Bartender

Hed PE

Ain't nothing working ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me that I can't fill
No matter how hard I try

Hey bartender hit me with a double
And introduce me to that girl with the bubble
I'm looking for trouble tonight
No momma don't trust me tonight
You be the center baby
I'd be the quarterback
Hike hit the tailback
Watch it on playback
Jah smash that hitting that redbone
Up in the endzone biting on the collarbone

[Chorus]
I just want your company
I just want you to comfort me just come with me

Hey bartender hit me with another
I just about had to kill this brother
Shit I'm looking for trouble tonight
You be the beauty - baby
I'd be the beast
Who gives a fuck take it to the bedroom
Take it the streets
Take it like a man muthafucker
Yo bitch chose me muthafucker

[Chorus: x 2]

Take me there take me with you
I can't be alone tonight
I can't be alone tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
I can't trust myself tonight

Baby please don't trust me tonight
No please don't trust me tonight

Ain't nothing working
Ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me that I can't fill
No matter how hard I try
Ain't nothing sweeter there ain't nothing wrong
All the pain that I receive keeps me strong
It keeps me moving on

I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me

Comfort me just come with me
Comfort me just come with me

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.

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"

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,

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
