Calling all boys, calling all girls
Calling all people on streets
Around the world
Take this message a message for you
This message is old, yeah
This message is true, this message is
This message is, this message is, this message is

Love take a message of love
Far and near
Take a message of love for all to hear
For all to hear

Some sleepless nights in wait for you
Some foreign presence you feel
Comes seeping through
Some stream of hope
The whole world through
Spread like some silent disease
You'll get yours too
This message is, this message is
This message is, this message is

Love take a message of love
Far and near
Take a message of love for all to hear
For all to hear

Love take a message of love
Far and near
Take a message of love for all to hear
For all to hear

Calling all boys, calling all girls
Calling all boys, calling all girls
Calling all girls...

    I've thought about it "buzzkiller". Nothing is certain, life isn't a friggin' bowl of cherries and double entendre (dual meanings, children) are ubiquitous in Mercury's lyrics.

    Have you not considered that the "stream of hope" may be that promiscuity won't result in an infectious disease?

    Do you folks have any awareness of the people and personalities behind the music or do you just naturally assume that everything anyone ever writes can only have the most obvious and literal meaning?

    Next you'll be arguing that "2112" has nothing to do with abusive and stifling governments and is only about a guy who finds a guitar.

    I've not said that anyone else's interpretation of the "obvious" meaning is wrong; in fact, I agreed with it!

    Get off my jock now, okay?

    Thank you.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

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.
