Oh spare me today
I've had enough of the hurry hurry
Just let the day rise easy
And take over

We're swimming and I keep going under
Had enough of the fog, sheets, and thunder
Can't we begin being bored and breezy?
See our way back into a clearing day

Oh save me today
Help me forget all the worry worry
Just split the sky and free me
To be golden

We're singing now and keep growing younger
Bed in canyons that have beat all our wonder
We can't conduct crack the cold, the crazy
Bring our light for our night
From seeing days

I wept when we parted
And wept when we united
In poverty, my love, we have everything

I wept when we parted
And wept when we united
In poverty, my love, we have everything

Let's go walk in the rain, love
Know our pleasures from pain
In poverty, my love, we have everything

Let's go walk in the rain, love
Know our pleasures from pain
In poverty, my love, we have everything

    the song says most of it, but i think it's about an unhappy relationship. she says, i want to go into the part of the relationship where we're bored, not the one that's rocky where i'm drowning. and she says, in poverty, my love, we have everything. and that means there's still a hope. but it's rocky!

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,

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.
