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.
We're crashing cars we used to share
With summer girls
With summer hair
We're driving 'round chasing the stars
But the party's busted up
Before it ever starts
[Chorus]
I'll never let you go
Don't ever forget
Tell me you'll remember
Forever young
I'll never let you fall
It's not over yet
You and me forever
Forever young
We're forever young
Stop making plans, start making sense
Don't you believe a word they said
Sparked up sparked up like a book of matches
Falling through the night
Rising from the ashes
[Chorus]
Don't come any closer
Don't tell me it's over
Don't kiss me goodbye
Here we are, am I taking this too hard?
Don't say it's easy
The hardest part is leavin'
Don't you wonder why
Suddenly, we're all running out of time
[Chorus]
We're forever young
We're forever young
With summer girls
With summer hair
We're driving 'round chasing the stars
But the party's busted up
Before it ever starts
[Chorus]
I'll never let you go
Don't ever forget
Tell me you'll remember
Forever young
I'll never let you fall
It's not over yet
You and me forever
Forever young
We're forever young
Stop making plans, start making sense
Don't you believe a word they said
Sparked up sparked up like a book of matches
Falling through the night
Rising from the ashes
[Chorus]
Don't come any closer
Don't tell me it's over
Don't kiss me goodbye
Here we are, am I taking this too hard?
Don't say it's easy
The hardest part is leavin'
Don't you wonder why
Suddenly, we're all running out of time
[Chorus]
We're forever young
We're forever young

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.

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
The Night We Met
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.
don't come any closer, don't tell me it's over don't kiss me goodbye here we are, am I taking this too hard? don't say it's easy, the hardest part is leaving don't you wonder why, suddenly we're all running out of time?
those lines wrap up this song. yeah on the surface it's all about having fun and being young but i think in the end the people you spend high school with you end up caring about much more than you think you do. and in the end when eveyone goes their seperate ways it's a lot harder than you expected. you expect to be really excited but you aren't in some ways. at least that's how it was for me. and i was always asking myself "am i taking this too hard?"
