He's sitting in the lobby of an African hotel
A gun in his pocket, he's waiting for himself
And this girl at the bar says: hey, what do you think
C'mon, pay me a drink, be my karaoke king
'Cause you're bigger than Elvis and smarter than bob
And you're singing songs you've never heard before
And this is judgment day so tell me what you have to say
But why don't you sing it when you're singing anyway
Tell me, why don't you sing it when you're singing anyway
Evermore I drove down the glowing bones
Of a shattered highway without an end
And I watched your hair 'gainst the fields of wheat
Like a flickering flame in the screaming winds
If our love was bigger than the 7 seas
Wonder how big our life's in the end might be
To fit in everything, all the goods, all the sin
But we shouldn't complain as long's we're not givin' in
We're all waiting for the new light...
I am sitting in the lobby of an African hotel
I'm waiting for someone who will never come
And the girl at the bar says: angel, pay me a drink
C'mon, c'mon, be my karaoke king
'Cause you're bigger than Bernhard and you're smarter than gold
And I bet in your pocket is a 45 colt
And this is judgment day, so why don't you stay
And we're killing some time before it kills us anyway
Don't wanna be too negative, so please don't get me wrong
It's just that life's too short and that your dead for too long
And ain't it strange we care the most about the least important things
I've been waiting here for so long since a million fucking drinks
'Cause you're bigger than Bernie and you're smarter than gold
And I bet in your pocket is a 45 colt
And this is judgment day, so why don't you stay
And we're killing some time before it kills us anyway
Waiting for the new light...

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.

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,

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
