Huh yeah, Rule baby
Huh Mary J. Blige, Murder Inc.
Smile

It's just those rainy days
Spent a lifetime tryin' to wash away
'Til the sun comes out and shines again
Smile for me, smile for me

On all those rainy days
Spend ya lifetime tryin? to wash away
Until the sun shines and I see your face
Smile at me, smile at me

We're always livin' so crazy and sexy and cool
And we begin to love it (begin love it)
Watchin' all the heartache and pain of the world
And think nothing of it (thinkin' nothing of it)
Now baby I got love for you
And I know that you got me baby (got me baby)
But everytime the sun shines bright it gets socloudy


Mary: 'Cause nobody loves the rain
Ja: can't stand it
It always seem to fall
Mary: Baby handle it
Baby didn't we tell you before about chasin?those waterfalls?
Yeah
Mary: Nobody loves the rain
Ja: Can't stand it
It always seems to fall
Mary: Baby handle it
Baby didn't we tell you before about chasin?those waterfalls
Yeah

Mary baby, sometimes the Rule don't mind the rain

It kinda feels like I'm drownin' in the Lord's pain
Until the sun comes out and shines again, smile
Gimme reason to keep believin' that everything ain't is mean and
I kiss the clouds on the rainy days
And smile for you when the skies are gray
Baby 'cause I'm a teardrop away from cryin'
And a few shots away from dyin'
Dear Lord would you shower my pain
Let it rain, let it rain on me
While I cherish the air I breathe
I'm an angel- that can't soar, can't fly
And I imagine the Lord knows why


I feel like an angel in my broken wings
So I can soar again, Lord let me in
And through all the passion and the pain and the hurt
I feel like I'm fallin' (yeah)
Makin' promises of love to those that spread love
And for those that can't take it, stand up
Baby we goin' make it and the words of Marvin Gaye
"War is not the answer"



Smile smile smile smile smile sm-smile sm-smile
'Til the sun shines
Just smile for me
Just smile for me, just smile at me

Know in your heart that we are free
Free to believe whatever we feel
So feel something real baby, yeah

    I love this song - it's so pretty! I personally love Ja Rule's voice, it's so 'angry', if you know what I mean. This song reminds me all the bad times in life, and how they will always get better, no matter what. It tells you to hold on, and that everything will be ok. This song is da bomb!

    I have to agree with you Gurl, although, I think when they are saying "smile at me," it means that there is a special person in everyones life that makes those rainy dayz go away.

    I bought this CD while I was in NYC with my friend Rob... more than a friend i guess, but he moved away before we realized it. After spending 4 solid days and night with him in the city, i cried on the way home listening to this song. It was partly because i was leaving and partly due to the lyrics... this is always the way we act, how we rely on each other when things feel terrible for one of us and everything seems all right. everyone should have that kind of special someone.

    i think its about how life was grey and boring, the rainy days, until they emt their special someone and now everything is perfect. "All of those rainy days Spend ya lifetime tryin to wash away Until the sun shines and I see your face Smile at me, smile at me" meaning theyd spent a lifetime trying to be happy, but now when their partner smiles at them and they see their face the rainy dayz turn to sunny days and everything is good. great song!

    Personally I think it has more to do with TLC's "Left Eye"'s death. There are one too many references to TLC's songs and album names such as "chasing those waterfalls" and "crazy sexy cool". I think this song is a way of grieving for her.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
