Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Are you listening, Javelina?
Every corner of the coast is still clear
All dressed up with some medicine for luck
How I hope that you're still here when I return
Burning bridges is a form of suicide
I saw the fires as the ghost of my life
Passed me by and there's nowhere you can hide
From the lessons or the lies that bind them
I'm so tired
I've had enough
If there's one thing I've learned
You'll always get burned
But you'll never give it up
Can we count on our conversations
to restore us like energon cubes
Made one wish for a permanent kiss
That would echo through these bones like arsenic
I can figure out the point of anything
Just not as quick as I can mess up my life
With all my dreams hooked to hospital machines
I think, "let's try redefining beautiful."
I'm so tired
I've had enough
If there's one thing I've learned
You'll always get burned
But you'll never give it up
This is the best that it will get
(Yeah yeah yeah, give it up, give it up)
This is the best that it will get
(Yeah yeah yeah, give it up)
I can figure out the point of anything
I can figure out the point of anything

You'll always get burned
But you'll never give it up
I'm so tired
I've had enough
If there's one thing I've learned
You'll always get burned

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
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"
took all MY dreams, hooked to hospital machines, sure that was a typo though :D

my favourite so far
'Made one wish for a permanent kiss That would echo through these bones like arsenic'
genius
my definite favorite from the new album. it's simply amazing...
javelina? haha..
the best line for me is
"lets try redefining beautiful"
its brilliant, just sounds cool.
and its like if your laid ill in hospital (possibly close to death- ie "relying on hospital machines" to keep you alive) then you need to really think about what beautiful is and what is important in life
Oh my goodness the Transformer references on the album make me giggle :)
is this album as good as commit this to memory and i am the movie?
commit this to memory is probly best album yet and probalby my favorite album. but this hasta be 2nd
It's not as good as their first two albums BestWombat. It is still good and growing on me, but I prefereed the more consistant rocking of I Am the Movie.
