Song	Artist	Connection To The Next Song
2 - Suzanne	Leonard Cohen	Montreal
3 - Wake Up	Arcade Fire feat. David Bowie	-

Leonard Cohen noted, in a 1994 BBC interview, that the song was about encountering Suzanne Vaillancourt in a Montréal setting. He said, “………. I knew it was a song about Montreal, it seemed to come out of that landscape that I loved very much in Montreal, which was the harbour, and the waterfront, and the sailors' church there, called Notre Dame de Bon Secour, which stood out over the river, and I knew that there're ships going by, I knew that there was a harbour, I knew that there was Our Lady of the Harbour, which was the virgin on the church which stretched out her arms towards the seamen, and you can climb up to the tower and look out over the river, so the song came from that vision, from that view of the river.

Cohen was also born in Montreal. Arcade Fire is also from Montreal.

(The original Wake Up version without David Bowie is much better!)

8 - Smell like Teen Spirits	Nivirna	-

It's better to burn out than to fade away

Kurt Cobain (Nivirna) committed suicide in 1994. In his suicide note, he ended his note by citing Neil Young's song "Hey Hey My My" lyrics "It's better to burn out, than to fade away" as artistic justification for ending his inconsolable anguish. Neil Young was so devastated by Cobain's personal reaction to a song that was basically written as a celebration of Punk; he said he would never perform "Hey Hey My My" again in concert. However, he did later. (And of course, there are all these conspiracy theories that Cobain was actually murdered.)
