Preface

Many of us can easily designate songs to the soundtrack of our lives. You can likely recall your anthem during some of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pivotal moments, such as the time you aced that job interview, or following the heartbreaking news that she already had a date to the prom. We share our most personal experiences with music, as we would with a close friend. 1

Music can transport us to the vivid humiliation of our teenage years, reminds us of a love once had, or allows us to live vicariously through our inner rebel. With the support of rythym and melody, we can not only remove ourselves, but also express and understand feelings that are too difficult to resolve with our vocabulary alone. Musicians continuously manage to transform puzzling and complex emotions into a precise narrative with which millions of listeners can commiserate. In the year 2014, we heard music that responded to a world that is turbulent with change. The news shares rattling and overwhelming statistics about brutal politics and unfair wars. In addition, modern times present the challenge of coping with an overabundance of digital devices in our lives, as we seek peace in a chaotic social climate. Aside from these external factors, the ever persistent themes of love, friendship, and the quest to known oneself are topics that never cease to permeate our consciousness and pop charts alike.

the lyrics alone? Would we experience the songs differently if the audio component was removed? The purpose of this anthology is to provide readers with the ability to experience their favorite songs in plain text. This collection includes one hundred of the most popular and acclaimed songs of 2014. They have been gathered from the top album lists provided by the Rolling Stones, Billboard, Pitchfork, and National Public Radio. The featured songs were selected using sources including Spotify and Youtube to verify how these songs ranked in popularity compared others from the same album. After collecting the initial scope of songs, the lyrics of each were sourced, then interpreted and sorted into three relevant categories: Identity, Love and Society. Upon further analysis, the lyrics were entered into a word frequency counter to find out how often we use certain words in popular songs. The top one hundred words are listed on the following page:

Each year the most popular songs span genres and listener demographics. Among the thousands of songs that are released into the public spectrum, there are some that capture the attention of music critics and laymen alike, receiving acclaim for their creativity and mastery.. or as some would argue, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just catchy. What would happen if we abandon the musical context of popular songs, and examine Preface

Identity

3Jane EMA

Can you believe all they say? It doesn’t seem like it was only yesterday When you wandered out on Superhighway There should be a law about it When they can take videos of you Of you, of you, of you, of you Feel like I blew my soul out Across the interwebs and streams It was a million pieces Of silver, and I watched them gleam It left a hole so big inside of me And I get terrified that I will never get it back to me To me, to me, to me, to me I guess it’s just a modern disease I get stressed out And I just wanna get high It’s cuz I’ve seen my face And I don’t recognize The person that I feel inside, inside Like an American superpower Turn on the spotlight And nobody cowers I don’t want to sell you anything I don’t want to put myself out And turn it into a refrain, refrain, refrain It’s all just a big advertising campaign When everybody’s lookin’ It’s supposed to be a dream But, disassociation, I guess it’s just a modern disease

Beigeness Kate Tempest

“Who’s bad?” Said the kiddy in the Jacko hat To the kiddy in the Rooney shirt Dragging back The curtains in the room in her daddy’s flat A young girl heard the truth in an alley-cat Howling on the roof next door, Imagine that All your idols were just like you. Nothing’s beyond you Do what you want to do if you feel that it wants you to Look, true never meant nothing more than it means right now, When everything’s fake. But you in your deepest reaches, Keeping secrets. Know what it takes to make a meaning mean something. I’m moving through a space, that some can’t see. I know this space exists. So do you if your heart beats the oldest groove. Life is huge but we have shrunk it, We’ve made it small. We used to walk tall. But who cares, right? We’re having a ball. Them things you don’t show, I can see. Them things you don’t say, Speak to me. Them things you hide ain’t hiding. No firm ground but we ain’t sliding. Them things that haunt you, Let them be. That thing you weep for, Leave it. All life is forwards, you will see, It needs you to need it.

