That's all right, that's all right, that's all right
Sometimes you feel like trouble, sometimes you feel down
Let this music relax your mind, let the music relax your mind
Stand up and be counted, can't get a witness

Sometimes you need somebody, if you have somebody to love
Sometimes you ain't got nobody and you want somebody to love
Then you don't want to walk and talk about Jesus

You just want to see His face
You don't want to walk and talk about Jesus
You just want to see His face
You just want to see His face
You just want to see His face
You just want to see His face
You just want to see His face

    am i only the one who adores this song? whenever i talk about my favorite stones songs i always mention this and people have no idea--even those who claim to be big stones fans. again, it's about the emotion, not the lyrics of the song, which are only discernable by reading them. the drum work is simply awesome. it feels like something you'd hear in a 1940s cajun joint, but this could only be done by the stones.

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.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
