A man is measured these days
By the money he's got
Not sure when it started happening
But that's not the way it's supposed to be I thought
Or maybe I'm a bit old fashioned
'Cause I just want to

Live my life, raise my kids
Love my wife like my dad did
I may never be a millionaire
But I've got more than enough
I'm a rich man, rich in love

Yeah, a little more money
Lord wouldn't it be sweet
Heaven knows that it could change things
But there's food on out table
And shoes on our feet
So I don't waste my time complaining
I'm just gonna

Live my life, raise my kids
Love my wife like my dad did
I may never be a millionaire
But I've got more than enough
I'm a rich man, rich in love

Live my life, raise my kids
Love my wife like my dad did
I may never be a millionaire
But I've got more than enough
I'm a rich man, rich in love

I'm a rich man, rich in love.

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.

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.
