Said the white belts to the corduroys. Can't you hear the white noise flowing from the faucets and dripping down the drains? How many licks would it take to get to the center of your reverb tank? And don't it sound real nice? But how many times before you die? Before they find you still high with a sword stuck in his side? In the creepy camps. spilling over highway ramps. All the way back in the tall grass. Right along the riverbanks. They've got cowboys without horses. They've got pirates without planks. They've got pushers without arms. They've got soldiers without tanks. Breaking bread and giving thanks to the thrashcore giants that keep switching up the circle pit. Big ups to the people that are faking like they're getting it, shouting out to people who are barely even showing it. I think that you look really beautiful. Said the leather pants to the leather vest: I've only been in Fresno once. It was for Fresno Fest. It was the best. Informative workshops got me heading towards success. I used to be a mess. In Fresno I got blessed. And then I was a mess again. But up in Friendly Fridley I got blessed again. It didn't seem that funny when I was terrified and twenty. Ain't you ever heard of the domino effect? Its the thing that kills the kids when the kids get kind of wrecked. And kids connect with heavy tech and swollen necks. And they let the thugs collect. What did you expect? A trench coat and a tape deck? Dirty words in a different dialect? Dirty eyes in an irritated dialation? And I passed thru the wheat on the way to the train and it felt kind of sweet. The ambulances trampled on the amber waves of grain. And we laid on the seats. Purple Mountain majesty yielded the Sugar Mountain prophecy into The Needle and the Damage Done. 4 and 3 and 2 and 1. We got all hung up on the fruited plains. We got all hung up on your Fruity plans. We got all hopped up on some hippy jams. We got all cut up by some hippy scams. Way too many windowpanes. We washed up in the river. We saw a snake swimming across the top of the water. We crawled up to the roadside. Tried flagging down a driver. Couldn't get a taker until we finally found our savior. Who'd just gotten out for guns and good behavior. Freaking out on Phenobarbitols. Said the diva to her diaphragm "Dearest darling. I'm feeling diabolical". In 1988 I wasn't straight but I was positive. Hanging out at shows I had to prove myself to lots of kids. Kids were taking hits and there wasn't much alternative. In 1989 I wasn't straight but I was positive. Hanging out at shows I had to prove myself to lots of kids. Kids were taking hits and there wasn't much alternative. In 1991 I wasn't straight but I got negative. Hanging out at shows I had to prove myself to too many kids. Because kids were talking shit and trying to get alternative.

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.

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"