Go ahead, keep it in ‘til it withers you. Move fast, don’t stop, you got things to do. Tell yourself, it’s them man it isn’t you. Nod your head and believe that until it’s true. You can tell it not to show its face When you are trying to hold your space. But it’s in you. Deep in your sinews. And it comes out on the coldest days. See the kid with the memory he can’t shake. See the man with the lover on his mind. See the lady with the guilt and the heartache. See the woman trying to battle with time. See the man with the blood on his hands. See the girl with her hands on her hips. Everybody say nothing. Stay bland. If you don’t show it then it don’t exist. Right? Them things you don’t show, I can see. Them things you don’t say, Speak to me. Them things you hide ain’t hiding. No firm ground but we ain’t sliding. Them things that haunt you, Let them be. That thing you weep for, Leave it. All life is forwards, You will see It’s yours when you’re ready to receive it.

Do it your way and they’ll find you ridiculous. Pick apart your behaviour. Their scorn ignites what inhibits us, And then we hate ourselves. And our fear pickles us. Sitting in jars ‘cause it’s safer. Some of us are happy to live with it. But some of us know it’s against our nature. Them things you don’t show, I can see. Them things you don’t say, Speak to me. Them things you hide ain’t hiding. No firm ground but we ain’t sliding. Them things that haunt you, Let them be. That thing you weep for, Leave it. All life is forwards, You will see It’s yours when you’re ready to receive it. I could try and bold italicize and underline everything that resonates right now but it wouldn’t be informative because, you know, All of de fings.

You’re so focused on finding the differences, You ignore the bonds that bind us. Got my hand on my heart, when the rhythm hits. It’s looking for us but can’t find us. In the valley of vanity, viciousness, Full schedules and empty containers. We’re kissing the coshes that cripple us, Enjoying the beigeness.

Cool Kids Echosmith

She sees them walking in a straight line, that’s not really her style. And they all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind. Nothing in this world could ever bring them down. Yeah, they’re invincible, and she’s just in the background. And she says, “I wish that I could be like the cool kids, ‘Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in. I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.” He sees them talking with a big smile, but they haven’t got a clue. Yeah, they’re living the good life, can’t see what he is going through. They’re driving fast cars, but they don’t know where they’re going. In the fast lane, living life without knowing. And he says, “I wish that I could be like the cool kids, ‘Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in. I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids. I wish that I could be like the cool kids, ‘Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it. I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.”

I wish that I could be like the cool kids, ‘Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it. I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.”

Forged by lies I told myself Lies like ‘I will be protected’ Lies like ‘death might forget me’ Like ‘home is where I’m never invited’ Like ‘my voice provides a light’ Like ‘I can have everything I want before I die’

Now, marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same?

“I am not afraid,” he said “Of the non-believer within me No delight at the pain of my enemies No tears for any friends I have lost” “You are not alone,” I said It is a trial to keep my belief suspended I leave my violin unattended In a cab or a restaurant And then when he started to sing Nobody could’ve called them crazy Open chord forever unchanging Holy eternal drone I’ll never have any children I’d bear them and eat them, my children I’m gonna change my body In the light and the shadow of suspicion I am no longer afraid The truth doesn’t terrify us, terrify us My salvation is found in discipline, in discipline I haven’t had a smoke in years But I will catch a drag if you are smoking They told me to chew on a toothpick They told me to take a deep breath What is better is to punch a wall To bin the boxes of your old love letters To be impassive to the words that could save you To need to see the world as ash And I’ll never have any children I would bear them and confuse them, my children And I’m not at all afraid of changing But I don’t know what good it would do me I am no longer afraid The truth doesn’t terrify us, terrify us My salvation is found in discipline, in discipline

We might not be here when next year comes You better watch your back and carry a gun Baby girl, where did you go? I threw you out where the cold wind blows Are you in Vidalia with your no-good mom? Just couldn’t watch you stick it in your arm I wanted love, wanted love Oh, but I just couldn’t give enough From the boogie-down to Bowling Green I rode the night train to infinity I tempted fate and I acted smart I grew some callous on my heart I wanted love, wanted love Oh, but I just couldn’t give enough, enough Well, all these places, and all these towns What’s the point in settling down? We might not be here when next year comes You better live it like you’re on the run

