Não chore ainda não, que eu tenho um violão
E nós vamos cantar
Felicidade aqui pode passar e ouvir
E se ela for de samba há de querer ficar
Seu padre toca o sino que é pra todo mundo saber
Que a noite é criança, que o samba é menino
Que a dor é tão velha que pode morrer
Olê, olê, olê, olá
Tem samba de sobra, quem sabe sambar
Que entre na roda, que mostre o gingado
Mas muito cuidado, não vale chorar

Não chore ainda não, que eu tenho uma razão
Pra você não chorar
Amiga, me perdoa, se eu insisto à toa
Mas a vida é boa para quem cantar
Meu pinho, toca forte que é pra todo mundo acordar
Não fale da vida, nem fale da morte
Tem dó da menina, não deixa chorar
Olê, olê, olê, olá
Tem samba de sobra, quem sabe sambar
Que entre na roda, que mostre o gingado
Mas muito cuidado, não vale chorar

Não chore ainda não, que eu tenho a impressão
Que o samba vem aí
É um samba tão imenso que eu às vezes penso
Que o próprio tempo vai parar pra ouvir
Luar, espere um pouco, que é pra o meu samba poder chegar
Eu sei que o violão está fraco, está rouco
Mas a minha voz não cansou de chamar
Olê, olê, olê, olá
Tem samba de sobra, ninguém quer sambar
Não há mais quem cante, nem há mais lugar
O sol chegou antes do samba chegar
Quem passa nem liga, já vai trabalhar
E você, minha amiga, já pode chorar

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

“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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
