We know all of each other's moves
In this twisted dance we do
But we stubbornly refuse
To admit what this might be

'Cause I've been down this road before
Don't trust my instincts anymore
cnd it's easier to ignore
The fact that you unravel me

What do I do if you're no good for me
But I might be good for you
Why do I crave your love so desperately
When I don't even want to?

My defenses are down
I've lost all resistance
cnd when you're not touching me
I can feel your distance
So if you're gonna leave
Wherever you go please take me
ct your side is where I'll be
Wherever you go please take me

Wherever you go please take me
Wherever you go please take me

You watch the world from on your throne
In a kingdom no one knows
'Cause you'd rather be alone
Than be caught without your shield

But I came banging on the walls
It's like I heard your heartbeat call
cnd if this castle ever falls
I won't be anywhere but here

What do I do if I'm no good for you
But you might be good for me
Why aren't I brave enough to make a move
Instead of second guessing?

My defenses are down
I've lost all resistance
cnd when you're not touching me
I can feel your distance
So if you're gonna leave
Wherever you go please take me
ct your side is where I'll be
Wherever you go please take me

Wherever you go please take me
Wherever you go please take me

You are nothing that I wanted
But you are everything I needed
We know all of each other's moves

My defenses are down
I've lost all resistance
cnd when you're not touching me
I can feel your distance
So if you're gonna leave
Wherever you go please take me
ct your side is where I'll be
Wherever you go please take me

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
