The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Someday I'll feel no pain
Someday I won't have a brain
They'll take away the part that hurts and let the rest remain
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
Someday we'll all be rich
Someday I won't listen to you bitch
I'll turn up the volume so you can hear all the shit we play just for you
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
Someday I'll feel no pain
Someday I won't have a brain
They'll take away the part that hurts and let the rest remain
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please
I don't wanna be dead so fix it
Someday I won't have a brain
They'll take away the part that hurts and let the rest remain
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
Someday we'll all be rich
Someday I won't listen to you bitch
I'll turn up the volume so you can hear all the shit we play just for you
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
Someday I'll feel no pain
Someday I won't have a brain
They'll take away the part that hurts and let the rest remain
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please
I don't wanna be dead so fix it

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
im my mind, the rollins band (for obvious reasons) and rise against should be the only bands to cover black flag, cause ive heard other bands try. Rollins' and RA do the songs justice
No! Good Riddance did a cover of "My War" that was incredible!
Yes, Good Riddance is awesome. Very underrated band.
black flag cover...pretty good
awesome black flag cover!!!
dude!! best cover on Tony Hawk!!! more than holds up to the original. actually, i think Tim's deeper voice makes this song more aggressive!!
I've heard another band cover this song well, but I can't remember the name of it.
I love Black Flag and I like Rise Against, so I wanna see what this sounds like.
