Friday night, I'm going nowhere, all the lights are changing green to red
I'm turning all the TV stations, situations running through my head
Looking back through time and it's clear that I've been blind, I've been a fool
To ever open up my heart to all the jealousy, the bitterness, the ridicule

Well, if you want it, come n' get it, for crying out loud
The love that I was giving you was never in doubt
Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now
Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now
Babylon mmmm, Babylon

Saturday, I'm running wild, all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd, I'm pushing chemicals, they're rushing through my blood stream
I wish that you were here, I'm saying it so clear, I've been afraid
To tell you how I really feel; admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made

Well, if you want it, come n' get it, for crying out loud
The love that I was giving you was never in doubt
Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now
Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now
Babylon mmmm, Babylon

Sunday all the lights of London shining, sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
I'm turning back for home, you know I'm feeling so alone, I can't believe
Climbing on the stair, I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me

Well, if you want it, come n' get it, for crying out loud
The love that I was giving you was never in doubt
Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now
Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now
Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now
Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now
Babylon

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"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
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
“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.
