Who am I to say you're wrong
For feeling what you feel
There's something in the way you talk
Like you've forgotten what is real
You don't have to prove you're strong
To face it on your own
Cause it'll steal your breath
It'll wear you out
It'll throw you to the ground.

There is a lighter day
Hold on, hold on
It's closer than you let yourself believe
Whoa-oh
When life cuts you like a blade
It's gone so wrong
You can't remember who you?re supposed to be
Hold on, hold on
To me

You can tell me anything
Your deepest darkest fears
I ain't gonna judge you baby
That's not why I'm here
You can lay your burden down
You can lay it down on me
And I'll take it all
I'll lift you up
I'll pass you to the sun

There is a lighter day
Hold on, hold on
It's closer than you let yourself believe
Whoa-oh
When life cuts you like a blade
It's gone so wrong
You can't remember who you?re supposed to be
Hold on, hold on
To me

To everything you're certain of
All the love that's right in front of you
Trouble always has a door
That you can break through

There is a lighter day
Hold on, hold on
It's closer than you let yourself believe
Whoa-oh
When life cuts you like a blade
It's gone so wrong
You can't remember who you're supposed to be
Hold on, hold on
To me

There is a lighter day
Hold on, hold on
It's closer than you let yourself believe
Whoa-oh
There is a lighter day
There is someone that you can turn to
Hold on, hold on
To me

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."

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

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
