The start of Armageddon
It was just another day
We all saw the news, nothing to say


So many friends are missing
And family members gone
So we all pray that God help them be strong


And now we stand together
Remembering that day
The lives we live will never be the same


CHORUS
And we don’t know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change?
And we don’t know why
But we know it’s not right
We don’t know why so many had to die
We don’t know why so many had to die


Hate has turned to others
For their religion or their skin
But hate can’t solve the problem it began
Everyone is angry
People are afraid
And no one knows what decisions will be made


CHORUS


Bridge
And we don’t know why (don’t know why)
The innocent die (don’t know why)
Will this world ever find a way to change?
And we don’t know why (don’t know why)
But we know it’s not right (don’t know why)
Will any of us ever be the same?
Will any of this ever be the same?


And we don’t know why
The innocent die
Will any of us ever be the same?
Will any of this ever be the same?

    This song is so great. We've got all these songs that sound the same, written about the WTC, and not that I'm bashing them...but they all get to sound the same. But then one listen to this, and it's just liek "woah". What they're saying may sound out-right, blunt, and in-your-face, but it's what needs to be said and if that's what it takes, then so be it.

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
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.

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/

Magical
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.
