    I think that this song is about repeatedly traversing the circumference of the globe.

    Lyrical Genius, a true poet in the heart of this post-human being (Far superior to normal humans.) Having gotten a degree in junior engineering and a award for being the most behaved all week from ‘The Lanchesterian Junior institute for children with special needs’ I consider myself gifted, like it said, I am special.

    This song uses Ancient Aztec Mythology as a metaphor to outline how some of us are too busy worrying about death to enjoy life. How the existence of a god in our minds have made us believe in an afterlife and how we let this thought control us and, so that we are rewarded in death for something that may be fiction, we kill many innocent people and destroy the life we know does exist and as a result never enjoy it, all for what may be a lie.

    As a result, this piece of art has been the target of much religious gunfire. But many artists suffer for their work, such as Leonardo Van Helsing, who for his art once crucified his daughter upside in a church that he set on fire in 1692 (Although he was let off when the judge admitted she was a little annoying at times.) This was not made to ridicule Christians’ beliefs, or even tell Christians what to believe. No, this was to teach us all that there is more to life than the hope of the afterlife. Feast on life while the diner is open, for tomorrow, it is converted into a Starbucks.

    Of course, this is just how I interperate this masterpiece, this song speaks to many lyrically on so many different levels. However, being a strict Catholic, this deeply offends and I will be joining my colleagues in getting this filth banned. I don’t want to worry about life, the afterlife is more fun. You get to play squash with Albert Einstien and laugh at Gaudi (Who is in hell for not being a Catholic.)

    Well... I could be stupid or idiotic, but this came to me while I was high and looking at the video. If I'm not mistaken it has to do with life or evolution??? That's my best guess. If you look closely at the characters moving around, each one or each group could stand for a point in life or evolotuion, for example the skeletons could stand for death and the robotic figures could stand for the future?? Haha that's my best guess.. I'm telling you it came to me while I was high. Haha.

    "The only thing good about Daft Punk is the videos, the music is like super pop and requires no talent."

    You are a clueless philistine.

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.

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/
