This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I flew too close to the sun
Fell back to Earth like a stone
I got too high on myself
Too young and stupid to tell
I was bound to make a mess of things
Mixin' fireworks and gasoline
Never meant to make you fall with me
I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
(I let you down)
Caught at the end of the lifeline
The catch of a lifetime
(I should've known, should've known, should've known)
Oh we were destined for danger
Familiar strangers
(I should've known, should've known)
We were bound to make a mess of things
Mixin' fireworks and gasoline
Never meant to make you fall with me
I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
And for all this pain, that I can't explain
There's a black flag wavin' tonight
You know I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left
I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
And for all this pain, that I can't explain
There's a black flag wavin' tonight
You know I let you down (let you down)
I've been clumsy with your heart again
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Fell back to Earth like a stone
I got too high on myself
Too young and stupid to tell
I was bound to make a mess of things
Mixin' fireworks and gasoline
Never meant to make you fall with me
I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
(I let you down)
Caught at the end of the lifeline
The catch of a lifetime
(I should've known, should've known, should've known)
Oh we were destined for danger
Familiar strangers
(I should've known, should've known)
We were bound to make a mess of things
Mixin' fireworks and gasoline
Never meant to make you fall with me
I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
And for all this pain, that I can't explain
There's a black flag wavin' tonight
You know I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left
I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
And for all this pain, that I can't explain
There's a black flag wavin' tonight
You know I let you down (let you down)
I've been clumsy with your heart again
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash

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
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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
