tu quero tanto
why can't de gadi mis tanto dinero
Vesa me, amori, I mentua
I papi, I I I papi
I papi, I I I papi
I papi, I papi
I I I papi, I I I papi
What's up? Ok, yeah, uh huh
Once again, Mr. Smilez
Southstar, yeah, y'all know how we do
Check it, uh, uh, uh, uh
Right now I'm 'bout to bring y'all the funk (ok)
Windows down, let the beat bang out the trunk (let's go)
Roll it up, blow dirt, only smoke skunk
I'm the clean up hitter, so I ain't never gonna bunt
Don't front, I'm gonna keep doin' what I want (uh huh)
Got a couple dimes, but y'all never see me flaunt (nah)
Chicks be like South, ain't you ready for a wife?
Nah I just want to get brains, move on with life (haha)
I take girls on trips and shopping sprees
Romance 'em, before they drop to their knees (get down)
Type of cat, that don't even ice out your beat (bling)
And give you the chills, in a 100 degree heat
Drop the top down, just to feel the breeze
And take all y'all money, why y'all catchin' Z's
I'm gonna run up in spots, reppin' as D
And have the whole world sayin', I'm the best MC (that's right)
Yo, we gotta get that dough
Then we gotta get some more
I hope your ready to roll
And hey (hey), you know we gotta get paid
I hope you think that way
If so, it's time to roll
Uh, uh, uh, Smilez, uh, uh, yo, yo, yo
I went from the two door Ac, to the Lexus kid
From the Lee jeans, to the coochie stiffness
From bein' bad at class, people call me stupid
Now I get so much brain, I'm a honor student
y'all not ready, y'all MTV wannabes
Before 11, tryin' to get in the club for free
I see y'all, I sent love to all a y'all
Cause when I reppin' no fees, it's like I make head calls
I hate to ball, you know how that go, Benzo, or viente dos
That like damn is that y'all
Of course dog, run up in the club, toss broads
Dude I'm a hazard like "I'm a ball ta"
Little do' nigga, Bud Light sippa
Rolled up on 16's, get that outta here nigga
I'm about them figgas, G5 on the whippa
Get ready to roll, and let's go nigga
Yo, we gotta get that dough
Then we gotta get some more
I hope your ready to roll
And hey (hey), you know we gotta get paid
I hope you think that way
If so, it's time to roll
Yo, what you want to do spend my cheese?
What you want to go overseas?
Want to ride, right beside of me
In the Lex, or the Benz, or the drop Bentley (ha)
Well tell me, what you gonna do for me?
Ha, is that what you gonna do for me? (haha)
Well you better call 2 or 3
Of your freakest friends for Smilez & me
Yo, even as Smilez sittin' ok
I still run up in yo' place, and grab what's on your plate
Since the single drop niggaz like "you came and went"
Tryin' to get fat as fuck, belly over my waist
Now chicks want to holla at Smilez, cause they know
The neck, the wrist, the ankles so po' (uh huh)
Chain went from 18 inches to 34 (wow)
Atari niggas, can't match this X Box flow
And we livin' this dream, makin' this cream
Bless my team, and makin' sure we all gonna gleam (yeah)
Pullin' up in cars and rims, never seen
And when the sun hit chrome, it'll let off beams
And when we at a red light, it'll keep on spinnin' (watch)
We ain't balled out yet, it's just the beginnin' (uh huh)
Never fallin' off man, keep on spittin' (let's go)
Dakari, show them how the beat keep hittin'
Yo, we gotta get that dough
Then we gotta get some more
I hope your ready to roll
And hey (hey), you know we gotta get paid
I hope you think that way
If so, it's time to roll
Yo, we gotta get that dough
Then we gotta get some more
I hope your ready to roll
And hey (hey), you know we gotta get paid
I hope you think that way
If so, it's time to roll
Yeah, uh, ok, uh, let's go, uh, uh
Street ballers, uh, T-money, uh Dakari, uh, uh

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Yo La Tengo
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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
