This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I see you there
Your long black hair
Your eyes just stare
Your mind is turning
You know I'll laugh
And I won't take it back
I've seen your eyes I know
What your thinking
And one by one
We'll shoot our guns
We'll have fun
Don't ever doubt it
And when I say
Fare thee well
My only friend
Oh how the days go
Your setting sun
Your broken drum
Your little drugs
I'll never forget you
Never
Forget
You
Your long black hair
Your eyes just stare
Your mind is turning
You know I'll laugh
And I won't take it back
I've seen your eyes I know
What your thinking
And one by one
We'll shoot our guns
We'll have fun
Don't ever doubt it
And when I say
Fare thee well
My only friend
Oh how the days go
Your setting sun
Your broken drum
Your little drugs
I'll never forget you
Never
Forget
You

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this song is about elliott smith
(for those who dont know who he is, he was an indie singer sonwriter who passed away in 2003)
Beck and him were good friends and this a tribute to him, it's a beautiful song.
this song screams elliott and it diligently explains him in the simplest ways, it's obvious it's about him.
This song is about me and my ex wife. We love each other more than anything. We can read each other's minds. But she did something to me once. She can't look at me anymore. I told her what her life would devolve into without me and yeah, I laughed when I had to say "I told you so". The look in her eyes betrayed her.
But if she ever overcomes her neurosis and drug habits, we'll get back together someday. And then we can again go shooting and do the other things we used to do together.
We've been apart for 16 years. And I'll never forget her. It's just not possible.
I can't believe I'm the first to comment about this song. I definitely think it's the best song on Guero.
I agree with tin14man. It sounds like electro-"Sea Change."
It sounds like it's about a relationship that fails, but ends up being important to the singer. (First love, possibly?)
yeah its beautiful, timeless. I wonder who he wrote it about...Leigh Limon? maybe Winona Ryder? anybody know?
I've heard this could be a tribute to Elliott Smith. Just something to think about...
This is a nice song. It's nice to listen to it and think about the lyrics, but if you're tired, it puts you right to sleep. It's cool like that.
randomly came on my launch cast station, the 'gurellito' version. i heard that boards of canda are on it, this must be their redoing- it's gorgeous..
the song sounds like a freindship that's saying goodbye.
I agree. I think it's a song about a really close friend that has either died or left his life. It could also be about a relationship that went bad over time, and although it was bad at times, he won't forget the times he had with her and he won't regret anything.
