Oh
Ohh, whoa, ohh

I love to see you walk into the room
Body shining, lighting up the place
And when you talk, everybody stops
'Cause they know you know just what to say and
The way that you protect your friends
Baby, I respect you for that
And when you grow, you take everyone you love along
I love that shit

Don't fly me away
Don't need to buy a diamond key
To unlock my heart
You shelter my soul
You're my fire when I'm cold
I want you to know

You had me at, "Hello"
(Hello) hello
(Hello) hello
(Hello)
You had me at, "Hello" (hello)
(Hello) hello
(Hello) hello
(Hello, hello)
It was many years ago (ago)
Baby, when you (when you)
Stole my cool (stole my cool, my cool)
'Cause you had me at, "Hello"
(Hello) hello
(Hello) hello
(Hello, hello)

I get so excited when you travel with me
Baby, while I'm on my grind
And never would I ever let my hustle
Come between me and my family time and
You keep me humble out of this hype
'Cause you know there's more to life
And if I need you, you will be here
You will make the sacrifice

Don't fly me away
Don't need to buy a diamond key
To unlock my heart
You shelter my soul (ohh)
You're my fire when I'm cold (ohh)
Just want you to know

You had me at, "Hello"
(Hello) hello
(Hello) hello
(Hello)
You had me at, "Hello" (hello)
(Hello) hello
(Hello) hello
(Hello, hello)
It was many years ago (ago)
Baby, when you (when you)
Stole my cool (stole my cool, my cool)
'Cause you had me at, "Hello"
(Hello) hello
(Hello) hello
(Hello, hello)

Gotta feel you and be near you
You're the air that I breathe to survive
Gotta hold you, wanna show you
That without you my sun doesn't shine
(You don't have to try so hard for me to love you)
Boy, without you my life just ain't the same
(You don't have to try so hard for me to love you)

You had me at, "Hello"
(Hello) hello
(Hello) hello
(Hello)
You had me at, "Hello" (hello)
(Hello) hello
(Hello) hello
(Hello, hello)
It was many years ago (ago)
When you (when you)
Stole my cool (stole my cool, my cool)
'Cause you had me at, "Hello"
(Hello) hello
(Hello) hello
(Hello, hello)

It was many years ago
Baby, when you
Stole my cool
You had me at, "Hello"
Hello
Hello

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