Crave You Flight Facilities

Why can’t you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I stare at you Why can’t I keep you safe as my own? One moment I have you, the next you are gone Rehearsed steps on an empty stage, That boy’s got my heart in a silver cage Why can’t you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I crave you I walked into the room dripping in gold, Yeah, dripping in gold I walked into the room dripping in gold, Dripping in gold A wave of heads did turn, or so I’ve been told, or so I’ve been told My heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled.. Oh, I cannot solve Why can’t you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I stare at you Why can’t I keep you safe as my own?

Let’s just stop and think, before I lose face Surely I can’t fall, into a game of chase Around his little finger, that boy has got me curled I try to reach out, but he’s in his own world This boy’s got my head tied in knots with all his games I simply want him more, because he looks the other way Why can’t you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I stare at you Why can’t I keep you safe as my own? One moment I have you, the next you are gone Rehearsed steps on an empty stage That boy’s got my heart in a silver cage Why can’t you want me, like the other boys do? They stare at me while I crave you I am craving you.

Apparently the homework ain’t all he came for Maybe you stank ho, maybe that’s a bit mean Maybe you grew up, and I’m still living like I’m sixteen Like a child running wild in these sick streets Man, I put that bitch up on her feet, she cut a nigga deep.

I met this girl late last year She said, “Don’t you worry if I disappear.” I told her, I’m not really looking for another mistake I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait But then I jump right in A week later returned I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn But I gave her my time for two or three nights Then I put it on pause ‘til the moment was right I went away for months until our paths crossed again She told me, “I was never looking for a friend.” Maybe you could swing by my room around 10:00 Baby, bring a lemon and a bottle of gin We’ll be in between the sheets ‘til the late AM Baby, if you wanted me then you should’ve just said She’s singing Don’t fuck with my love, That heart is so cold All over my home I don’t wanna know that babe, Don’t fuck with my love I told her she knows Take aim and reload I don’t wanna know that babe For a couple weeks I Only wanna see her We drink away the days with a take-away pizza Before a text message was the only way to reach her

121

Now she’s staying at my place, and loves the way I treat her Singing out Aretha All over the track like a feature And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don’t want to either But me and her, we make money the same way Four cities, two planes the same day And those shows have never been what it’s about But maybe we’ll go together and just figure it out I’d rather put on a film with you and sit on the couch But we should get on a plane Or we’ll be missing it now Wish I’d have written it down The way that things played out When she was kissing him How? I was confused about She should figure it out while I’m sat here singing

And I never saw him as a threat Until you disappeared with him, to have sex of course It’s not like we were both on tour We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor And I wasn’t looking for a promise or commitment But it was never just fun, and I thought you were different This is not the way you realize what you wanted It’s a bit too much, too late if I’m honest All this time God knows I’m singing Don’t fuck with my love That heart is so cold All over my home I don’t wanna know that babe Don’t fuck with my love I told her she knows Take aim and reload I don’t wanna know that babe

Don’t fuck with my love That heart is so cold All over my home I don’t wanna know that babe Don’t fuck with my love I told her she knows Take aim and reload I don’t wanna know that babe Knock, knock, on my hotel door I don’t even know if she knows what for She was crying on my shoulder I already told ya Trust and respect is what we do this for I never intended to be next But you didn’t need to take him to bed, that’s all

Harvey Alex G

Success for my buddies, success for my friends, success is the only thing I understand Head back home to the place I grew up Give my medals to the ones that I love I’ll chase Harvey through the door in the wall, he says “Never catch me never miss me at all” Drool comes down from the corner of his mouth I say “I love you harvey you cut it out” I love winning baby, I want it all I wanna prove that I got the balls Harvey keeps on playing with his food, He doesnt understand what big boys do He wakes up in the middle of the night I run in and turn on the light, run my hands through his short black hair, I say “I love you Harvey, I don’t care”

