Catching Sparks

The Spill Canvas

Slip, trip, and fall..
Well I'm down for the count,
I can feel the numbing in my fingertips.
I'm catching sparks,
And they're tickling my cheeks,
From the chemistry between us.

The colored lights are spilling on your face,
And the swaying of your hips leaves me speechless.
The dance floor's empty as my heart begins to race..
Please don't stop 'cause I need this!

I'm floating..
I can feel it..
Higher and higher!
I'm floating..
I can feel it..
Seventeen inches off the ground!

Slip, trip, and kiss me!
Oh I'm gaining back my senses,
tasting the air that surrounds you!
I'm catching sparks,
And they're tickling my cheeks,
From the chemistry between us.

The colored lights are spilling on your face
And the swaying of your hips leaves me speechless
The dance floor's empty as my heart begins to race
Please don't stop 'cause I need this!

I'm floating..
I can feel it..
Higher and higher!
I'm floating..
I can feel it..
Seventeen inches off the ground!

I place my hand behind the small of your back
and we're dancing..(dancing..dancing..dancing..)
I place my hand behind the small of your back
and we're dancing..(dancing)..we're dancing..(we're dancing)
I place my hand behind the small of your back
and we're dancing! (we're dancing!) we're dancing! (we're dancing!)
I place my hand behind the small of your back
and we're dancing! we're dancing!
I place my hand behind the small of your back
and we're dancing..

    Slip, trip, and fall.. Well I'm down for the count, I can feel the numbing in my fingertips. I'm catching sparks, And they're tickling my cheeks, From the chemistry between us. ♥

    every time I hear this song, my heart aches. I just went through something horrible, and my heart still hurts like hell. but this song reminds me that things are getting better and the chemistry between my boyfriend and I is unbreakable.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"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.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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 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.

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.
