Tre gringos

Just D

Det var en helt vanlig dag ungefär som den här
och det började redan på morgonen när
vi såg en annons om en just saxofon
och sen blev den en tripp till så långt hemifrån
Vi tog blå linjen nere från Fridhemsplan
det kändes som det tog minst halva dan
och när vi väl kom fram och klev av vid perrongen
så klingade sången

Tre gringos, tre gringos, ahh-ha-ha
i förortsdjungeln, i djungeln, ahh-ha-ha,
i förortsdjungeln

Vi hade hamnat nånstans där vi kände oss lost
fast det fanns både Konsum, McDonalds och post
Där var konstiga människor i lustiga kläder
och nästan som om det vart varmare väder
Som främlingar var vi i främmande land
Skeppsbrutna, vilsna på främmande strand
Alla stirrade på oss och för andra gången
så hörde vi sången

Tre gringos, tre gringos, ahh-ha-ha
i förortsdjungeln, i djungeln, ahh-ha-ha,
i förortsdjungeln

Vi såg på varandra och sa
har vi åkt fel, men adressen var rätt
Så vi gick fram till det hus där det var
Allt var så nytt men ändå bekant på nått sätt

Vi gick upp, ringde på, och nån öppnade strax
Excuse me, is this where we can buy a sax?
Han plockade fram den och där på balkongen
så lira han sången

Tre gringos, tre gringos, ahh-ha-ha
i förortsdjungeln, i djungeln, ahh-ha-ha,
i förortsdjungeln

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”

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
