Viel zu oft beherrschte mich die Angst vorm Fallen
Nur einmal wollte ich erneuert sein
Viel zu lang hielt die Furcht mich in den Krallen
Supernova, dies gehört mir ganz allein

Viel zu lang ließ ich mich von euch verbiegen
Schon so lang tobt der Wunsch in meinem Blut
Nur einmal laß ich los, denn ich will Fliegen
Supernova wie der Phoenix aus der Glut

Komm mir nicht zu nahe, sonst kann's geschehen
Daß wir beide lichterloh in Flammen stehen

Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Auch wenn danach nur kalte Asche übrig ist
Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Selbst wenn do meinen Namen morgen schon vergißt
Heißes Licht I'm Himmelsflug
Mit dem letzten Atemzug will ich brennen
Ich will brennen

Viel zu oft bestimm ich nicht mein eigenes Leben
Nur einmal will ich zum Himmel schreien
Nur einmal will ich hoch zur Sonne schweben
Supernova, und mich von mir selbst befreien

Komm mir nicht zu nah, sonst kann's geschehen
Daß wir beide lichterloh in Flammen stehen

Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Auch wenn danach nur kalte Asche übrig ist
Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Selbst wenn do meinen Namen morgen schon vergißt
Heißes Licht I'm Himmelsflug
Mit dem letzten Atemzug will ich brennen
Ich will brennen

Berühr mich lieber nicht, es hat keinen Zweck
Sonst reißt der Strom aus Feuer dich noch mit mir weg
Bleib mir lieber fern, weil es sonst überspringt
Und weil das Fieber auch in deine Seele dringt
Faß mich nicht an, sonst kann's passieren
Daß wir uns in der Hitze dieser Nacht verlieren

Komm mir nicht zu nah, sonst kann's geschehen
Daß wir beide lichterloh in Flammen stehen

Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Auch wenn danach nur kalte Asche übrig ist
Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Selbst wenn do meinen Namen morgen schon vergißt
Heißes Licht I'm Himmelsflug
Mit dem letzten Atemzug will ich brennen
Ich will brennen

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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,

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.
