I remember riding shotgun in daddy's Chevrolet,
We'd crank up the pioneers, and we'd sing away,
Sometimes he'd let me take the wheel and we'd drive through town,
Couldn't wait to hear my favorite songs coming back around (back around),

And the radio played, old flame, I'll still be loving you,
I was country when country wasn't cool, forever and ever amen,
Always on my mind again and again, swinging and smoking mountain rain,
He stopped loving her today.
We laughed, we cried the 80's way,
And the radio played

Bobby was the first boy that I ever kissed,
I can still taste the root beer on his lips,
We turned up the stereo from that bedroom,
Climbed through the window and make out on the roof,

And the radio played, don't rock the jukebox and we danced
Strawberry wine, a brand new man, love without end amen,
Time marches on, again and again, meet in the middle and the maze,
Does he love you? Independence day, we laughed we cried the 90's way,
And the radio played

I was (Raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio)
Yeah, and the radio played
I was (Raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio)

And I hear em now, I'm right back in that place
And 20 years from now, I'll look back on today

When the radio played I hope you'll dance, you'll think of me,
What hurts the most, before he cheats
I don't want this night to end,
The house that built me, remember when,
Love story, she's my kind of rain, she's country forever and for always,
Don't blink, I saw god today
And the radio plays

I was (Raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio)
And the radio plays
I was (Raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio)

Weren't you (Raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio)
Raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
