Baby, I will soon be leaving
And I know that you are feeling down
But every week I'll send a letter
To let you know my love will never change
I promise you, I always feel the same

So remember in your heart
Baby when we are apart
There's no need for crying
'Cause even if I am

Halfway around the world
That won't stop me from loving you
Halfway around the world
Still be feeling the way I do
Now I wanna hold you, baby
'Cause I'm going to miss you like crazy
Even if I'm halfway around the world

Baby, when the miles are growing
You and I will still be growing strong
No matter what your friends are saying
Don't give up on what you're waiting for
'Cause one day I'll be knocking on your door

So remember in your heart
Baby, when we are apart
There's no need for crying
'Cause even if I am

Halfway around the world
That won't stop me from loving you
Halfway around the world
Still be feeling the way I do
Now I wanna hold you, baby
'Cause I'm gonna miss you like crazy
Even if I'm halfway around the world

If I could, you know that I would find a way
To stay for good, but I must go now
I wanna hold you, baby
I'm gonna miss you like crazy, even if I'm...

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.
