I Wish

Public Affair

I wish things could go back to the way they were before
But they cant be anymore
Cause I wasted my time thinking I had everything going fine until
It hit me, all the problems I found within me
I can now see
That you and me can never be, again
So why am I
Always feeling like trash
When I think about you and me
What we would be
I feel like im coking
being suffacated
drowned in a sea of my own blood
I ask myself why
Cant I
Take the pressure anymore
Its shaken me to the core
I wish
It would go away
I feel so much pain
No one seems
To understand me
No one seems
To care about me
No one seems
To feel my pain
(silence for about 10 seconds)
Im wishin
hopin
dreamin
That we could be together again
but no
I cant seem to say
How i feel today or yesterday
Its not important anyway
Cause im no one without you
But I dont care
Leave me alone
Go away
Feel my pain
Take my hate, love, hopes, dreams, cares
I dont need them anyway
I just dont care
Ill sit in a corner
emotionless, blank
I wish

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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,
