Strawberries, cherries
And an angel´s kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made
From all these things

I walked in town
On silver spurs that jingled too
And sang a song
That I had sang just for a few
She saw my silver spurs
And said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh summer wine

Strawberries, cherries
And an angel´s kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made
From all these things

Take off your silver spurs
And help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh summer wine

My eyes grew heavy and my lips
They could not speak
I tried to get up
But I could not find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Oh summer wine

Strawberries, cherries
And an angel´s kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made
From all these things
Take off your silver spurs
And help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh summer wine

When we woke up the sun was shining in our eyes
My silver spurs were gone
My head felt twice the size
We took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
And left us craving for more summer wine
Oh summer wine

(This song was originally performed by Nancy Sinatra, features Bono on co-lead vocals, and can be found on the Corrs album, the Corrs Live From Dublin.

    I made my mother listen to this one because she would'nt understand why I loved U2 so much. She asked me if I was sure this was Bono, because she never knew he could also sound like this! She obviously never bothered to really listen to U2. Anyway, I like this song a lot because it is a different side of Bono we don't often get to hear (except maybe for I've got you under my skin and When the stars go blue). I really like his voice, it's very low and if I would'nt know better I would think it was a real silver spurred cowboy!

    For the meanings of this song I think there raher obvious. She seduced him with her summerwine and stole his silver spurs in the end.

    What a beautiful song!!!! Although, to be honest, I'm refering to the version of Nancy Sinatra...

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"

Mountain Song
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."

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
