Announcer: "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Jimi Hendrix Experience."

Jimi Hendrix: "I see that we meet again, hmm. Yeah, well, well, well. Dig, dig, I'd like to get something straight, we umm...we got tired of the experience, and every once in awhile were blowin' are minds too much, so we decided to change everything around. And I call it 'Gypsy sons and rainbows' for short. Nothin' but a band of gypsies. we have Billy Cox playin' bass, and um from Nashville, Tennessee we have Lary Lee playin' guitar over there, the other me. We got Juma playin' congos over there, Juma, and we have heart, err, uh Granny Goose, oh i'm sorry Mitch Mitchell on the drums over there, and we got Jerry Velez on the congos too. You got yours truely on Meat Whistle, what me worry? Give us about a minute and a half to tune up ok? Like we only had two rehearsals so we'll only do a primany rythiem thing."

Someone In The Background: "Jimi, are you high?"

Jimi: "I am high thank you. I am high, thank you baby."

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
