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 the end, a new era beckons
Settling the foundation of an infernal
dimension of wrath
A revelation strikes with new awareness
upon the masses
Veil of darkness unravel, a horrific sphere unfolds
An altering of the senses - to discover
What is behing light, beyond celestial slavery
Entangles the mind in dark waves, fiery & monotonous
Deep is the well of dark mystery
The enlightenment of madness presents itself
On the soil above a lower world
In everlasting ebony shades of the damned
Choirs of madness chant in agonny, as blood
flows furiously (through my veins)
Blurred visions – through a smoke-filled sky
With fists clenched, I gaze on through the ugly
The only right path
The surge of deconstruction casts light aside
The summoning at last
Deceiver – pioneer of this insight
Consume what is of joy
Consume what is of joy!
And enless rage until we dance on the
hypocrites’ grave
step on the crucifix
Ans speak the tongue of blasphemy
The shivery
Crawling, freezing through the innards & up the spine
The separating of this shell of flesh
& a dark spirituality
Do I believe?
It believes in me
Settling the foundation of an infernal
dimension of wrath
A revelation strikes with new awareness
upon the masses
Veil of darkness unravel, a horrific sphere unfolds
An altering of the senses - to discover
What is behing light, beyond celestial slavery
Entangles the mind in dark waves, fiery & monotonous
Deep is the well of dark mystery
The enlightenment of madness presents itself
On the soil above a lower world
In everlasting ebony shades of the damned
Choirs of madness chant in agonny, as blood
flows furiously (through my veins)
Blurred visions – through a smoke-filled sky
With fists clenched, I gaze on through the ugly
The only right path
The surge of deconstruction casts light aside
The summoning at last
Deceiver – pioneer of this insight
Consume what is of joy
Consume what is of joy!
And enless rage until we dance on the
hypocrites’ grave
step on the crucifix
Ans speak the tongue of blasphemy
The shivery
Crawling, freezing through the innards & up the spine
The separating of this shell of flesh
& a dark spirituality
Do I believe?
It believes in me

Fast Car

"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.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical

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.
wiki says it's about Angel Sanctuary, a manga series...(by Kaori Yuki, who has to be just a tad twisted) I'm inclined to believe that. This is sooo much like the books, where a huge battle between heaven and hell is going on, with many people doing what they think is right even though many of those things are wrong, and where innocence is just as easily massacred as evil.
In fact, purity and good take the biggest blows.
The song- I think it's about one person, or maybe many, coming to realise that their world is not what they thought, and opening their mind to the truth - that is deep and dark, and realising they've been living a lie. And that through it all, they have to stand tall and somehow keep going, even though most likely at the next step they'll be slaughtered.
if that makes any sense..
