This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Christmas is the time of year
When the patrons and the
Panthers come and commandeer
Christian, put away your fuss
With the tipping of the handlers
As the pagans must
I know for a century
We were scrambling to assemble
What a man believes i know for a time I let
To believe that human kindness
Would prevail instead
Woman, have you lost your kind?
There are snakeskin stealers seething
In the afterlife
Christian in the advent house
You confess the incarnation with
The breast turned out
Have you seen the Christ the king
(Woman, have you lost your kind?)
Suckling nurseries in snakeskin in
The armored seat?
(With the breast turned out)
Christian, put away your woes
(Woman, have you lost your kind?)
Welcome grief and crime and anguish
With the happiest host (In the afterlife)
(Christmas woman, Christmas woman)
(Christmas woman, Christmas woman)
(Christmas woman, Christmas woman)
(Christmas woman, Christmas woman)
Oh, I was thinking by myself
I was remembering
Every moment by the river when
It froze last night
And in the fullness of the moon
I felt the baby kick beside me
She was grabbing happy, healthy life
(Christmas, Christmas)
I lived it out to be a soldier
I was channeling Middle Ages
(Christmas, Christmas)
I was captured by the Norsemen rite
(Christmas, Christmas)
The sign that passeth comprehending
She was tending right beside me
(Christmas, Christmas)
She was captured in the midst of men
(Christmas, Christmas)
And then it kissed me on my shoulder
All the possibilities of motion
(Christmas, Christmas)
Resting rightly, right inside of me
When the patrons and the
Panthers come and commandeer
Christian, put away your fuss
With the tipping of the handlers
As the pagans must
I know for a century
We were scrambling to assemble
What a man believes i know for a time I let
To believe that human kindness
Would prevail instead
Woman, have you lost your kind?
There are snakeskin stealers seething
In the afterlife
Christian in the advent house
You confess the incarnation with
The breast turned out
Have you seen the Christ the king
(Woman, have you lost your kind?)
Suckling nurseries in snakeskin in
The armored seat?
(With the breast turned out)
Christian, put away your woes
(Woman, have you lost your kind?)
Welcome grief and crime and anguish
With the happiest host (In the afterlife)
(Christmas woman, Christmas woman)
(Christmas woman, Christmas woman)
(Christmas woman, Christmas woman)
(Christmas woman, Christmas woman)
Oh, I was thinking by myself
I was remembering
Every moment by the river when
It froze last night
And in the fullness of the moon
I felt the baby kick beside me
She was grabbing happy, healthy life
(Christmas, Christmas)
I lived it out to be a soldier
I was channeling Middle Ages
(Christmas, Christmas)
I was captured by the Norsemen rite
(Christmas, Christmas)
The sign that passeth comprehending
She was tending right beside me
(Christmas, Christmas)
She was captured in the midst of men
(Christmas, Christmas)
And then it kissed me on my shoulder
All the possibilities of motion
(Christmas, Christmas)
Resting rightly, right inside of me

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I'm not sure how accurate the lyrics are because I don't have a lyric booklet. Feel free to correct!
