Intro to "Eggs and Sausage"

Tom Waits

I was always eh, kinda want to like consider myself kind of a pioneer of the palette,
a restaurateur if you will.
I've wined, dined, sipped and supped in some of the most demonstrably beamer
epitomable bistros in the Los Angles metropolitan region.
Yeah, I've had strange looking patty melts at Norms.
I've had dangerous veal cutlets at the Copper Penny.
Well what you get is a breaded salsbury steak in a shake-n-bake
and topped with a provocative sauce of Velveeta and uh, half-n-half.
Smothered with Campbell's tomato soup.
See I have kinda of a uh...well I order my veal cutlet,
Christ it left the plate and it walked down to the end of the counter.
Waitress, ? she's wearing those rhinestone glasses with the little pearl thing clipped on the sweater.
My veal cutlet come down, tried to beat the shit out of my cup of coffee.
Coffee just wasn't strong enough to defend itself.

    My veal cutlet come down, tried to beat the shit out of my cup of coffee. Coffee just wasn't strong enough to defend itself.

    Genius way to describe to tough piece of meat.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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
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.

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.
