Busted Stuff (Busted Stuff version)

Dave Matthews Band

Not enough
Never too much
Baby look just like love
Rolling stone
Gathers no moss
But leave a trail of Busted Stuff

You know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I'll take what she's given up
Yeah

You know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I'll take what she's given up
Yeah

Moving to kiss, oh
Sweet, sugar lips
Baby look just like love
Without a care, she floats above me
She got me down here looking up

You know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I'll take what she's given up
Yeah

You know she's gonna leave this broken man behind
Yeah, yeah...

She's the one for me...

When she move, she move so cool
Got me feel just like a fool
But inside is where the devil rides
The woman look just like love

You know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I'll take what she's given up
Yeah

You know she's gonna leave this broken man behind her
Yeah, yeah...

She the one, she the one, she the one for me...

You know she's gonna leave this broken man behind
Yeah, yeah

You're the one, you're the one, you're the one for me...

    This song made me angry...not the song itself, but the fact that Dave changed almost every song from The Lillywhite Sessions and put them on Busted Stuff. Other than that, I love this song! -The Virgince in the Force-

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
