Funny how I couldn't see
This is not at all about you, it's about me
Everything has happened the way it was meant to be
Here's an opportunity for us to find
A way for me to tell you what's been on my mind
Please forgive me, I don't mean to seem unkind
But you wind me up, so wind me up again
I feel the tug of war, it only seems to happen
When we open love's door
Everything is back to the way it was before
Can you tell the difference or is it the same
Does it really count if we don't give it a name
Please forgive me, I don't mean to seem insane
But you wind me up, better wind me up again
Funny, but I thought you knew
All those things you think about I think about too
Gotta seperate the unreal from what is true
Here's an opportunity for us to find
A way for me to tell you what's been on my mind
Please forgive me, I don't mean to seem unkind
But you wind me up, so wind me up again

Quand le vin est tiré, il faut le boire when the wine is opened, you
Must drink it
Oh non, ce n'est pas grand chose oh no, it's nothing
Ce n'est qu'un emploi provisoire it's only a temporary job
Oui, je comprends yes, I understand
Il a nié mordicus he denied everything
Il trompe sa femme he cheats on his wife
C'est du toc it's all fake
C'était très visible it was obvious
Mais j'ai entendu but I heard
J'étais terriblement gínée I was terribly embarrassed
C'est un cercle vicieux it's a vicious circle
Il a pris la poudre d'escampette he ran away
J'ai un maillot de bain à une pièce I have a one-piece swim suit

Quand le vin est tire, il faut le boire
Oh non, ce n'est pas grand chose
Ce n'est qu'un emploi provisoire
Oui, je comprends
Il a nie mordicus
Il trompe sa femme
C'est du toc
C'etait tres visible
Mais j'ai entendu
J'etais terriblement genee
C'est un cercle vicieux
Il a pris la poudre d'escampette
J'ai un maillot de bain a une piece

    It's obviously a break up song.

    This song will always hold a special place in my heart. To me, Fastball is one of the greatest bands of recent times and this song certainly put me in a good mood while I was going through some bad times. It is a song about a break up, but to me, I interpret it as a symbol of once being wound up and happy and now I need to be wound up and happy again.

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"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
