You can go, you can leave this town.
Forget about the people and the places,
and the faces that have let you down
You can hide, you can change your name
But the fear will always find you,
if it's coming from inside you,
so you've gotta change

So if it's the same to you, you could stay with me
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you

Even when you feel so low like you might let go
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the last one giving up on you

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one.

If you leave, tell me where you'd go?
Would you lock yourself inside a place,
so no one had the chance to face you on your own

'Cause when we fall down, we can stay down
But the freedom that we wanna find,
is only found when we're off the ground.

So if it's the same to you, you could stay with me.
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you.

Even when you feel so low like you might let go
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the last one giving up on you.

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one

So if it's the same to you, you could stay with me
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you.

Even when you feel so low like you might let go
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the last one giving up on you.

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one.

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
I will be the first hand reaching out.
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one

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.

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/

Blue
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.
