I hear in the Aztec night birds flying overhead Flying far away & leaving me alone Alone in the Aztec night Disowned in the Aztec night. My destination is unclear Each day I ride around I read magazines & books However, never buy I thing From the big store Aztec moon I will climb every mountain Every one before me placed & I will climb up to the stars For to the stars I'm not disgraced Aztec moon I'm going to catch a train To take me far away Far away where I will live alone But never be alone Aztec moon I will climb every mountain Every one before me placed & I will climb up to the stars For to the stars I'm not disgraced Aztec moon

    Stephen Duffy: 'It's quite astounding now but I thought you could take great chunks of The Great Gatsby and sing it. The lyrics to Aztec Moon are from Mexico City Blues by Jack Kerouac. All I'd done at that stage was listen to records and read books. I had no idea about writing from your own experience. I bought my bass from a junk shop on Saltley Gate, I was so embarrassed I didn't play it and it's only when I got it home that I realised it was fretless.

    Though Duran Duran borrows their name from the film Barbarella, perhaps the film borrows the name from Diego Duran.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
