In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Sweet little baby,
You don't have to go
Little baby
Tell me you won't go
We'd be so good together if we had the time
Bein' alone's a nowhere state of mind
Lovin' ain't no crime, oh no
I see your man ain't here
He don't care
The way of the night has gone
We'll move on
Got to find a way
To face another day
I search the world
For someone I'll never find
Someone who ain't
The hurtin' kind
If you stay the night
We'll make the wrong seem right
So come on now
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
We'll burn in love tonight
Sweet little baby
Oh don't you go
You ain't so innocent, I know
I know your heart's like mine, oh yeah
And I will find the time
To make you mine
And if your love goes bad
If it makes you sad
I'll be back for more
At your door
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Before the mornin' light
We'll burn with love tonight
And when your man don't care
I will be there
Still be lovin' real good love
So baby now
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
There is no wrong or right
We'll burn with love
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
There is nothing left to do
But make sweet love to you
Come on and Rock me
You don't have to go
Little baby
Tell me you won't go
We'd be so good together if we had the time
Bein' alone's a nowhere state of mind
Lovin' ain't no crime, oh no
I see your man ain't here
He don't care
The way of the night has gone
We'll move on
Got to find a way
To face another day
I search the world
For someone I'll never find
Someone who ain't
The hurtin' kind
If you stay the night
We'll make the wrong seem right
So come on now
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
We'll burn in love tonight
Sweet little baby
Oh don't you go
You ain't so innocent, I know
I know your heart's like mine, oh yeah
And I will find the time
To make you mine
And if your love goes bad
If it makes you sad
I'll be back for more
At your door
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Before the mornin' light
We'll burn with love tonight
And when your man don't care
I will be there
Still be lovin' real good love
So baby now
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
There is no wrong or right
We'll burn with love
Rock me
Rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me

Roll me through the night

Roll me through the night
There is nothing left to do
But make sweet love to you
Come on and Rock me

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Great White is my all-time favorite band, period! The lyrics are actually, "Rock Me, Rock Me, Roll Me Through the Night."
This song is kinda strange because the situation is clearly about talking an unavailable woman into bed, but it comes off mostly like begging. Geez, the song is over seven minutes long and, even at the end, we're never really sure if he scored (LOL).
I agree with TabuuDi26's comment: "80s GLAM FOREVER!" While ScottBoy79, MMCammbells, and MagicBlue22 are correct that Great White were never "glam metal" nor "glam rock," Traveler in Stygian is correct that GW is in the same category as the bona fide glam bands, and c'mon, "glam" sounds so much better than "hair band."
But it rocks,and seriously is there anything else?
