The Upsetter

Metronomy

I've gotta beam my message to you
Straight from the satellite
Cause, girl, we're meant to be together
Yeah girl, we're meant to be together
I'm back out on the Riviera
It got so cold at night

I've gotta beam my message to you
I've gotta beam my message to you
I've gotta beam my message to you

I should've known from the call that you let out
You're not alone and you're still in love
And everyone says that I'm the upsetter
But I'm alone and I'm so in love

I've got it bad
And now this heart beats black
So black
Oh yeah

Reliving 1992 here
Playing "Sleeping Satellite"
Playing Prince and Deacon Blue, yeah
Playing "I Will Always Love You", yeah
But when I think of me and you
Get shivers down my spine

I've gotta beam my message to you
I've gotta beam my message to you

I should've known from the call that you let out
You're not alone and you're still in love
And everyone says that I'm the upsetter
But I'm alone and I'm so in love

I've got it bad
And now this heart beats black
So black
Oh yeah

I should've known from the call that you let out
You're not alone and you're still in love
And everyone says that I'm the upsetter
But I'm alone and I'm so in love

I've got it bad
And now this heart beats black
So black
Oh yeah

You really giving me a hard time tonight
You really giving me a hard time tonight
Why you giving me a hard time tonight?

You really giving me a hard time tonight
You really giving me a hard time tonight
You really giving me a hard time tonight
Why you giving me a hard time tonight?

You really giving me a hard time tonight

    My Opinion

    i can't believe no one has commented on this song yet. it really speaks to me, especially this part: "I should've known from the call that you let out You're not alone and you're still in love And everyone says that I'm the upsetter But I'm alone and I'm so in love"

    so sad and heartbreaking. it hurts to listen to this.

Cajun Girl
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”

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
