The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
I was blue and lonely
I couldn't sleep a wink
And I could only get unconscious
If I'd had to much to drink
There was somehow, something wrong somewhere
And each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation
Were growing in me head
I needed inspiration
A brand new start in life
Somewhere to place affection
But I didn't want a wife
And then by lucky chance I saw
In a special magazine
An ad that was unusual
The like I'd never seen
"Experience something different
With our new imported toy
She's loving, warm, inflatable
And a guarantee of joy"
She came all wrapped in cardboard
All pink and shriveled down
A breath of air was all she needed
To make her lose that frown
I took her to the bedroom
And pumped her with some life
And later in a moment
That girl became my wife
And so I sit her in the corner
And sometimes stroke her hair
And when I'm feeling naughty
I blow her up with air
She's cuddly and she's bouncy
She's like a rubber ball
I bounce her in the kitchen
And I bounce her in the hall
And now my life is different
Since Sally came my way
I wake up in the morning
And have her on a tray
She's everything they say she was
And I wear a permanent grin
And I only have to worry
In case my girl wears thin
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl
I was blue and lonely
I couldn't sleep a wink
And I could only get unconscious
If I'd had to much to drink
There was somehow, something wrong somewhere
And each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation

I needed inspiration
A brand new start in life
Somewhere to place affection
But I didn't want a wife
And then by lucky chance I saw

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
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
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I just love Andy's poem! This is the sweetest declaration of love to an inflatable doll of all time! : D OK, it's the only declaration to a doll I know, but still, I don't think anyone could beat it. rofl I also like the way he reads the poem, as if it was a bedtime story for kids.
I know right?! As if kids would understand the point of the song. I also love the random plonky piano in the background as he reads it. This song is so hilarious!
