I Want You

Danko Jones

I'm gonna leave my situation in the morning
Why don't you jump into my car and we'll hit the road
I got no place I'm going no destination
When I leave I ain't never going home

Let's just drive into the sunset no expectations
And when we leave we tell nobody no one will know
It's bout time we got the hell out and made the distance
And with you riding shotgun I'm always home

When everybody said I couldn't
You said that I could

I wanna leave, I want out
I ain't confused I have no doubt
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out

I've grown tired of my place I ain't going nowhere
I think I made up my mind long time ago
So the question is are you coming with me?
I can do this better with you than all alone

'Cause when everybody said I couldn't
You said that I could

I wanna leave, I want out
I'm not confused I have no doubt
I wanna leave, I want out
No need to scream or jump and shout
I wanna leave, I want out
I'm not confused I have no doubt
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out

I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out

    Danko should be the agony aunt for every young nervous teenager who has no idea of how to talk to women!

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
