Yeah, I've been waiting for you
So patiently
And now you're here
You're my answer
Thank you
Yeah
I think you're my answer
Here I go

You're the answer
All this time I've tried to find you
I've been yearning
You're the answer to the question that's been burning
When they ask me who I love, you're the answer
You're my answer

Patiently I've waited for this day to finally come
Knew someday, somehow, I would find that special one
Someone perfect, someone true
Someone that I knew was you
Who can hold me tight
Keep me warm through the night
Who can wipe my tears
When it's wrong, make it right
Who can give me love until I'm satisfied
Who's the one I need in my life

You're the answer
All this time I've tried to find you
I've been yearning
You're the answer to the question that's been burning
When they ask me who I love
You're the answer
You're my answer

Baby I'm underneath your spell
Savor every moment that I have you to myself
Put my loving to the test cause baby this is destiny
Yeah, this is destiny

Who can hold me tight
Keep me warm through the night
Who can wipe my tears
When it's wrong, make it right
Who can give me love until I'm satisfied
You're the one I need in my life

You're the answer
All this time I've tried to find you
I've been yearning
You're the answer to the question that's been burning
When they ask me who I love
You're the answer
You're my answer

You're the answer
All this time I've tried to find you
I've been yearning
You're the answer to the question that's been burning
When they ask me who I love
You're the answer
You're my answer
Who can hold me tight
Keep me warm through the night
Who can wipe my tears
When it's wrong, make it right
Who can give me love until I'm satisfied
Who's the one I need in my life

You're the answer
All this time I've tried to find you
I've been yearning
You're the answer to the question that's been burning
When they ask me who I love
You're the answer
You're my answer
You're the answer
You're my answer, you're my answer, you're my answer
You're my answer

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"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

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.