Holding Grouper

I hear you calling and I want to come Run straight into the valleys of your arms, and disappear there But I know my love could fail you Because in a clearing, when the sunlight comes Exposing all the shadows of our intricate behavior I see a sort of fading We build our own unfolding It’s in the morning when the sadness comes The tears fall down in patterns on the windows, and our shape is undone You only wanted holding and I let my structure fail you You know, I watched as it unfolded. And in the image of the other hand A needle drawing pictures in the blood that runs the valley Your honesty engraves me Stay the line The pain of its derailing And in the water where a mirror opens up To show the gravity of non-repeating patterns When no one else can hold you come in and then unfold oh the lines, I’m lying just to hold you It’s in the evening when the moonlight comes Illuminating silver in the river s as they fall into the sea The beauty of their failure as the tides erase their lining There’s nothing left to hold to.

Falling in Love Again Joyce Manor

Thanks for showing me around last night. Hope you don’t think I don’t care, because I do, I just don’t know if I should feel this bad about you, after finishing your birthday drugs, look at a yearbook unprepared and betray yourself to sleep it off, then come down to collect it. I think you’re funny, I like your friends, I like the way they treat you. I’ve got some money That we could spend Not that you’re like that. I’m falling in love again.

No Rest for the Wicked Lykke Li

My one heart hurt another, So only one life can’t be enough Can you give me just another, for that one who got away? Lonely, I’m so alone now There’ll be no rest for the wicked, There’s no song for the choir. There’s no home for the weary, if you let them win without a fight If one heart can mend another Only then can we begin So won’t you hold on a little longer? Don’t let them get away I let my good one down, I let my true love die, I had his heart but I broke it every time.

Only Lies Robert Ellis

You tell yourself that you can trust him That you know him better than anybody can You don’t believe the things they tell you When the evidence is stacked Against your man Oh, I’ve seen it with my own eyes And i do not want to tell you last But you asked me here To help you to feel better Only lies can comfort you, Only lies will see you through Just because a thing’s convenient Well, that doesn’t make it true Only lies can comfort you Well, that’s fine if that’s what you want I’m sure there’s some good reason for where he’s gone Maybe he was driving and the car broke down And he’s stuck on the interstate outside of town Oh and what good is a truth when it causes so much pain for you? Your optimism’s up against a wall Only lies can comfort you, Only lies will see you through Just because a thing’s convenient, Well, that doesn’t make it true. Only lies can comfort you Only lies can comfort you Only lies will see you through Just because a thing’s convenient, Well, that doesn’t make it true. Only lies can comfort you Only lies will see you through, Only lies can comfort you.

And I will be a rainbow, oh, while your storm is gone, and I will bring the song for you and I will carry on. I’m reachin’ for the stars in the sky above oh, I will bring their beauty home, the colors of my love. And I will be a rainbow now your storm is gone, and I will bring my song to you and I will carry on. Love is enough, though the world be a wind, and the woods have no voice, but the voice of complaint My hands shall not tremble, my feet shall not falter, the voyage shall not weary, the fish shall not alter. It’s rainbow, oh it’s rainbow Oh, can’t you see the eyes, are the eyes of a lover, pocket full of hearts a world that’s filled with love. A love that carries all before, the passion and the flood I lie beneath the rainbow, now your tears have gone, and I will sing my song for you and I will carry on.

