I look outside and see that everything is perfect
Except for me, I'll always be the one who sits and stares

And now and then, you're just my friend
Somone I could talk to
And it's killing me, it's just killing me

[Chorus]
I feel so empty inside
'Cause I'm a freak in your eyes
I feel so empty inside
And it's killing me

I look outside and see that everything is different
You'll never see inside of me, inside just who I am

And now and then you're just my friend
Someone I could talk to
And it's killing me, it's just killing me

[Chorus]

I, I'm outside looking in
I look into your eyes and see that you are perfect
Except for me, except for me
I feel so empty inside

'Cause I'm a freak in your eyes
I feel so empty inside
I feel so
I feel so
I, I feel so empty inside

    This song seems to be pretty self-explanatory (sp?). He's just saying how he feels shitty because the person he loves thinks he's a "freak" and therefore doesn't feel the same way about him. And he says that she'll never really know who he truly is, because she doesn't take the time to look past the surface. Also, even though she's like this, he still thinks she's perfect.

    I just heard Unloco for the first time a couple days ago because my friend had me listen to the CD he got a while back. I'm glad I heard it, because I these guys really rock. You should check them out if you haven't heard them before.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
