Gravity's Bringing Us Down

Beulah

Ba Da Ba Da Da Da x 3749837498475984759857

I never saw you up there
Cause you never made a sound
If I knew what you up to
I would have shot you down

Hey, would you say I'm on the rebound?
Watch me fall at the speed of sound
You trigger finger's cocked and I'm feeling weak
Open wide
I'm paralyzed

You were working on the inside
Disconnecting the alarm
I was mixing up your signals
Trying to turn me on

Hey, would you say I'm on the rebound?
Watch me fall at the speed of sound
You trigger finger's cocked and I'm feeling weak
Open wide
I'm paralyzed

Over the hill
The frequency is breaking down
Don't wanna guess but i think its time we turned around

I'm soft, but I'll be alright
Soft, but I'll be alright
Soft, yeah I'll be alright
Soooooft

Hey, would you say I'm on the rebound?
Watch me fall at the speed of sound
You trigger finger's cocked and I'm feeling weak
Open wide
I'm paralyzed

We're getting high
But we're still feeling down
Gravity has a way of pinning us to the ground

I'm soft, but I'll be alright
Soft, but I'll be alright
Soft, yeah I'll be alright
Soooooft

Lonely.. I'm just
Lonely.. I'm just
Lonely..

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
