C'est La Vie

B*witched

Oh-Oh
Hey hey oh-oh
Oh-oh

I said, "Hey boy,
sitting in your tree
Mummy always wants
you to come for tea
(Oh-oh)
Don't be shy,
straighten up your tie
Get down from your
treehouse in the sky
(oh-oh)
I wanna know just
what to do
Is it very big, is there
room for two?
(Oh-oh)
I got a house with
windows and doors
I'll show you mine if
you show me yours"

(Bridge)
Gotta let me in
Hey hey hey
Let the fun begin, hey
I'm a wolf today
Hey hey hey
I'll huff, I'll puff
I'll huff, I'll puff,
I'll blow you away

Say you will,
say you won't
Say you'll do
what I don't.
Say you will
say the truth
say to me
C'est La Vie
(Repeat)

Do you play with the girls,
play with the boys?
Do you ever get lonely
playing with your toys?
(oh-oh)
We can talk, we can sing,
I'll be the queen and you'll
be the king
(oh-oh)

Hey boy, in your tree
Throw down your ladder,
make a room for me
(oh-oh)
I got a house with
windows and doors
I'll show you mine if
you show me yours

(Repeat bridge)

Say you will,
say you won't
Say you'll do
what I don't.
Say you will
say the truth
say to me
C'est La Vie
(Repeat)

Ah ah

Hey hey
Na na na ey
Na na na oh
Na na na ey
Hey hey hey hey

Say you will,
say you won't
Say you'll do
what I don't.
Say you will
say the truth
say to me
C'est La Vie
(Repeat)

Na na na ey
Na na na oh
C'est La vie
Na na na ey Hey Hey
C'est La Vie Hey Hey
Hey Hey

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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”

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
