Welcome to the story of my life
It's too short to not think about,
Anything that's right for me Now and that's you being by my side,
And so I'll put up my dukes and give it a try

[Chorus]
Oh Marjorie what have you done to me?
You're all I wanna see
And you're probably the greatest girl I'll ever meet
And over anything else
It's you I'll be missin',
Let me explain what I'm going through here,
In Ohio I will miss you my dear,
I just wish that I could be nearer to the girl that makes time disappear

No one compares to a girl I knew,
Make my days seem brighter
and the skies more blue,
So I'll wait forever
Even if I have to,
And so just sing on baby and We'll make it through

[Chorus]
Oh Marjorie what have you done to me?
You're all I wanna see,
And you're probably the greatest girl I'll ever meet,
And over anything else
It's you I'll be missin',
Let me explain what I'm going through here,
In Ohio I will miss you my dear,
I just wish that I could be nearer to the girl that makes time disappear

Hold on baby it's not over yet,
Here's one thing I won't regret,
It's the times we've shared or the night we met,
And I'll never take it back or take it for granted,
Listen close and I'm sure you'll find
Exactly what's going on in mind,
So far away but not far from home,
'Cause home's not just a place you dwell in,
It's also the feelin' you get when you talk to that someone on the phone,
And she happens to be

[Chorus]
Oh Marjorie what have you done to me?
You're all I wanna see
And you're probably the greatest girl I'll ever meet
And over anything else
It's you I'll be missin',
Let me explain what I'm going through here,
In Ohio I will miss you my dear,
I just wish that I could be nearer to the girl that makes time disappear

Oh Marjorie what have you done to me?
You're all I wanna see
And you're probably the greatest girl I'll ever meet
And over anything else
It's you I'll be missin',
Let me explain what I'm going through here,
In Ohio I will miss you my dear,
I just wish that I could be nearer to the girl that makes time disappear

    I think this song is just about a girl that this guy really loves to be around but she's living somewhere far away.

    Cody Carson (the singer) wrote this song for the girl he was going out with at the time that he left to go to college in Ohio. He posted a video of him singing it solo on youtube and it got so many views he was able to get it on itunes. when "set it off" became a band they recorded this song with the whole band and put it on their debut CD.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
