Limp Bizkit-Take It Home

The first thing I want to mention about this track is that it is one mystery track. This song is rarely mentioned in their discography. It just starts playing after 'Red Light, Green Light'. I noticed a site saying that it was a hidden track. Dunno what that is supposed to mean.
Another thing is that the words 'Take It Home' are no where in its lyrics. I have no idea why they named the song like that.
Anyway, about the track:
This song is total turn on!! At least it was for me!! I didn't want it to end, once it begun. I'm looking for an adjective to describe it...can't call it 'beautiful'...can't call it 'rocking' or anything like that. Its...ummm..got it...its groovy!! It takes you with it.
It has been layered beautifully. The best thing about the song is that guitar (I'm not really sure that is a guitar). It rings in your ears and goes straight into you.
The lyrics are amazing. You feel like listening to them again and again and again.
And then, of course, there's Fred Durst's voice. Amazing, as it always is..

Here are the lyrics, will post download link later:
(give it up)
whoo
(give it up)
yo lethal
(give it up)
give it up

Nobody knows what they don't know
So never think you might know me
And that's something to take home tonight

Nobody knows the way the candle burns
And I've learned to play both ends
And that's something to take home tonight

If I try enough, and get high enough
Most grown men don't cry enough
So I'ma cry myself to sleep
Cry myself to sleep

If I try enough, and get high enough
Most grown men don't cry enough
So I'ma cry myself to sleep
Cry myself to sleep

(give it up)
Cry myself to sleep x4
(give it up)

Yui-Again

This is a song I fell in love with the moment I heard it. The first thing about this song that captures you is Yui's voice. There is something about it that is unusual but so refreshing and pleasant. It seemed to me to be filled with innocence (hope this didn't sound funny). Her voice is enough to make you fall for this song. Another fact that I just learned(though I cannot vouch for its authenticity) is that Yui actually composed this song, wrote it and (of course) sang it. That is remarkable talent. This is the first song of hers that I heard. I'm definitely a Yui fan!!
There is definitely more to this song than just Yui's voice. It is the varying mount of music put into it. One thing that this song is not is that it is not monotonous. It totally captures you. It is slow and then fast...Its amazing.
This is a Japanese song. I've recently taken a tremendous liking to Japanese songs inspite of the fact that I don't know a word of Japanese. So, now it is quite obvious that I didn't get the meaning of this song. But I'm sure that the meaning is deep because this song was chosen to be the opening theme for the most anticipated anime of 2009 - Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
What I think lacks in this song is emotion in the initial part of the song, just the initial part. Further along in the song it has the perfect quantity of aggressiveness.
It is a song full of energy, has a great vibe to it.
All in all, it is an amazing song. I cannot believe anyone in the whole wide world wouldn't like this song. A must listen for everyone irrespective of the genre you prefer. I'll post a download link as soon as possible and also the lyrics.
