Way up, way up there
Look at the dark clouds baby yeah they're floating by
They're coming over, over there
Cruising along like a fleet of ships that fly
Should we go out and play in the rain?
Should we go out and play in the rain, do you want to?
Way down deep inside
Since we were young we were told we've got nothing to hide
Way out away from the crowd
We rode all the way from home
Here to catch a breather
And sat there until it was dark
And saw how the ways the tides of time broke water
On our breakwater
Way down, way down there
Look at the carvings we left on the rocks around
Way over there, they're lying there
Weathered by old mother nature breaking ground
Fading away with the tide of time
Eroding the days of sorrow slowly away
But way down deep inside
We've never held onto the things that wither away
As long as without any doubt
The dying of every living thing is certain
Then we'll be happy we tried
Always to be in the fullness of our own presence
In every moment
Way in, way inside
We know that we've hurt the ones we've loved once before
But who's wrong?
Who's right?
We don't want to be the ones pointing the fingers
Lay out all that blame in the sun
The healing's just begun, everything's forgiven
Way down deep inside
All that matters is everyone is happy
Dark clouds come our way
Nothing to fear, our world is not ending
Dark clouds come our way
Nothing to fear, our world is not melting
It's not made of sugar
Dark clouds
Come our way
Nothing to fear
Going away
Dark clouds
Come our way
Nothing to fear
Going away
Dark clouds
Come our way
Nothing to fear
Going away
Dark clouds
Come our way
Nothing to fear
Going away

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.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
