By the time that the songs came on we were stoned out of our minds
I know it's only rock and roll but it's the soundtrack of our lives
And no matter how crazy life gets I can feel right at home sweet home
Every time I put that record on

The first time I got a whole lotta love I wanted a whole lot more
In the back seat baby made me feel like maybe we were knocking on heavens door
Walk this way still to this day makes me wanna drink all night long
Every time I put that record on

Turn, turn, turn it up loud, light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
Turn, turn, turn the page were back to that first time and place
When you felt like you were living in that song
You put that record on

Life's been a crazy train, barely kept it on the tracks
If you think it's the shame that I act this way blame it on 'Back in Black'
Thought I did everything I did and I forget what I done wrong
Every time I put that record on

Turn, turn, turn it up loud light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
Turn, turn, turn the page were back to that first time and place
When you felt like you were living in that song
Put that record on

Let it play
Take me back
To yesterday
Come on baby sing

Turn, turn, turn it up loud light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
Turn, turn, turn the page were back to that first time and place
When you felt like you were living in that song
Put that record on

    Favorite song by them, nowadays. Such a feel good song about the classics. I love the interweaving of the albums, songs and artist names... Semi-clever.

    In a live video for the song...the singer asks if people remember that song that was playing when people had a milestone...its just a fun song.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
