If there were many tears falling down,
Every heart would become gentle.
If everybody expresses what they think,
Every heart can be satisfied.

I was frightened by the neverending night,
So I prayed to the distant stars.

In endlessly repeating time,
We were searching for love,
Because we wanted to become stronger.
We look up to the faraway sky.

The two of us, smiling, meet here,
Every heart has a habit of receiving its dreams.
Sadness has no effect on us,
Every heart gains happiness when it flies.

Someday our souls will unite,
We will give peaceful approval.

In endlessly repeating time,
We know why we are living.
We go through the nighttime laughing,
Both of us are mourning, yet we walk on

Memories of everything has settled,
This is a warm place to be.
The stars separate us from the future,
We are always so brilliant,
So shine.

In endlessly repeating time,
We were searching for love,
Because we wanted to become stronger.
We look up to the faraway sky.

In endlessly repeating time,
We know why we are living.
We go through the nighttime laughing,
Both of us are mourning, yet we walk on.

    This song is pure poetry. I think the line "If everybody expresses what they think, Every heart can be satisfied" is beautiful and very true because alot of people hold back on their feelings. The world would be a much better place. On top of that, people would act more like themselves instead of people even they themselves can't recognize. Every heart will be happy knowing they're doing the right thing. I also think the line "Both of us are mourning, yet we walk on" has a very significant meaning. It's basically telling us to stick to it, even though there may be times when you just feel down and ready to break out. Never give up. I love the message of Every Heart and therefore love this song. And besides, it sounds really nice.

    Song Meaning

    Every Heart is a touching song. I believe the deeper meaning is to believe, its possible to go through the many obstacles being faced and come out strong. "If there were many tears falling down, Every heart would become gentle," meaning, our inner emotions brings “everyone” together to see what others see in this world. If we got to see things differently than “We will give peaceful approval,”-a chance for bring peace to our future.

    “We are always so brilliant, so shine,” refers to everyone is special in their own way. We must be proud of what we do and not be ashamed. The more positive and loving we are, the less chance sadness will engulf our thoughts.

    Every Heart has been Expos “Woo hoo, Lee!”

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
