I been feelin low
Cause I been stuck inside my head
Please don't let me go feel like i'm Left out here for dead
See I been cryin all alone
Got no more tears left to shed
Mama told me just be strong
Get a grip and hold your head
Just hold yo head up gon be aight(Gone be aight)
Just hold yo head up we gon be aight (Gone be aight)
Just hold yo head up gon be aight(Gone be aight)
Just hold yo head up
Just hold yo head up
Get in my bag and I write the songs
That's the shit that I be on
I ain't trynna text nobody
I just wanna be alone
And I can't really trust nobody
I don't know what they be on
That shit disturbin my soul
So I gotta keep it close
Let it blow (bahhh)
Cause if they try me in this bitch
Then it's gon be a fuckin problem
I been this way since just a kid
Lotta shit i'm dealin wit
And mama used to leave me in the crib all alone
And I never knew my pops
Cause my pops was never home
That nigga gone
And now I sit up in the crib
Thinkin too myself like damn
Like if I seen you on the street
Would you know who the fuck I am
It's aight tho, It don't matter
Gotta focus, on this cheddar
On my grind I- never settle
I'm just hopin I get better
I been feelin low
Cause I been stuck inside my head
Please don't let me go feel like i'm Left out here for dead
See I been cryin all alone
Got no more tears left to shed
Mama told me just be strong
Get a grip and hold your head
Just hold your head up we gon be aight
Just hold your head up we gon be aight (Be aight)
Just hold yo head up we gon be aight (Gon be aight yeah)
Just hold yo head up we gon be aight (Gon be aight uhhh)
Just hold your head up
(Gone be aight yeahhh)
Just hold yo
Just hold yo head up gon be aight
Just hold yo
Gon be aight

    Can't believe noone commented on this one yet! One of my favourite feelgood songs I think it's like 'Hey, heads up I like you, you have influence over my feelings' Just one viewpoint :)

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"

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,

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
