High life
Not now but soon,
The most beautiful light
Will wake us to pillow fighting excitement
Not now but soon,
Bright into
Every corner,
Satellites maneuver in beams of change
Standing by the best days of our lives,
Magnificent, the best days of our lives,
Big bang boom, the best days of our lives
They're coming right up
If we can just get through this one
Who said it was over?
It's as good as it gets
Well we've got a few tricks up our sleeves yet
If we swallow "it's all over" and open wide on these make-to-believe
Sullen, chewed up, sodden soliloquies,
Oh, we're sweet nothings anymore
Terrifying best, days of our lives
We're hanging on the best days of our lives
No two ways about it, best days of our lives
They're coming right up, if we can just get through this one.
I'll hang on grab onto your feet
Someone else holds tied to my shoelaces
When their trouser leg tears, runs and stops at the seam to keep us
Dangled together
Until help finds us here
I'll hang on grab onto your feet
Someone else holds tied to my shoelaces
When their trouser leg tears, runs and stops at the seam to keep us
Dangled together
Until help finds us here
Best days of our lives
Better be the best days of our lives
Bring on the best days of our lives
Coming right up, whoa
Coming right up
If we can just get through this one.

Light Up The Sky
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.
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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Well, it ended differently than I thought it would based on the previews, I do love the music though, and the sounds of immi running is awesome :3
If I had been listening to this from the complete cd, I'm afraid it would've got the "Closing In" treatment - that is, it's not a bad song and the lyrics are interesting (not much up for interpretation, but hey it was for a show!), but I feel it would've been overshadowed by more standout tracks -- it happened for me on S4Y with Closing In (and Daylight Robbery for the matter)
After you come down from the high of your favorite tracks, you start to appreciate songs like this. Luckily, this song has come out before the cd, so people will have time to warm up to it and let immi tweeking it more if she wished to do so.
