Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people,
Change, change, fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people
Return to the womb (new life) lay your head to rest (mercy)
To give you a peace of mind lay your head to rest
Come together inside, this body is only a shell, change
The only way we will survive light transfiguration of the soul
Of the soul, of the mind
Fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world, drain the life force of our
People
Return to the womb(new life) lay your head to rest (mercy)
To give you a piece of mind lay your head to rest
Tell them, they will not hold us down, its time for change, change
Its time for change. change
Its time for change, they will not hold us down, they will not hold us down
Its time for change, its time for change
Drain the life force of our people,
Change, change, fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people
Return to the womb (new life) lay your head to rest (mercy)
To give you a peace of mind lay your head to rest
Come together inside, this body is only a shell, change
The only way we will survive light transfiguration of the soul
Of the soul, of the mind
Fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world, drain the life force of our
People
Return to the womb(new life) lay your head to rest (mercy)
To give you a piece of mind lay your head to rest
Tell them, they will not hold us down, its time for change, change
Its time for change. change
Its time for change, they will not hold us down, they will not hold us down
Its time for change, its time for change

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift

The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
again, i said it on another song and i'll say it on this one, it seems that a lot of KsE songs have a very spiritual underpinning. This song appears to be about a person allowing themselves to be reborn, allowing themselves to change, and not letting society hold them down. This song is beautiful, through and through :D
