I've been staring at your number for so long baby
That your red lipstick on the paper, yeah, it's kind of faded
I haven't got a plan, no, I can't think ahead that far
But I gotta call

And I just wanna drive
Somewhere in the night
And I don't wanna waste your time
No, I just wanna drive, drive, drive
And I don't really know
Where we're gonna go
No telling what we're gonna find
No, I just wanna drive, drive, drive
I just wanna drive
I just wanna drive

I'm half awake, trying to make sense of what you're saying baby
But you're going round in circles, yeah you're sounding just a little bit crazy
But if you mean what you say and it ain't just another lie
Oh I can be ready in five

And I just wanna drive
Somewhere in the night
And I don't wanna waste your time
No, I just wanna drive, drive, drive
And I don't really know
Where we're gonna go
No telling what we're gonna find
No, I just wanna drive, drive, drive
I just wanna drive

Woah, woah
'Til the sparks from my heart are burning black
'Til there's more stars than the city lights
'Til the sparks from my heart are burning black, burning black

And I just wanna drive
Somewhere in the night
And I don't wanna waste your time
No, I just wanna drive, drive, drive
And I don't really know
Where we're gonna go
No telling what we're gonna find
No, I just wanna drive, drive, drive
I just wanna drive
I just wanna drive

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.

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"

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/
