The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I know It was no accident
To cross your way and understand
That you're the one that I've been looking for
It's true I feel the same for you
There's nothing else I'd like to do
But hold you in my arms for ever more
Yes, I just fall in love with you
For sure I did the same
I hope this lovely feeling will remain
[ Chorus: ]
Your love is like a guiding star to me
And it's shining on my way tonight to make me smile (ooh)
There's something I have never felt before
It's beautiful
You're the one I've been longing for
Do you still hear all the words that I have said
I won't forget (Oh yeah)
We will tell it to the world
Two hearts can beat as one
It seems so unbelievable
I hardly find a word to tell
How much I need you here with me right now
And I could embrace the universe
It feels so good
It nearly hurts
And all I want is giving you my life (ooh)
Yes, I just fall in love with you
For sure I did the same
I hope this lovely feeling will remain
[ Chorus: ]
Your love Is like a guiding star to me
And it's shining on my way tonight
To make me smile (ooh)
There's something I have never felt before
It's beautiful
You're the one I've been longing for
Do you still hear all the words that I have said
I won't forget (Oh yeah)
We will tell it to the world
Two hearts can beat as one
So I ask you
Do you want me as your man
To love me like no one did before (ooh)
Yes, you're the one and only
I'll never let you go
You are meant for me and I am meant for you
[ Chorus: ]
Your love is like a guiding star to me
And it's shining on my way tonight
To make me smile
There's something I have never felt before
It's beautiful (oh it's beautiful)
You're the one (you're the one)
I've been longing for
Do you still hear all the words that I have said
I won't forget (oh yeah)
We will tell it to the world
Two hearts can beat as one
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah,yeah, yeah
Baby, Yes
Two hearts can beat as one
To cross your way and understand
That you're the one that I've been looking for
It's true I feel the same for you
There's nothing else I'd like to do
But hold you in my arms for ever more
Yes, I just fall in love with you
For sure I did the same
I hope this lovely feeling will remain
[ Chorus: ]
Your love is like a guiding star to me
And it's shining on my way tonight to make me smile (ooh)
There's something I have never felt before
It's beautiful
You're the one I've been longing for
Do you still hear all the words that I have said
I won't forget (Oh yeah)
We will tell it to the world
Two hearts can beat as one
It seems so unbelievable
I hardly find a word to tell
How much I need you here with me right now
And I could embrace the universe
It feels so good
It nearly hurts
And all I want is giving you my life (ooh)
Yes, I just fall in love with you
For sure I did the same
I hope this lovely feeling will remain
[ Chorus: ]
Your love Is like a guiding star to me
And it's shining on my way tonight
To make me smile (ooh)
There's something I have never felt before
It's beautiful
You're the one I've been longing for
Do you still hear all the words that I have said
I won't forget (Oh yeah)
We will tell it to the world
Two hearts can beat as one
So I ask you
Do you want me as your man
To love me like no one did before (ooh)
Yes, you're the one and only
I'll never let you go
You are meant for me and I am meant for you
[ Chorus: ]
Your love is like a guiding star to me
And it's shining on my way tonight
To make me smile
There's something I have never felt before
It's beautiful (oh it's beautiful)
You're the one (you're the one)
I've been longing for
Do you still hear all the words that I have said

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah,yeah, yeah
Baby, Yes
Two hearts can beat as one

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.
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
