A la vida guiara constantemente
Ante el paso imperturbable esta el reloj
Bajo las mismas razones pertinentes
El viaero conociendo la ciudad

Cabe ver la noche el sol y tierra extraña
Con la firme persistencia como pies
Contra la luz pegajosa y aledaña
El viajero conociendo la ciudad

De su via ha extraido la arrogancia
Desde luego su camino es poseer
En su ruta no hay inercia e ignorancia
El viajero asimilando la ciudad

Ciudad y otra ciudad
Gastando su inquietud
Comprando libertad
Cuando el bolsillo le da?

Entre risas, añoranzas y recuerdos
Hacia cada sensacion que conocer
Hasta la ultima aventura exprime cuerdo
El viajero asimilando la ciudad

Para que no caiga el sueño adocenado
¿Por que nuevas posiciones correra?
Segun controle el viento rachead0
El viajero abandona la ciudad

Ciudad y otra ciudad
Gastando su inquietud
Comprando libertad
Cuando el bolsillo le da

Vino, tabaco y caramelos
Quiere el viajero

Un caramelito
Una chocolatina
Un poquito gasolina
Para que me ande el carrito
Y si tu quieres te invito
Por el campo a pasear
0 bien nos vamos al mar
Que alli me espera un barquito
De vela porque soy el capitan
Que vengas, vengas te digo, digo,digo

¡Vamos a gozar!
¡Arriba!

Y conocio a una muchacha
Que era como una piragua
Que nadaba entre dos aguas
Y se las daba de macha
Y bailando una guaracha

Se fue quitando el vestido
Pero llego su marido
Que estaba cortando caña
Y se vinieron "pa" españa
Si bien lo tengo entendido

Y recorrio muchas millas
Por eso sabe que vive
Estuvo por el caribe
Y recorrio las antillas
Y me conto maravillas
De viajes por tierra y mar
Yo no hacia mas que escuchar
Con un profundo respeto
Secretos que son secretos
Y no los voy a contar
¡Vino, tabaco y caramelos!

¡Sabrosura ese!

Sin temer presagio alguno desgraciado
Sopena como inocua realidad
Sobre la luz encarnada hierve el hielo
Tras la pista siempre existe su verdad

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
