Let me introduce myself, my names yasine
Been a Muslim my whole life and I aint ever been no terrorist
Why would I watch TV all they do is try to embarrass us
9/11 was disastrous, fuck those devil advocates
My religion is peace love and happiness
The shock of being televised for free
Because bright lights and dead bodies make for great TV
The world is panic-in, Mr. bush is mad again
Watching them bombs drop makes me sick to my abdomen
What doesn’t kill you can only make you strong
Then I feel like I’m carrying the weight of the world with one arm
While bombs are being dropped from planes, media affects our brains
Remember innocent children being slain, and I feel the pain and the bloodshed
How many more will end up dead
My brother Mohamed can’t get through customs,
Harassed and spit upon, the price for being Muslim
Fuck your sympathy don’t look at my differently, don’t repeat history

In this day and age, is rage and life destruction
Liposuction and breast implants,
Like a Hollywood star with her lips and chest enhanced
Its just plastic surgery for the less advanced
White lies faith on religion sex in churches
Politicians sniffing white lies behind closed curtains
Over paid athletes stick steroids in ass cheeks
Million dollar salaries depend on player’s stat sheets
The young and homeless live amongst the trash heaps
Last week’s losers forgotten, dead stiff and rotten
Like the corpse of Andy cotton
They say peace sells but whose buying

In these days and times, and the public loves it
They can’t get enough of it, think anything else is rubbish
Mp3’s and burnt Cds lead’s us to believe that music is now free
The industry is in a panic major labels running frantic
The world’s best mechanic couldn’t fix it
Empty seat’s means kids can’t afford a ticket
And it’s a problem like teenage love without a condom

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
