On the night of April the 14th
A little girl walked to new york, new york
Her best friend jonny said
It'd be impossible 'cause
Seattle is too far away from new york, new york
Seattle is too far away from new york, new york

She only talked to jonny
Talked to him that night
Only talked to jonny
Then she walked to new york

It happened eight years ago today
I'm the little girl walked to new york, new york
My best friend jonny said
It'd be impossible 'cause
Seattle is too far away from new york, new york
Seattle is too far away from new york, new york

Chorus:
She only talked to jonny
Talked to him that night
Only talked to jonny

She only talked to jonny
Talked to him that night
Only talked to jonny
Then she walked to new york

It was hard for them that I was gone
Only jonny knew why I fled to new york
He was my best friend jonny yeah
I know I loved him 'cause
Seattle is too far from new york, new york
Seattle is too far from new york, new york

Chorus

Oh jonny...

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