Repeat Pleasure How to Dress Well

Now that I’ve loved you, You know that I want it all the time I say there’s no one above you But now there’s a new place above that line. Now that I’ve known you, The truth could never come without your smile, But life should’ve warned you, A limit known is a limit left behind And in innocence I had wanted all of this To never subside. I never wanted miss a moment alive Without your neck to kiss, I was thrown to the night And now I know.. If you want it once, you’ll want it more baby But once you got it, You’ll need something else Even if you’re holding on For something unchanging Yeah, once you got it, You’ll want something else You shouted: ”I told you!” And I saw the sun reflected in your eyes The whole world in a dark hue Repeated without grace, a broken light Now that I’ve known you The truth could never come without your smile But life should’ve warned you, A limit known is a limit left behind And in innocence I had wanted all of this to never subside I never wanted miss a moment alive Without your neck to kiss, I was thrown to the night And now I know Even when we get what we wanted Our hearts babe will never stop longing Pleasure repeats on and on: Even broken my heart will go on! 153

Take Me to Church Hozier

My lover’s got humour, She’s the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody’s disapproval I should’ve worshipped her sooner

That looks tasty, That looks plenty, This is hungry work.

“We were born sick,” you heard them say it.

Take me to church I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my deathless death Good God, let me give you my life

My church offers no absolutes She tells me, “Worship in the bedroom.” The only heaven I’ll be sent to Is when I’m alone with you

No Masters or Kings When the Ritual begins There is no sweeter innocence, than our gentle sin

I was born sick But I love it Command me to be well Amen. Amen. Amen.

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene Only then I am human Only then I am clean Ooh oh. Amen. Amen. Amen.

If the heavens ever did speak She’s the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday’s getting more bleak A fresh poison each week

Take me to church, I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life If I’m a pagan of the good times My lover’s the sunlight To keep the goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice

Take me to church I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life.

Drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That’s a fine-looking high horse What you got in the stable? We’ve a lot of starving faithful

And the concert halls screaming, you took a bow From the floor to the ceiling The curtain came down and I wrote all my dreams in The dust on the ground Forget that old future, the future is dead It’ll twist and turn all the thoughts in your head, until you feel seasick while you’re laid on your bed, drying all of those

I’m ready oh oh I’m ready for it It’s never gonna be the same, if it was easy would you feel this way? Now there’s nothing left for us to do, except for you to be good to me, and me be good to you! Tears, tears, tears of joy tears, tears, tears of joy Well I’m holding you heart, ad I’m ready to stay, if you gave me your heart, I’m ready oh oh I’m ready for it!

Waiting on You Future Islands

Seasons change, and I tried hard just to soften you. The seasons change, but I’ve grown tired of trying to change for you. Because I’ve been waiting on you. I’ve been waiting on you. Because I’ve been waiting on you. I’ve been weighing on you. As it breaks, the summer will wake but the winter will wash what’s left of the taste. As it breaks, the summer will warm but the winter will crave what is gone, will crave what has all gone away People change, but you know some people never do. You know when people change They gain a piece, but they lose one too, Because I’ve been hanging on you, I’ve been weighing on you, Because I’ve been waiting on you, I’ve been hanging on you. I’ve been waiting on you...

Walking down the sidewalk Is that the way that you wanna be seen?

Ready with your story Funny guy Cartoon Always saying sorry Hold on, there’s something you’re gonna lose The man who turns the lights on The lover who never has to choose The girl he set his sights on Lacing up her shoes Is that the way that you are?

I can picture you staring Out the window Not caring The nights go by Oh the nights go by Is that the way that you wanna be loved? I can picture you staring Out the window Not caring The nights go by Oh the nights go by Is that the way that you are? Wear your hair down alone Tie it up when he’s there And tell me that nothing’s wrong

Your Love is Killing Me Sharon Van Etten

It’s understood, You’ll be a man by the time I see you We’ve been through better days And you’ve tasted all my pain Break my legs so I won’t walk to you Cut my tongue so I can’t talk to you Burn my skin so I can’t feel you Stab my eyes so I can’t see You like it when I let you walk over me You tell me that you like it Your love is killing me Try to tell you this when I’m sober How I feel about loving you Try to remember all the turn of events Being led by our own fantasies, fantasies Break my legs so I won’t walk to you Cut my tongue so I can’t talk to you Burn my skin so I can’t feel you Stab my eyes so I can’t see You like it when I let you walk over me You tell me that you like it When our minds become diseased There he let it go, his temper, standing there See her with his gun and he, steals love so he can feel alive Everyone’s knees knockin’ at the fear of love Taste blood Everybody needs to feel Break my legs so I won’t run to you Steal my soul so I am one with you From a distance I am on to you But I’ll stab my eyes out so I can’t see You like it, when I let you walk over me You tell me that you like it You love me as you torture me. You told me that you liked it But I won’t let you see

185

All that I can do is what I can With this pain you’ve given me With this pain you’ve given me Your love is killing me Yes, all your pain is killing me.

