I wished upon a star,
and wondered where you are,
as all the stoplights are flashing by me,
passing by me.
This is the last nite I'll be home,
the last time I'll be alone,
and everyone is running by me,
running from me.
Time has passed me by,
and I cannot face
another day alone, and I've replaced
all the empty spaces on my own.

I crawled around the floor
and fell right out the door,
the glasses falling all around me.
They're falling on me.
Another show has fallen through,
another lonely nite with you;
the fucking story's still repeating
and my ears are bleeding.
Life has passed me by,
and time is moving on
without my half-glazed eyes being gone
and tonight, I'm waking up alone.

I don't want you to follow me home,
'cause all my insecurities
and all of my inequities
will leave me on my own.
And I'll try to breathe through
every single day I've been around,
as every chance that I have taken
has ended up with my eyes shaken off,
and I'm still alone.

It's a car-crash,
and I'm not alive.
I didn't survive through my last ride.
I wished there,
upon your star,
that this will be the last time I will breathe you in
tonight.
Crawl away from the wreckage you have made,
and bring me back to life.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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.

Magical
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.
