jag sitter på ett tåg
i en ödslig vagn
och det luktar lite dig om mig
jag har en ambition
att jag ska bort nånstans
det är samma syfte som jag haft med dig

jag blev trött på mig själv
jag blev så destruktiv
och du fick inte följa med
jag har en situation
med ett annat liv
och du har ingen del i det

jag ska ingenstans
jag bara bryter lite is
det sägs att allting vänder
och det stämmer väl på sätt och vis
när en stannfågel ger sig av

jag bor enkelt igen
det är lite tomt ibland
men jag saknar ingenting akut
jag låter saker ta tid
jag har en öppen hand
det här är slutet på en lycklig början

i en annan del
av samma avlånga land
där löven inte fallit än
hösten tar sin lilla
tid ibland
jag kanske tittar till en gammal vän

jag ska ingenstans
jag bara bryter lite is
det sägs att allting vänder
och det stämmer väl på sätt och vis
när en stannfågel ger sig av

jag har lämnat mina rader
så länge jag minns
med ett tvivelaktigt mål
för att du syns överallt
är det inte säkert att du finns
det är en konst att bara fylla hål

jag minns vad jag minns
och jag har glömt vad jag glömt
det behöver inte ens ha hänt
det kan ha varit länge sen
men jag kan också ha drömt
det är en känsla som jag alltid känt

jag tror det lugnar sig nu
alla tvära kast
det lilla hjärtat det pulserar än
jag har suttit här och lyssnat
till en sträng som brast
nu har jag lust att ta ton igen

jag ska ingenstans
jag bara bryter lite is
det sägs att allting vänder
och det stämmer väl på sätt och vis
när en stannfågel ger sig av

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,

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.
