I'll Change For You (with Steve Earle)

Rosanne Cash

I'll change for you
I'll change for you
I'll change for you
I'll turn night into day

An' I'll change for you
(I don't care what the books say)
I'll change for you
(I don't care what my friends say
I'll change for you
An' I won't make you pay

'Cause everything reminds me of you
A baby's feet, an old man's smile
Silent scream and lover's cry
Till I can't do nothing

But change for you
(An' all the rules that were lies)
I'll change for you
(I sit an' watch while they burn)
I'll change for you
I'll be all that you need

'Cause everything reminds me of you
A baby's feet, an old man's smile
Silent scream and lover's cry
Till I can't do nothing
But change for you

I'll lie by your side an' whisper your name
I'll clock all your dreams and knock over rails
I'll let go my past, write your name in my skin
I'll travel through time to love you again

An' I'll change for you
(I'll just wait for you wherever)
I'll change for you
(An' watch you lean back too much)
I'll change for you
I'll turn night into day

I'll change for you
(An' I'll give it my best)
I'll change for you
(An' I won't stop till you rest)
I'll change for you
An' I won't make you pay

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.
