Jamie (Acoustic)

Jamie
What you doing now
What you doing now girl
Please please tell me
'Cause I need to know
I need to know now

When I was down
Came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side
Now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie
I want you to know

Jamie, Jamie
I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

Jamie
Who's faxing you now
Who's dialing your carphone
Please please be true
You know that I trust you
To do that which you must do

When I was down
Came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side
Now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie
I want you to know

Jamie, Jamie
I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

You've got the Beach Boys
And your firm's got the Stones
But I know
You won't leave me alone

Sometimes it seems
You're not with me
It hurts me so much
It hurts me so much
Sometimes it seems
You're not with me
It hurts me so much
It hurts me so much

You are the most
You're so rad
You're so fresh
And I'm so bad
I am yours
You are mine
Show me where and I will sign
When I was down came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side
Now you're gone
And I'm waiting waiting

Jamie, Jamie
I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

Jamie, believe me
I won't let you down
'Cause you you are the best lawyer in town

It hurts me so much
It hurts me so much
I love you so much
I love you so much

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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”

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
