Hold me love,
I can't sleep again,
will I have to kiss your nose,
I wanna lay here next to him,
love,
I remember walking in the rain,
rain was falling on my hands,
I don't wanna live through that again,
no.

I know it takes love, love is a healing thing
When you give everything, you're loving the world
The world gives you love to hold onto, remembering, we seldom remember love.

Just give me many chances,
I'll see you through it all,
just give me time to learn to crawl.

In September,
when the rain comes,
and the wind blows,
I will see you walking in the coat of,
If you let me,
I will keep you here inside the stars,
I will love the salt on my sheets, oh you'll love me.

Just give me many chances,
I'll see you through it all,
just give me time to learn to crawl,
time to learn to crawl,
time to learn to crawl,
time to learn to crawl.

    I believe that this song is a cover and is about some guy's dead dog. I'm not sure, so don't shoot me or anything. Either way it's a great song lyrically and musically!!

    I love this song, cliched but I feel like I can relate to it.

    "Hold me love, I can't sleep again, will I have to kiss your nose, I wanna lay here next to him, love."

    When I'm with my boyfriend, and he's asleep, I just watch him, and this line runs through my head repeatedly. That's not a meaning of the song obviously, it's just significant to me.

    I love the stuff about, well, love, it's true, when you're loving the world, when you're happy and so on, the world gives you that love in return somehow.

    It's interesting to compare this version with the one it's a "cover" of - Michelle's made a few changes that make me think she wants to change the meaning entirely. While Chantal's version seems to be about being in a loving relationship etc etc, with reference to being unsure if she is ready for it, to me it seems like Michelle's version is about being in a relationship where she's not sure if she's ready for sex, where the guy is clearly more experienced and maybe getting a little frustrated with her. She loves the person very much but she's asking him to give her time to take the relationship further physically. Hold me love, I can't sleep again, will I have to kiss your nose, I wanna lay here next to him, love,

    Maybe someone else has had the experience of staying over but having a hard time sleeping, being in an unfamilliar situation...

    I will love the salt on my sheets, oh you'll love me. I think this one is kind of an obvious reference, once you think about it...

    Just give me many chances, I'll see you through it all, just give me time to learn to crawl,

    She's saying she feels so far behind - he is "walking" already and she still needs to learn to "crawl", and she's asking him to be patient and non-judgemental.

    Dude, sidelined, get your mind out of the gutter. Ew. "I will love the salt on my sheets"--She is referring to the sweat he leaves behind after laying in her bed. You know, we sweat pints of sweat each night. She lovingly admires his remnants when he leaves (his coat, and apparently, even his sweat).

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
