Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Everyone's a critic
But hey they really respect your talent
Have your manager call my manager
And we'll make records together
Love success and entertainment
There are certain connotations
It's a 'you give-we take' relationship
No, they wouldn't understand it
Come on now, how long you think
This is really gonna last
How long can you hold their attention
Before they move on to the next dance?
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
Coordinate the marketing
Label publicity touring
Consult the presentation
Go ahead put this in context
It's three points on production
Fifteen percent to management
Ten percent to the agent
Five percent legal representation
We gotta an insurance plan
To succeed the inevitable as far as you can
Gotta make your money while you got the chance
Do whatever it takes to sell it
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
But hey they really respect your talent
Have your manager call my manager
And we'll make records together
Love success and entertainment
There are certain connotations
It's a 'you give-we take' relationship
No, they wouldn't understand it
Come on now, how long you think
This is really gonna last
How long can you hold their attention
Before they move on to the next dance?
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside

Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside
On the inside, on the inside, on the inside
Do you wanna to know how it feels on the inside

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.
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"

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”
i really miss the yelling, i can't yet relate against me! old stuff to this new album.
