This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I had a plan at 10 years
To try my best, do as I'm told.
and that'll to catch pretty people's eyes
I didn't have the coolest hair
The newest clothes nor the richest parents
So I sat alone as the pretty girls walk by
I tried my best to make in jokes
only to trip over my words and choke
So I ran my home and stayed inside my room
I swore I'd never go back alive
Shallow talk with shallow minds
With that was just a jealous boy's excuse
‘Cuz everybody’s dancing and I don’t feel the same
This room is full of people who barely know my name
And I don’t feel like dancing on my own again
Another year without a friend
Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my head
With this comes insecurity,
Embarrassed smiles and tragedy.
Increasing fear of growing old lonely
I said I put on my dancing shoes
But I’ve got two left feet and no good moves
The pretty girls found cooler kids than me
So I sat and waited patiently until the day I finally be asked
But it never came, no, it never came!
‘Cuz everybody’s dancing and I don’t feel the same
This room is full of people who barely know my name
And I don’t feel like dancing on my own again
Another year without a friend,
Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my head
And I found it hard to take some time out of the days that I spent wishing I could be anyone but me
‘Cuz everybody’s dancing and I don’t feel the same
This room is full of people who barely know my name
‘Cuz everybody’s dancing and I don’t feel the same
This room is full of people who barely know my name
And I don’t feel like dancing on my own again
Another year without a friend,
Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my (head)
Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my head
To try my best, do as I'm told.
and that'll to catch pretty people's eyes
I didn't have the coolest hair
The newest clothes nor the richest parents
So I sat alone as the pretty girls walk by
I tried my best to make in jokes
only to trip over my words and choke
So I ran my home and stayed inside my room
I swore I'd never go back alive
Shallow talk with shallow minds
With that was just a jealous boy's excuse
‘Cuz everybody’s dancing and I don’t feel the same
This room is full of people who barely know my name
And I don’t feel like dancing on my own again
Another year without a friend
Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my head
With this comes insecurity,
Embarrassed smiles and tragedy.
Increasing fear of growing old lonely
I said I put on my dancing shoes
But I’ve got two left feet and no good moves
The pretty girls found cooler kids than me
So I sat and waited patiently until the day I finally be asked
But it never came, no, it never came!
‘Cuz everybody’s dancing and I don’t feel the same
This room is full of people who barely know my name
And I don’t feel like dancing on my own again
Another year without a friend,
Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my head
And I found it hard to take some time out of the days that I spent wishing I could be anyone but me
‘Cuz everybody’s dancing and I don’t feel the same
This room is full of people who barely know my name
‘Cuz everybody’s dancing and I don’t feel the same
This room is full of people who barely know my name
And I don’t feel like dancing on my own again
Another year without a friend,
Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my (head)
Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my head

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
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
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.
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.
Words By JAMES VECK-GILODI:
Lyrically in teams of Subject matter, this one is a little more light hearted, hence the over dramatic name. It goes back a little further then I have done before.
This song is about being in Primary school. Back then I wasn’t anywhere near as confident as I am now (which even now isn’t a great deal), I spent the majority of my preteen years alone. My parents moved a lot and I attended 6 different primary schools this not having any real friends. I remember my main concern back then for some reason was school disco, and the fact that I was always scared no one would dance with me, even at a young age. Basically this song is mainly about the fact that my worst fears always come true, no one ever danced with me at school discos, well unless you include dinner ladies who were 5 times my age or teachers who felt sorry for me.
It didn’t affect me of course in the long run, such a trivial matter, but I will never forget the disappointment and resent I always felt on those horrible days.
The title of the song is a genuine quote from a text message I sent to my friend Mikey last year. I was at a Greek house party and everybody was dancing and I was on my own drinking.
The text message was of course tongue in cheek but maybe it goes back to those early school discos and girls I could never impress .
