My Dream And I

Reset

With every day that goes by
It sure gets lonely in this
This world of mine
This state of nothingness
Keeps on eating me
Will I succeed?

I can't help but wonder
What chapter is next
I think I can't stop thinking
My mind just needs a rest
'Cause everyone around me
Has lost their mind
Me they think I'm crazy,
'Cause I'm real

I don't have to think
It's under my skin
No one can stop my dream and I

I can't sleep, I'm in too deep
These thoughts are scaring me away
But you don't understand
It seems like no one can
Am I insane?, Am I to blame?

It seems every day
I loose more inspiration
Amount of motivation
My life is going nowhere

With everyday that goes by
It sure gets lonely in this
This world of mine
I will succeed, I will succeed

(x2)
I don't have to think
It's under my skin
No one can stop my dream and I

    You know what pisses me off? How Reset (well, a few members..including the singer) became Simple Plan. This song has helped me through rough times. It cheers me up. Great lyrics.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

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.
