Everyone Else Is an Asshole

Reel Big Fish

Woahh Wa-ohhh, Wa-ohhh-ohh-ohh,
Woahh Wa-ohhh, Wa-ohhh-ohh-ohh,

I tried to be nice
I tried to live my life
But everyone else is an asshole

I tried to forgive
I tried to live and let live
But everyone else is an asshole

And everybody else thinks of no one but themselves
And no one wants to help cause they're all assholes
And every friendly chat is a knife in the back
A sneaky attack waiting to happen

I tried not to mind
I tried to be so kind
But everyone else is an asshole

I tried to let love rule
But I feel like such a fool
Cause everyone else is an asshole

And they're out there even now
Trying to mess me up somehow
But they won't stop me now
Cause they're all assholes

And they're planning while I sleep
And even as we speak
To strike when I am weak
Cause they're all assholes

Everyone else
Everyone else
Everyone else is an asshole
Everyone else
Everyone else
Everyone else is an asshole

It's time to defend
I didn't know I have no friends
Everyone else is an asshole

I've got to get them first
Cause worst has come to worst
Everyone else is an asshole

But they put the blame on me
Pretending not to see
That I just want to be free
From these assholes

But I couldn't take their shit
So I tried to deal with it
And now I look a bit
Like an asshole!

I tried to be nice
I tried to live my life
But everyone else is an asshole

I tried to overlook
And I tried to close the book
But everyone else is an asshole

I tried not to talk shit
But I just couldn't help it
Everyone else is an asshole

They called it a song
But it really wasn't my fault
Everyone else is an asshole

Everyone else
Everyone else
Everyone else is an asshole
Everyone else
Everyone else
Everyone else is an asshole

You're an asshole too!
You're an asshole too!
I'm talking bout you
I'm talking bout you
I'm talking bout you, and you, and you
You're an asshole too
I'm talking bout you, and you, and you
You're an asshole too
I'm talking bout you, and you, and you
You're an asshole too

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
