Courtney

Nerf Herder

You came from some town out in the sticks
To become the modern Stevie Nicks
You had the guts, a lot of ambition
The riot grrrls thought you were bitchin'
You bared your soul
You showed us your hole

Courtney Love don't throw it all away
Courtney Love don't you go changin'
Courtney Love Courtney Courtney Love

I saw you in a movie about pornography
You were looking pale and kind of saggy
I have to say it made me woozy
When you fucked Woody Harrelson in the jacuzzi
You wore grungy clothes
And doctors fixed your nose

Courtney Love don't throw it all away
Courtney Love don't you go changin'
Courtney Love Courtney Courtney Love

Now I'm overweight and ugly
Just like you used to be
Why can't I be like you
Then we could drive away to Malibu
I hope I'm not out of place but
Courtney Love sit on my face

Courtney Love don't throw it all away
Courtney Love what about me I'm not gay
Courtney Love Courtney Courtney Love

Gold dust woman...
Never break the chain

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
