Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I see we're similar
But I've never thought much about it
'Cause I've got young Mystery
And I couldn't live without her
We're kind of sleeping when you laugh
Say I'm cheapening your love
But it's with young Mystery
That I plan on setting free now
She'd buzz a bell and run
We'd skip and laugh
I hold her hand
She comes in a halo
What she meant to me I couldn't see
I-I see we're similar
But I can't take it all from you
Unless you want me to
I'll take you away from this old horrible town
And just maybe one day we'll want to come back
And walk these streets
Play buzz-a-bell and run
We'd skip and laugh
I'll hold her hand
She comes in a halo
What she meant to me I couldn't see
Never in a month of Sundays
But I've never thought much about it
'Cause I've got young Mystery
And I couldn't live without her
We're kind of sleeping when you laugh
Say I'm cheapening your love
But it's with young Mystery
That I plan on setting free now
She'd buzz a bell and run
We'd skip and laugh
I hold her hand
She comes in a halo
What she meant to me I couldn't see
I-I see we're similar
But I can't take it all from you
Unless you want me to
I'll take you away from this old horrible town
And just maybe one day we'll want to come back
And walk these streets
Play buzz-a-bell and run
We'd skip and laugh
I'll hold her hand
She comes in a halo
What she meant to me I couldn't see
Never in a month of Sundays

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

The song Month of Sundays by Metronomy talks about how the artist views his lifelong friend differently. Thoughts of romance are starting to surge into his mind. The first verse suggests that they've grown in similar ways due to him growing with this person. The problem the artist phases is that they feel as if they value the friendship more than the romantic aspect of it. The artist's love for them is too great to jeopardize by a foolish romantic relationship, as most people have learned from life friendships tend to last longer than romantic relationships. "'Cause I've got young Mystery And I couldn't live without her" Mystery is the artist's friend, as they realize that it is better to leave it up to the gods of fate or instead leave it up to the mind. The following line follows, "We're kind of sleeping when you laugh. Say I'm cheapening your love. But it's with young Mystery. That I plan on setting free now" The perspective has changed. The desire can not only be applied to the romantic situation with the artist's friend; now, this persona is the embodiment of unresolved goals. These unresolved situations can be set free to the power of thought, but of course, the artist is resisting this impulse of achieving what they think is unachievable, or rather better to leave it than make it. "She comes in a halo. What she meant to me I couldn't see" The halo, refers to how when the artist gets one of these aspirations, they feel as if it is so great and almost angelic, but then they are reminded by the bitterness of the world that the artist shall not pursue this persona in such a way. "I-I see we're similar. But I can't take it all from you Unless you want me to" This line refers to the artist being reluctant to move on from this idea but then again asks this situation/persona, "What if it were to happen? What could be so bad about the situation being realized?" "I'll take you away from this old horrible town And just maybe one day we'll want to come back. And walk these streets" This part of the verse implies the melancholy nostalgic sweetness of a memory the artist never had. The streets signify the path that the artist could have taken, but in the end, it resulted in nothingness but a bittersweet ending. On an interesting note, the last chorus is sung in a future tense meaning that the aspirations are left up to his mind but they have had some closure. The song ends on a melancholy note "Never in a month of Sundays." This phrase refers to something that will never happen, or is very unlikely to happen.
However this is just my take on the song, as every other art piece it is left to the beholder to take in it's meaning.
