By the time that the songs came on we were stoned out of our minds
I know it's only rock and roll but it's the soundtrack of our lives
And no matter how crazy life gets I can feel right at home sweet home
Every time I put that record on

The first time I got a whole lotta love I wanted a whole lot more
In the back seat baby made me feel like maybe we were knocking on heavens door
Walk this way still to this day makes me wanna drink all night long
Every time I put that record on

Turn, turn, turn it up loud, light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
Turn, turn, turn the page were back to that first time and place
When you felt like you were living in that song
You put that record on

Life's been a crazy train, barely kept it on the tracks
If you think it's the shame that I act this way blame it on 'Back in Black'
Thought I did everything I did and I forget what I done wrong
Every time I put that record on

Turn, turn, turn it up loud light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
Turn, turn, turn the page were back to that first time and place
When you felt like you were living in that song
Put that record on

Let it play
Take me back
To yesterday
Come on baby sing

Turn, turn, turn it up loud light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
Turn, turn, turn the page were back to that first time and place
When you felt like you were living in that song
Put that record on

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
