Day after day I try to
Earn my pay
Go a little further
But the odds are never in my favor
(Oh, another)
I tell myself this can't go on
Very much longer
But when I put the last brick in the wall

Another brick falls

[Chorus]
I try to run
I try to hide
A thorn gets stuck right in my side
I tell myself it's all a game
But the truth remains
(Another)
I pick it up
I plow ahead
I think of all
I've done and said
But, it's never quite enough
Life will always be a little
Tough!

I run my race, keep up (oh)
Pretty well, at a steady pace but
There are days I fall behind the pack
(Oh, another)
It all seems simple till it
Gets so hard to handle
From the sky
From nothing at all

Another brick falls

[Chorus]

Obstacles are a loss of concentration
A thought that is in total isolation
Hang on, you're headed for a ride
Don't stray from the path that leads you
Instincts will never deceive you
When life really kicks
Learn to catch those falling bricks

I try to run
I try to hide
A thorn gets stuck right in my side

I tell myself it's all a game

[Chorus]

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.

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,

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
