Let's go
I flew down south over the mountains today
And I'll be back, and I'll be back
When I can push those mountains out of the way
I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember when my dad walked in on me
I was sitting cross legged on the bedroom floor looking at a couple of G's
With a bogie on my lip and a ski on the ground, we're not a cuppa quarter beans
Not been back to that house since that day
But the light gon' turn with the key
You gotta go if you wanna don't go, but tomorrow you gotta leave
You gotta go down south where the air's a little better, son, so you can learn how to breathe

So I flew down south over the mountains today
And I'll be back, and I'll be back
When I can push those mountains out of the way
And I flew down south, yeah, flew down today
And I'll be back, and I'll be back
When I can push those mountains out of the way

I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember shaking when the morning began
I remember, I remember the second I got better, well I left Dodge and ran
I got sick thinking 'bout life alone, like the back bone without the muscle
Like the bruises and broken nose that emerged from my potessecle
See I don't plan to live my whole life o'er the missing piece to this puzzle
If I'mma make Salt Lake City tonight some way I'mma have to hustle
So I guess we head out, foot down, as I choose to sat down
Time to let this little slide fade into the background

So I flew down south over the mountains today
And I'll be back, and I'll be back
When I can push those mountains out of the way
And I flew down south, yeah, flew down today
And I'll be back, and I'll be back
When I can push those mountains out of the way

I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember the deep end swimming with the sharks
Then weekend for these freshins' smoking, blowin' in the park
Waiting till the sun sets on the hillside to be alone in the dark
Another ex-AA marijuana junkie spits out a starry a-tune
I'd tighten those laces up honey if, if I was you
And I'd stop talking about moving mountains boy, if I was you

And I guess, I guess I flew down south over the mountains today
And I'll be back, and I'll be back
When I can push those mountains out of the way
And I flew down south, yeah, flew down today
And I'll be back, and I'll be back
When I can push those mountains out of the way

So I flew down south, yeah, flew down today
And I'll be back, and I'll be back
When I can push those mountains out of the way
And I flew down south, yeah, flew down today
And I'll be back, and I'll be back
When I can push those mountains out of the way

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,

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.
