Sell the House, the Car, the Kids...I'm Not Coming Back

The Lonelyhearts

I came into town, the mission was planned
Now I'm the man under your floor again
A knock at the door again
Say I'm not here

My desert love, where have you gone?
It's been too long, you make me strong again
Will you come home again, I am alone, I am alone, I am alone

Jet plans will land like rain on the sand
They don't understand I fell in love again
I'm not coming home again, it's out of their hands, it's out of their hands, it's out of their hands

I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head
I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head
I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head
I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head, head

Your books are destroyed by enemy songs
The mission was planned
Your prophet has died again, leaving the holy land
He's in the sky

The soldiers are gone, I'll show you the light
We'll start a new life in Mesopotamia
When I'm done saving you
You'll worship Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ

I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head
I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head
I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head
I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head
I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head
I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head
I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head
I'm feeling you, I got a hole in my head, head

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
