Stop searching, sliding alone
I know you’re breathing on your own
Star patterns, burned in your side
With ice melting, you’ll break in tonight

No way, there’s no way!
You’ll ever see what slipped through your fingers
No chance, there’s no chance!
I guess I'm tired, making up your mind for you
So tired of making it seem real for you
So tired, wishing I could change for you

You could be the perfect imposter
Try to pass it off real
You can take yourself anywhere you like
But you’ll always be there
You can’t escape what you carry in yourself
Try hard, but it's just a show
Every time you conspire to fool yourself
You’ll live but will you have a smile

Oh no!
You’re in the light again
Too late!
You’re not ready for yourself
Alright!
You're on the stage again
Too bad
Your mask isn’t fully cured

Oh no!
You’re in the light again
Too late!
You’re not ready for yourself
Alright!
You're on the stage again
Too bad
Your mask isn’t fully cured

Oh no!
(I’m not too sure but you know I want you, I know...)
You’re in the light again
Too late!
(I need to find my sanity for more ...)
You’re not ready for yourself
Alright!
(I’m not too sure but you know I want you, I know...)
You're on the stage again
Too bad
(I need to find ...)
Your mask isn’t fully cured

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,

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
