Aún recuerdo el farolito de la esquina
Tiernamente alumbraba mis mentiras
No tenía dieciséis como decía
Era un niño en edad de golosina
Me besaste ante la luna y mis dos primas
Sonrojando hasta la ropa que tenía
Labios tiernos que mataban mi vigilia
Se robaban los juguetes de esos días
Los encuentros de fútbol con mis amigos
Los cambié por besos y unos cigarrillos
Yo fui un Dios que hizo verano en tu mejilla
Un astronauta entre tus pechos de Afrodita

Y van, van por dentro
Tus recuerdos son estrellas que
No paran de llover

Fuimos tarde a mirar la luz del día
Se nos iba el tiempo en tanta tontería
Yo pintaba nuevas pecas a tu vientre
Tú inventabas una forma de quererme
Conjugaba con Neruda y sus palabras
Un hechizo pa' que nunca te marcharas
Y lo hiciste sin aviso esa mañana
En que el mundo fue el corral de mi desgracia
Y me juraste regresar algún verano
Al farolito juro me quedé pegado
Nunca un hombre te extrañó de esta manera
Nunca un niño te adoro de esa manera
Ay niña linda me dejaste en los bolsillos
Triste aroma de besos y cigarrillos
Yo fui un Dios que hizo verano en tu mejilla
Un astronauta entre tus pechos de Afrodita

Y van, van por dentro
Tus recuerdo son estrellas que
No paran de llover

Y van, van por dentro
Tus recuerdo son estrellas que
No paran de llover

Tus estrellas nunca nunca paran de llover

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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."

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.

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.
