I'm So Glad (Trouble Don't Last Always

Sam Cooke

Well, you know I'm so glad
I know the trouble don't last always
Oh, I'm so glad
I know trouble don't last always

Lord, I'm, I'm so glad, Lord
I know that trouble don't last always, now
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
I wanna know what shall I do

You better run, run oh sinner run
You better find you a hiding place
You better run, run sinner run
You better find you a hiding place

Oh run, run oh sinner run
You better find you a hiding place
Oh my Lord, yeah, Lord
What shall I do?

I'm so glad, I'm so glad, Lord
I know that trouble don't last always
Oh, I'm so glad
That hidden trouble is all soon go away

I'm so glad
I know that trouble don't last always now
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
I wanna know

Well, I'm getting worried
What can I do? Getting tired, Lord
What can I do? I'm getting worried
What can I do?

You promised me Jesus
You'd be beside me
You promised me, Lord
You'd bring me out of trouble

You promised me, Lord
You'd be my friend now
You promised me, Lord
You'd stay right beside me

I'm so glad, so glad, Lord
I had a religion, Lord, anytime
Oh, so glad I got a religion and
I'm so glad, I'm so glad
I got a religion, Lord, anytime now
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord, I wanna know

Well, soon one morning, soon one morning
You know when death come creeping in my room
Oh, soon one morning, I'll be tried no, soon

Soon one morning
You know when death come creeping in my room, now
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
What shall I do? What shall I do?

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
