The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Another day gone by
And still no reason why
You say goodbye but then you cry
A million miles apart we lie
I opened every door to you
I put all my trust in you
You took advantage of it why?
Was every word you said a lie?
[Chorus]
It's just another day, that didn't go my way
It's just another day
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
I sit in here with all this fear
Empty thoughts and a blank stare
Trying to find, a reason why
The ones you trust, are the ones that lie
And was I wrong, for trusting you
You said you just don't know what to do
When you're with him, you think of me
Cause change means losing security
[Chorus]
It's just another day, that you're living life this way
It's just another day
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
You say there's too much past with him
You can't throw it all away
But the past is all you have with him
History means security
That's what I say, it's just another day
[Chorus]
Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
It's just another day
And still no reason why
You say goodbye but then you cry
A million miles apart we lie
I opened every door to you
I put all my trust in you
You took advantage of it why?
Was every word you said a lie?
[Chorus]
It's just another day, that didn't go my way
It's just another day
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
I sit in here with all this fear
Empty thoughts and a blank stare
Trying to find, a reason why
The ones you trust, are the ones that lie
And was I wrong, for trusting you
You said you just don't know what to do
When you're with him, you think of me
Cause change means losing security
[Chorus]
It's just another day, that you're living life this way
It's just another day
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
You say there's too much past with him
You can't throw it all away
But the past is all you have with him
History means security
That's what I say, it's just another day
[Chorus]
Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
It's just another day

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
