Why can't I explain my feelings?
All these thoughts my mind's just reeling,
Confused and dumb in my regrets,
I hope it's not too late yet.

I miss you yes it's true,
It's been two months and I'm the fool,
I don't know what's keeping me from you.
Well, it's hard to explain what I've done wrong,

New adjustments it's been so long.
A lot's gone right but mostly wrong,
I hope someday you hear this song.
I miss you yes it's true,

It's been two months and I'm the fool,
Two thousand miles away from you.
This place is bringing me down,
Because you're not ground.

It's hard to find the time,
When I can,
I know I'll make you mine.
Well, it kills me to hear.

All good things come to an end.
No matter what, open arms and open ears,
A shoulder to cry on.
All good things come to an end,

No matter what, I'm still a friend.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
