Da bei Adam und Eva im Paradies und sie fühlten nur
Diese eine Liebe und sonst war da nichts, wofür's zu leben lohnt
Und Gott, der Herr, vertraute blind darauf
Die Liebe könnte nur gestehen
Doch an einem Tag, da ging alles schief er bekam uns
Und wir den freien Willen

Auch wenn es scheint, dass nichts gelingt
Ja wenn es scheint, dass nichts gelingt
Ist manchmal das, ganz genau das
Was uns weiterbringt

Oder glaubst du an die Evolution
Und diesen Meteor, von dem man mir berichtet
Er hätt' das Leben auf dieser Erde
Fast mit einem Schlag vernichtet, doch
Übrig blieben wir, zunächst zum ausprobieren
Dann wuchs Hand und Fuß und ein Hier zum Gruß
Das heute mir sagt, mehr denn je
Wenn es auch schlimm kommt, das geht schon okay

Und wenn es scheint, dass nichts gelingt
Auch wenn es scheint, dass nichts gelingt
Ist manchmal das, ganz genau das
Was uns weiterbringt
Was uns weiterbringt

De-de-de-de-de-de-de, dada-dada-dada
De-de-de-de-de-de-de, oho

Ist auch die Fahne des Verlierers über dir gehisst
Was immer auch passiert
Wer weiß, wozu es gut ist?

Auch wenn es scheint, dass nichts gelingt
Ja wenn es scheint, dass nichts gelingt
Ist manchmal das, ganz genau das (oho-oho-oh)
Was uns weiterbringt
Ja wenn's scheint, dass nichts gelingt
Auch wenn es scheint, dass nichts gelingt
Ist manchmal das, ganz genau das
Was uns weiterbringt

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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,
