Retracing footsteps down the stairs
The words that chase me splitting hairs
Down the hallway dimly lit
Stumble on your wit
I know I can't afford to be late again today
I just can't make it there on time to save my life
Maybe I should just slow down
And take my time instead
I don't remember how I got this bump on my head

Starting off with a clean slate
Now I don't care if I am late
Don't know why it even mattered now
Lost all sense somehow
Although I can't remember facts
At least I'll finally relax
Let me sleep here on the floor, content with nothing more
Maybe I should just slow down
Take my time instead
Don't remember how I got this bump on my head
I was falling down the stairs
Now I'm sprawling everywhere

My depth perception's not enough
My senses never pick it up
Leave me floundering in space
Falling down and calling out there's no one there
And I'm falling, I'm sprawling

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.

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.
