Tonight the TV is my friend
Life's misdemeanors
Won't let the magic in
Some inspiration
Then it stops
But when the rain it comes
It never wants to stop

Sleep sleep
It doesn't hurt to be here any more

Sleep sleep
A box of you is lying on the floor

God wants to know the long weekend
He'll get to know his son
Jesus as a friend

All superheroes fast asleep
It gets so busy seven days a week

Sleep sleep
It doesn't hurt to be here any more

Sleep sleep
A box of you is lying on the floor

For all misguided modesties
Illusions of the past
Not everything that's meant to be
Is always going to last

I love you
I love to turn you on
I love to turn you on

Amelia soldier on

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

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.
