The Experience: Is this song just trying to tell us that love and sex are the same thing? Is it all about trying harder to sexually please each other just to show how hard they are in love?
Little Toy Guns - Carrie Underwood
The Experience: A little girl caught in the crossfire... Carrie Underwood looks deep into the suffering that words can bring down on ourselves, and on the innocent people under our care...
Tomorrow (Annie) - Quvenzhane Wallis
by Minerva Carrillo
The Experience: The sun will come out tomorrow. So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow, come what may! Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow. You're always a day away.
There will always be new opportunities for those who wait for them...because the sun will come out tomorrow.

Shots - Imagine Dragons
The Experience: Oh I'm sorry for everything oh everything I've done. From the second that I was born it seems I had a loaded gun, and then I shot a hole through everything I love. I know I've messed up. It seems like everything I've done has gone wrong. But I want to change, and I believe that somehow good can triumph, and we can let this drift away...
FourFive Seconds - Rihanna ft. Kanye ft. Paul McCartney
by Simon Cleary
The Experience: Paul McCartney's acoustic guitar blends well with Rihanna's soulful voice - as she completely changes her style for something new. She and Kanye lament dragging on with life. FourFive Seconds sings about just barely holding back both boredom and lashing out.
London Lights - Meghan Trainor
The Experience: And honestly I won't catch up on sleep tonight. I'll be looking in the London lights and missing you... Places are only as beautiful as the experiences you live there.
Nobody Love - Tori Kelly
The Experience: Ain't nobody love like you two... Go beyond being in love. Become love.
Phoenix - Molly Sandén
The Experience: Hit me one more time. One, two, three, just give me more. 'Cause with every strike I'll be stronger than before... Gotta die to stay alive... The key to suffering isn't learning to grin and bear it. It's knowing that the pain is your path to victory.
Friction - Imagine Dragons
The Experience: What do snowboarders, skateboarders, race car drivers, runners, bobsledders,truck drivers, jump ropers, handball players, quarterbacks, and people who love parkour have in common? They all love a little bit of friction. So therefore a little fiction in your own life is not such a bad thing after all!
Fly - Avril Lavigne
The Experience: Life is so much different when we approach it with a positive outlook. Maybe the only thing different between a good day and a bad one, or a happy life and a sad one for that matter, is our attitude?
Haunted (50 Shades of Grey) - Beyonce
by Minerva Carrillo
The Experience: It's what you do, it's what you see. I know if I'm haunting you, you must be haunting me. It's where we go, it's where we'll be...I know if I'm onto you, I'm onto you, you must be on to me...
The experience of being haunted by someone is scary...and has nothing to do with real romance.

Keep It Undercover - Zendaya
by Simon Cleary
The Experience: Bouncing pop stanzas alternate with a first pleading then computerized chorus in Keep It Undercover. Zendaya plays with hiding her emotions and trying to be in control, while the lyrics show her interior struggle.
