Oh oh yeah
Darlene, oh Darlene, oh Darlene,
Oh oh yeah Darlene, oh oh Darlene, oh oh Darlene
Oh come on baby give me some

When I see you at that dance with your tight dress on
Whatcha got it sure is fine
I want to get me some

Darlene, woo baby baby Darlene, oh be my baby Darlene,
Oh, come on baby be my baby
Come on, come on come oh
Darlene, oh, Darlene, hey hey Darlene, oh oh
Come back and be my sweet little girl
When I see you on the street, it makes my heart go flitter
I see you walkin' with all those guys
It makes me feel so sick

And I don't care what people say
And I don't care what they do
Sweet child I gotta make you mine
You're the only thing that I want: You!
Baby baby when you walk down the block,
See the people behind (?)
Woh child oh ya drive me wild
I gotta do it really gonna try

Oh baby, I got my car
I'll take you as far
I'm gonna take you every place
I'm gonna boogie-woogie-woogie-woogie that's fine

I'm gonna prove it, Darlene
I'm gonna make ya my girl
I'm gonna boogie, Darlene
I'm gonna send ya in another world

'Cause I love Darlene, I gotta love 'er,
Yes I do
I've been savin' all my money I've been workin' all day long
I gotta give it all back to you

Oh but I love Darlene?
'Cause I love, yes I do ?
I've been workin' to, I've been workin' everyday
I've been tryin' to get a hold of you
And I love you Darlene
Yes I love you I do
?
I've been saving all for you
Oh I love ya

    Zeppelin is a great band, but this has got to be one of their worst songs. It doesn't have nearly the feeling as most of their songs do, and the lyrics are pretty weak as well. I wonder how long it took to write this song.

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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
