Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
We're getting higher every time that we love
A little closer to the things we fall back on
If you come over, then together, willing
We'll take over the world
You call me closer
I said, "Maybe, yeah,"
But I'm proven wrong
By all the things we talk about
The summer air is here
So get your dress on
And dance around like no one cares
Come on, come on, come on
You know you've gotta
Come on, come on, come on and celebrate
'Cause we are together, made for each other
We can stand alone
And now no one can touch us
We're falling faster
Will you think about it?
If I fall over, will you catch me, baby?
'Cause there's an awful lot of people waiting
To get their hands on everything we've got
Come on, come on, come on
You know you've gotta
Come on, come on, come on and celebrate
'Cause we are together, made for each other
We can stand alone
We can stand alone
And now no one can touch us
And I'll be singing
'Cause you're all I need
And I'll be singing
'Cause you're all I need
We're getting higher every time that we love
A little closer to the things we fall back on
If you come over, then together, willing
We'll take over the world
Come on, come on, come on
You know you've gotta
Come on, come on, come on
'Cause we are together, made for each other
We can stand alone
(No one, no one can touch us)
And now no one can touch us
A little closer to the things we fall back on
If you come over, then together, willing
We'll take over the world
You call me closer
I said, "Maybe, yeah,"
But I'm proven wrong
By all the things we talk about
The summer air is here
So get your dress on
And dance around like no one cares
Come on, come on, come on
You know you've gotta
Come on, come on, come on and celebrate
'Cause we are together, made for each other
We can stand alone
And now no one can touch us
We're falling faster
Will you think about it?
If I fall over, will you catch me, baby?
'Cause there's an awful lot of people waiting
To get their hands on everything we've got
Come on, come on, come on
You know you've gotta
Come on, come on, come on and celebrate
'Cause we are together, made for each other
We can stand alone
We can stand alone
And now no one can touch us
And I'll be singing
'Cause you're all I need
And I'll be singing
'Cause you're all I need
We're getting higher every time that we love
A little closer to the things we fall back on
If you come over, then together, willing
We'll take over the world
Come on, come on, come on
You know you've gotta
Come on, come on, come on
'Cause we are together, made for each other
We can stand alone
(No one, no one can touch us)
And now no one can touch us

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
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.
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 is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Wow. I just dowloaded two of their songs and they fit me perfectly! I've had two best friends for the longest time but I've lost one of them. This song describes my real best friend, and I've Got A Feeling describes my ex best friend. These two songs are surprisingly helpful.
