Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out, got me singin' like
Na-na-na-na, every day
It's like my iPod stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out, got me singin' like (ayy)
Na-na-na-na, every day
It's like my iPod stuck on replay, (J.R.), replay
Remember the first time we met
You was at the mall wit' yo' friend
I was scared to approach ya, but then you came closer
Hopin' you would give me a chance
Who would have ever knew
That we would ever be more than friends?
We're real worldwide, breaking all the rules
She like a song played again and again
That girl like somethin' off a poster
That girl is a dime they say
That girl is a gun to my holster
And she's running through my mind all day, ayy
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out, got me singin' like (ayy)
Na-na-na-na, every day
It's like my iPod stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out, got me singin' like (ayy)
Na-na-na-na, every day
It's like my iPod stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay-ay
See you been all around the globe
Not once did you leave my mind
We talk on the phone, from night 'til the morn'
Girl, you really changed my life
Doin' things I never do
I'm in the kitchen cookin' things she likes
We're real worldwide, breaking all the rules
Someday I wanna make you my wife
That girl like somethin' off a poster
That girl is a dime they say (hey)
That girl is a gun to my holster
And she's running through my mind all day, ay
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out, got me singin' like (ayy)
Na-na-na-na, every day
It's like my iPod stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay-ay (oh)
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out, got me singin' like (ayy)
Na-na-na-na, every day
It's like my iPod stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay-ay
I can be your melody
Oh, girl, I could write you a symphony
The one that could fill your fantasies
So come, baby girl, let's sing with me, ayy
I can be your melody
Oh, girl, I could write you a symphony
The one that could fill your fantasies
So come, baby girl, let's sing with me, ayy
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Shawty, got me singin'
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Now she got me singin'
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out, (ooh) got me singin' like (ayy)
Na-na-na-na, every day
It's like my iPod stuck on replay, replay-ay-ay-ay-ay (ayy)
Shawty's like a melody (like a melody) in my head

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Fast Car

"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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
