It's Friday night
What's going on tonight
I'll see her later on tonight

But now it's time to roll
This somber state is getting old
Well I never do what I am told
So now we're gonna roll
And now we're gonna roll

With the top down seat back rollin' in my Cadillac
With the top down seat back rollin' in my Cadillac

We order another round
My girl's nowhere to be found
I hope she gets here soon before I'm fallin' down

Cause now I'm all torn up
I feel like I might throw up
Then I get word my girl's showin' up
So now I'm gonna roll
And now I'm gonna roll

With the top down seat back rollin' in my Cadillac
With the top down seat back rollin' in my Cadillac

Rollin'
With the top down seat back rollin' in my Cadillac
Self control knowing right from wrong is what I lack
Top down seat back
Rollin' in my Cadillac

Top down seat back wi wi wi wi with the
Top down seat back wi wi wi wi wi with the
Top down seat back top down seat back top down seat back
Rollin' in my Cadillac

Rollin' in my Cadillac
Top down seat back wi wi wi wi with the
Top down seat back seat back seat back
With the top down seat back wi wi wi wi wi with the
Top down seat back top down seat back

Rollin'
With the top down seat back rollin' in my Cadillac
Self control knowing right from wrong is what I lack
Top down seat back
Rollin' in my Cadillac
Top down seat back
Rollin' in my Cadillac
Top down seat back
Rollin' in my Cadillac

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.

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,

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
