Like I knew that you would come to me and we'd run away with all our dreams.
Don't you think that I'd prepare a bit to try to make it all complete.
To run away is not the kind of thing that I do in a normal day,
But it's so cool that we're together and we're smiling drinking soda.
I want to jump in a lake.
Sun shining down on a beach in the summer.

    Several years ago National Review magazine ran an article that listed the 50 Greatest Conservative rock songs of all-time. And while Soda didn't make that list, it should have. The lyrics could easily have been written and sung in the 1950's - and that's actually why I like this song. He and his girl have found pure, true love. They aren't smoking crack or getting hammered together and fighting, or sharing needles; they're drinking soda! I just love that. I mean that to me is pure love, and it makes him so happy he just wants to go...jump in a lake! I hope that some day all of us may find that pure, innocent love where just being with that person and staring into their eyes while sharing a soda could be enough.

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.

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

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
