I'd heard your name, but never seen your face
Been touched before but never your embrace
Had a soul to lose and the world to gain
But then you whispered my name

And I heard the truth but never from your lips
Bought the lies of many counterfeits
Dreamed my dreams, but they were never in color
And I searched for you and many others

I was down for the count

Then I saw your face
Just a glimpse of your face, and my whole world changed
Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever
Changed forever now
Then I saw your face
One glimpse of your face, it's a whole new game
Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever
Yours forever now

If I could reach the stars, I could touch the sky
And if I spread my wings, I could almost fly
I had everything paper could buy
I was lost in my disguise

And if I played my role, they would feel my style
If I bought the night they would buy my smile
I've been runnin' this game for a million miles
Believin' my own lies

I was down, I was out

Then I saw your face
Just a glimpse of your face, and my whole world changed
Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever
Changed forever now
Then I saw your face
One glimpse of your face, it's a whole new game
Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever
Yours forever now

Then I saw your face

I was blinded by my selfish dreams
Everything ain't what it seems
From inside to out, there ain't no doubt
I been changed

Nothing short of satisfaction
Your love caused a change reaction
I can tell you this much I felt your touch
And I'm changed

When I was down for the count, your love surrounded me
Blink of an eye, I saw my destiny

Change, rearranged 'cause I couldn't maintain
The heart it took to even stay in the game
One look in your eyes even I realized
A fellow like me had been put down to size
To be built up in a better way, your way
Yahweh ain't about to fade
Bombastic, ain't no way to mask it
I saw your face, and my old way's blasted

Then I saw your face
Just a glimpse of your face, and my whole world changed
Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever
Changed forever now
Then I saw your face
One glimpse of your face, it's a whole new game
Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever
Yours forever now

Then I saw your face
Just a glimpse of your face, and my whole world changed
Then I saw your face

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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
Ed Sheeran
“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.

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.
