For a day I forgot my life was scripted, and consequently learned to live. It was summer, school had just let out and it was still me and my friends against this harsh yet beatable world. Life threw us curves and we swung with our eyes closed, we hung from the bedpost, pretended there was nothing we didn't know

So call on the angels in the outfield. Wave your arms if you believe in miracles. I might be alone now in chasing this dream down, but don't tell me, cause I swear nothing's 'out of bounds'.

For a night I forgot about sleep and drifted, into the reality I can't live. It was winter, a blizzard had just passed through but it was still me and most of my friends against the cold yet conquerable world. Life struck us a high note and we sung with our mouths closed, we struck our hero's pose, we ignored what we didn't know

So call on all your superheros. Wave your arms if you believe in miracles. I might be the only one still trying to fly away from this town, but don't tell me, cause I'd rather be lost then found.

For a second I remembered the reason why I live. It was February, the clock had just struck midnight and it was just me and the girl that meant everything, turning against me. She sent me flying, blinded by a light, I hung in the air, suspended in the sky, and I stopped pretending, and wondering why

So I called on my sense of hope. Waved my arms cause I believed in miracles. I was the only one still on my side, fighting this fight, the only member of my team, but don't tell me, cause that's all I need to live this dream.

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."

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
