In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Yeah, Ace Hood (woah)
What's up baby? (Woah, oh)
We the Best, huh
So I had a few things in mind (woah, oh)

But we should be body to body
Body to body (Mr. Hood)

Uh, picture your body soakin', bath water
No panties on, come up out them leg warmers (ooh)
Wrap up your hair (hair), leave on your heels (heels)
Kissin' you while I whisper, "Shawty how it feels?"
Let ya mind wonder, oh, you're thinkin' dirty?
I was thinkin' you can ride me, Miss Kentucky Derby (haha)
Why dream about it? Let's take advantage
My body on your body, hope that you can manage (yes)
Gotta moanin', damn it, feels good
Pullin' on her hair to let her know I'm still hood (right)
Damn right (damn right), serve her the real

But I know your body got me focused, I'm just so sedated
And I guarantee I do you better than your past or latest (ow)
Body to body (body), wet as Dasani (woo)

Asked her what she's thinkin', she replied that I'm a beast (woo)
Yeah, she replied that I'm a beast (ah)
Got it locked between the sheets and even in the streets
Baby, you don't have to try to read my mind
'Cause you know I wanna get it in, yeah

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

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,

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.
