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.
Everybody's hurtin', everybody knows it
Are you tryin' to stop it'
Everyone's watchin'
What are you gonna do'
Are you tryin' to stop it'
Everyone's watchin'
Everyone is conversin'
Everyone's listenin'
Oh, yeah, they were a part
He was a part and she was a part of it, oh, fallin' apart
Is anyone watchin'' Is anyone listenin'?
Are we listenin'?
And all I have is all of me
And it's all that I can give
I'm disappointed in hearts
With you our hearts will spill
Over in you, over in me, over in this
Oh, I never knew, they never knew
What you're going through
'Cause you got everybody thinkin'
There's nothin' wrong with you
And you fall apart 'cause you felt apart
And they were a part of it, oh, fallin' apart
Is anyone watchin'' Is anyone listenin'?
Are you listenin'?
And all I have is all of me
And it's all that I can give
I'm disappointed in hearts
With you our hearts will spill
Over in you, over in me, over in this
On dark and stormy days, somewhere it's glowin'
And even though I know I'm here, I know I'm goin'
Oh, you never stop, you just collide
Grasp onto your side, surprise and make it right, yeah
And all I have is all of me
And it's all that I can give
I'm disappointed in hearts
With you our hearts will spill
Over in you, over in me, over in this
And all I have is all of me
And it's all that I can give
I'm disappointed in hearts
With you our hearts will spill
Over in you, over in me, over in this
And all I have is all of me
And it's all that I can give
I'm disappointed in hearts
With you our hearts will spill
Over in you, over in me, over in this
Are you tryin' to stop it'
Everyone's watchin'
What are you gonna do'
Are you tryin' to stop it'
Everyone's watchin'
Everyone is conversin'
Everyone's listenin'
Oh, yeah, they were a part
He was a part and she was a part of it, oh, fallin' apart
Is anyone watchin'' Is anyone listenin'?
Are we listenin'?
And all I have is all of me
And it's all that I can give
I'm disappointed in hearts
With you our hearts will spill
Over in you, over in me, over in this

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

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.
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."

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,
so beautiful.
i love this song why anyone commented this? such a beautiful song :]
I think the first part of this song goes with "Do You feel"
There are problems in the world, what are you personally going to do about them.
i can't believe hardly anyones commented this!! this is probably one of my favorite songs on the do you feel album. it's about putting it all on the line for the one you love, holding nothing back and just being yourself; because after all that is all any of us can do. you can take it to have a religious meaning too; either way, it's a beautiful song.
pretty much the same feel as "do you feel", a song on his new cd. but at the same time, i get a vibe that it's about a person in particular. maybe someone who was very troubled, but not a lot of people took notice because the person didn't show their emotions. "Cause you've got everybody thinking there's nothing wrong with you"
rocket summer = amazinggg
i love this song and not only do i feel for it, but i lived it. this song nails it perfectly. its about tryong and fighting for something but the other person just doesn't care, and everyone's all a buzz about it. beautiful beautiful song
This song inspired me so much that I asked my parents as my 18th birthday present to let me get "All I have is all of me" on my right wrist and "And it's all that I can give" on my left.
This song is all about just doing the best you can, even if it's not enough. It's beautiful and moving. One of my favorites by Bryce.
loveeeee itttt
I LOVE THIS SONG.
The message generally is just that you have a lot more influence than you might think. People are always watching you and are always going to hear what you say and see how you react to things. If you have a bad attitude and it shows in your words and reactions, people are going to see that and be influenced in some way. Henceforth, "Collapse onto your side, so rise and make it right"
All that we have is who we are. We have to remember that and work hard to keep our hearts and attitudes in the right place. Not only for ourselves, but for the benefit of others as well.