Animals Ghost of a Sabertooth Tiger

Everywhere you go your in a microscope your living in a fishbowl, and your mind’s under control. Say a prayer for eatin? The millionaire? Solar flare will burn the hair of man and pull the air? Animals have escaped the zoo, coming down Fifth Avenue Now there’s nothing left to do Sop running away! Stop running away! Do you believe what you read in the TVs? Messages from Jesus and the grease upon the will cheese? Do you agree with the man on the TV? Evidence that aliens brought Elvis to Pleiades? Lost in the milky way , the very first live wave boring holes in space like the glow worm in the grave? Animals have escaped the zoo, coming down Fifth Avenue Now there’s nothing left to do Sop running away! Stop running away!

Carissa Sun Kil Moon

Oh Carissa, when I first saw you, you were a lovely child. And the last time I saw you, you were fifteen and pregnant, and running wild. I remember wondering, could there be a light at the end of your tunnel? But I left Ohio, then and had pretty much forgotten all about you. I guess you were there some years ago at a family funeral. But you were one of so many relatives, I didn’t know which one was you. Yesterday morning I woke up to so many 330 area code calls. I called my mom back and she was in tears and asked had I spoke to my father. Carissa burned to death last night in a freak accident fire, in her yard in Brewster, Her daughter came home from a party and found her. Same way as my uncle, who was her grandfather An aerosol can blew up in the trash Goddamn, what were the odds? She was just getting ready To go to her midnight shift as an RN in Wadsworth And she vanished up in flames like that, But there had to be more to her life’s worth Everyone’s grieving, out of their minds Making arrangements and taking drugs But I’m flying out there tomorrow Because I need to give, and get, some hugs

195

Cause I got questions that I’d like to get answered I may never get them, but Carissa I’ve got to know, how did it happen? Carissa was thirty-five. You don’t just raise two kids, and take out your trash and die. She was my second cousin I didn’t know her well at all, but it don’t mean that I wasn’t.. Now to find some poetry To make some sense of this, to find a deeper meaning In this senseless tragedy, O Carissa I’ll sing your name across every sea Were you doing someone else’s chores for them? Were you just killing time, finding things to do all by your lonesome? Was it even you who mistakenly put flammables in the trash? Was it your kids just being kids? If so, the guilt they will carry around forever. Well I’m going out there to get a look at the landscapes, to get a look at those I’m connected by blood and see how it all may have shaped me.

Going to find out as much as I can About my little second cousin Carissa Gonna go to Ohio, where I was born got a 10:45 AM flight, I’m leaving tomorrow morn’ Going to see my aunts and uncles, my parents and sisters Mostly I’m going to pay my respects, to my little second cousin Carissa. Going to Ohio, where I feel I belong. Ask those who know the most about Carissa For it is her life and death that I am helplessly drawn. Carissa was thirty-five, raised kids since she was fifteen years old , and suddenly died. Next to an old river, fire pit, oh there’s gotta be more than that to it. She was only my second cousin, but it don’t mean that I’m not here, for her or that I wasn’t. Meant to give her life poetry, or to make sure her name is known across every city.

Well I’m going out there, though I’m not really needed I’m just so broken up about it. How is it that this sad history repeated? I’ll return to Ohio, to the place I was spawned Going to see where I hung with my cousins and played with them in the snow, and fished in their ponds. Going to see how they’ve grown, visit some graves, and say, “Hey, I’ve missed you”
