Motion Sickness

Hot Chip

Remember when people thought the world was round, the world was round?
Remember when people thought the world was round, the world was round?
Everything spins, everything spins on my head
Everything spins, everything spins, everything spins on my head
Everything spins, everything spins, everything spins on my head
On my compact disc
Everything spins, everything spins from my head 'til my motion sickness

Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh

Remember when we both first felt the world is sound, the world is sound?
Remember when we both first heard the wall of sound, the wall of sound?
Everything locks, everything locks to my grave
Everything locks, everything locks , everything locks to my grave
Everything locks, everything locks, everything locks to my grave and my broken limbs
Everything locks, everything locks to my grave and the life I live

Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh

I am only turning out to you (ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh)
I am only felt and seen by you (ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh)
A world I'm in to take within your hands (ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh)
A world we both take through no contact lens (ah oh ooh, ooh, ooh)

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
