Time and meaning never seem to flow as one,
what holy was to yesterday has sunken down
Without it's crown, and oddly without sound,
Your golden calf in the Hudson drowned, ten times
A whiteout of the mind
Now we're the world's best dreamers

It might just be that we're all going nowhere fast
But even so I would not trade a single day

I'm skating off, with a sad-looking grin,
Remember me as you remember a dream;
Ever fleeting in flickering lights,
Like a memory fading slow when the day comes

And takes us back to playgrounds full of rolling stones,
To the mountain village when we'd rest our bones
And gently dream, like children of the sun,
On easy street, where all life has begun,
When fun and games were all we had
Before the world deceived us

Some might say that were stuck in the past,
But somehow there's never truth in their eyes
Just stand aside, cause we're off to blue
We're on our way to the wild, me and you
If you listen close, you can hear our
Hearts beat loud with the sound of a dream

Hold on brother, sleep well; our love is falling over
You, young soldier, be strong
We'll be watching over you, young sister
Come home lover, come home soldier,
Weaving the dreams for you

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
