I'll catch you again someday
On the streets of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Then again maybe not
Where we can sit and reminisce
About our younger years
And how we'd stay in bed all day
When you should of been in class, then

[Chorus:]
Then in the night
That light shown down upon you
Made you look like the star that you were
Then in the night
That light shown down upon you
Made you look like the star that you are

Daytime thoughts on those streets
Through winter breezes freezing gusts of wind
Cutting razors to my ears
Those bitter cold days cast your silhouette
Angel like through the fogged up cafe glass
Reality became a dream

[Chorus]
Then in the night
That light shown down upon you
Made you look like the star that you were
Yea, then in the night
That light shown down upon you [Repeat: x1]

Driving you to the airport
Watching you walk off to the
Plane that did carry you away
You were too sad to look back to wave goodbye
So I'm not going to tell you what you missed
And I'm not going to tell myself
That I will never find you glowing in those lights again
Cause I don't know if I will ever have that chance
But still I'll never forget those days we had
And I'll never forget those nights in the dark
In the pitch black moon light
The streets of this town are still cold
And still windy but the 61c doesn't feel the same
You said lets just leave it to fate
So I guess I'll just have to leave it to fate
And wait and remember those days turned to nights

Then in the night
That light shown down upon you
Made you look like the star that you were
Then in the night
That light shown down upon you
Yea

    This song is amazing, but it is very dare I say it, emo-esque

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.

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
