In the cool city, in the heat of the night
Looking for adventure on the face of the light
A Colorado school boy put his days on the line
Nights out of paperback, 'Catcher In The Rye'

Night ranger
Where you gonna run to now?
Night ranger
Ranger

He met her at a rock show, skin tight jeans
Heavy metal leather hanging from her seams
He took her to a late night, she put her heart on the line
Left her standing in the doorway singing, "Thanks for the good time"

Night ranger
Where you gonna run to now?
Night ranger
Ranger

Night ranger
Where you gonna run to now?
Night ranger
Ranger

I can hear you calling, calling
I can hear you calling, night ranger
I can see you falling, falling
I can see you falling, night ranger
Where you gonna run to now?
Night ranger

In the hot city on a cool summer night
Four letter words make it alright
A Colorado school boy put it all on the line
Under the street lights having a good time

Night ranger
Night ranger
Night ranger
Night ranger

I can hear you calling, calling
I can hear you calling, night ranger
I can see you falling, falling
I can see you falling, night ranger
Where you gonna run to now?
Night ranger

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
