This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I've lost count, of how many times
I've tried to reach you
You weren't coming
Have my messages gotten lost?
'Cause it's been twenty six years now, and still no response
Nonetheless I'll start from where I last left off.
Fill you in with everything that's been going on
It's been a bit overwhelming
But I'm sure all the letters have been more than telling.
(Yeah)
Yeah, you just ought to know! (you just ought to know)
I'm coming here, because I got nowhere else to go.
I for one am better off without you (without you)
But there are those out there that really fuckin' need you (need you)
I've lost count, have my messages gotten lost?
(Of how many times I've tried to reach you)
'Cause it's been twenty six years now, and still no response.
Yeah, you just ought to know!
I'm coming here, because I got nowhere else to go (Oh)
Yeah, you just ought to know! (you just ought to know)
I'm coming here, because I got nowhere else to go.
It starts with me
It starts with me
It starts with me
It starts with me
It starts with me
It starts with me
It starts with me
I've tried to reach you
You weren't coming
Have my messages gotten lost?
'Cause it's been twenty six years now, and still no response
Nonetheless I'll start from where I last left off.
Fill you in with everything that's been going on

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I think the speaker in this song is talking about God. He has been praying to God his entire life asking for help, but he never got an answer. In the end, he decides he doesn't need God's help to overcome his problems, but takes a stab at him anyway saying "there are those out there who really do need you." "I'm coming here because I've got nowhere else to go" is referring to a church. The speaker is not a religious man, and has lost his hope and faith in God, but since he has been cast out by society and may be homeless judging by previous songs, he comes to the church as a last resort.
