This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Looks like I got my fix with this one
I've seen this drought so long this shit is my oasis
My hand is a hundred aces
I'm so tuned in and locked down
And off to the races
I broke the mold of what it means to be me
It's all good
But I've taste tested many defeats
Crank up the heat
And let it simmer
I feel most alive in the dead of the winter
And I coulda been a woulda been
First name you'd never know it
Last name not worth the notice
Fuck what you heard
The drought is done
I'm back up on my shit again
Not in the mood to make circle big
Already got some friends
I do OT like working class
Callouses all on my hands
Chances are I'll pass it down
None of this was ever planned
And I'm so down to earth I got a burial
I dreamt of growing wings but there's snipers in the aerial
Go on give me a reason to pop off
Every day you know I gotta lay down the law
There ain't no rest here
Not till my people all set I'll work a hundred years
I said
Go on give me a reason to pop off
Every day you know I gotta lay down the law
There ain't no rest here
Not till my people all set I'll work a hundred years
Of all the things I coulda been
God wanted me to be a star
I make my own game
No I wasn't built to be a pawn
Stuck in the mud never
I hold my tongue never
And all ya words couldn't ever seem to hurt me
So try ya luck with stones
Ain't a day I ever worry
There ain't a day I ever worry
I wanna know what life is like when all my people better off
I wanna know what life is like when grass is always greener here
I wanna know what life is like when I don't have a single fear
It's time to make a killing
I gotta raise my ceilings
Went from no motivation
To over dedication
We never ever fading
I tried a million times
I failed a million more
So imma get me mine
I know they can't ignore
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give for real
Go on give me a reason to pop off
Every day you know I gotta lay down the law
There ain't no rest here
Not till my people all set I'll work a hundred years
I said
Go on give me a reason to pop off
Every day you know I gotta lay down the law
There ain't no rest here
Not till my people all set I'll work a hundred years
I've seen this drought so long this shit is my oasis
My hand is a hundred aces
I'm so tuned in and locked down
And off to the races
I broke the mold of what it means to be me
It's all good
But I've taste tested many defeats
Crank up the heat
And let it simmer
I feel most alive in the dead of the winter
And I coulda been a woulda been
First name you'd never know it
Last name not worth the notice
Fuck what you heard

I'm back up on my shit again
Not in the mood to make circle big
Already got some friends

And I'm so down to earth I got a burial
I dreamt of growing wings but there's snipers in the aerial
Go on give me a reason to pop off
Every day you know I gotta lay down the law
There ain't no rest here
Not till my people all set I'll work a hundred years

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
i love this guy, his lyrics, his melodies, the catchiness he creates...it's all the best package that only "redhead" could deliver.
best lines ever:
"Saw your friends at the bar just the other day Talking 'bout your new boyfriend I just stood there smilin' but I couldn't help thinkin' All the ways that I'm better than him"
