I Remember That I Wanted To Kiss/Kill You

Manchester Orchestra

I remember that I wanted to kiss you
To climb into your mouth for relief
In a minute I will remember
The woman that I forced you to be
Is coming out one of these days eventually
And I hope to God, yeah, I hope you forgive me

I remember a dead beat of angels
Can you feel the relief?
I felt an angry mob full of sisters
Crying hard and begging to leave
If you could ever be what I actually needed you to be
Then we might just make it eventually

I remember that I wanted to kill you
To dig into your chest for relief
But in a minute I remember
The woman that I forced you to be
Has got a mind probably smarter than me
So I'm gonna have to pay for this dumb shit I keep doing

    you can find this one here: megaupload.com/. it's marked as one of the 'new song's (i think it's the third one? if i remember correctly). it was recorded around december '08, though, so idk about it being something that'll end up on the new album.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
