Do you remember staying up late night listening?
To the records in my bedroom
As the needle jumped my heart skipped a beat, no surrender, Eddy, No retreat
All the Kids and the fools that run our schools
I wanna teacher, not a preacher
But you and me we were back to back skin on skin
There was no chance, that we couldn't win

We might never be, all we set out to be
But It was always you and Me

High Inside the Park, As It Got Dark Searching for the Light
It was behind your eyes, up to the skies, we were bound
Way before the fear, of a career as a no one
Tonight we leave the town that could've brought us down, But No More
Don't Worry, Its Only, English Graffiti

Spittin' On the Mic, Me with my Staccato Guitar
Move the Crowd my playground superstar
The Fear of Growing up and being whoever I wanna be,
Scares the living shit out of me

But Waking up to a 9-5
daily asking ourselves are we really even alive
we need to get out, fight the distance
Cos If we Stay, prescriped existence for me

We might never see, all we set out to see
But It was always you and Me

High Inside the Park, As It Got Dark Searching for the Light
It was behind your eyes, up to the skies, we were bound
Way before the fear, of a career as a no one
Tonight we leave the town that could've brought us down, But No More
Don't Worry,

There was always something more,
something hidden behind the closed door
I'm tired of finding the same excuse
whats the point when there nothing to loose
and living in regrets much harder that defeat
and its never felt so close to reach

High Inside the Park, As It Got Dark Searching for the Light
It was behind your eyes, up to the skies, we were bound
Way before the fear, of a career as a no one
Tonight we leave the town that could've brought us down, But No More
Don't Worry, Its Only, English Graffiti

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
