Solar term
A solar term is any of 24 points in traditional East Asian lunisolar calendars that matches a particular astronomical event or signifies some natural phenomenon. The points are spaced 15° apart along the ecliptic and are used by lunisolar calendars to stay synchronized with the seasons, which is crucial for agrarian societies. The solar terms are also used to calculate intercalary months in East Asian calendars; which month is repeated depends on the position of the sun at the time.
Solar terms originated in China, then spread to Korea, Vietnam, and Japan, countries in the East Asian cultural sphere. This is exhibited by the fact that traditional Chinese, Hanja, and Kanji characters for most of the solar terms are identical.
Because the Sun's speed along the ecliptic varies depending on the Earth-Sun distance, the number of days that it takes the Sun to travel between each pair of solar terms varies slightly throughout the year. Each solar term is divided into three pentads (候 hou), so there are 72 pentads in a year. Each pentad consists of five, rarely six, days, and are mostly named after phenological (biological or botanical) phenomena corresponding to the pentad.

TAKE A RIDE
by: Jake(Spoken dialogue)
(Hello?
Hey, it's me.
Hey, what's up?
Uh, me and the boys were gonna go for a ride, downtown or
Something. You wanna come?
Yeah, I guess.
Can we take your car?
What?)
Yeah, uh-huh
C'mon baby
VERSE ONE:
Come and take a ride with me
It's time to leave your worries behind
Take a little time at the wheel
'Cause I know it's gonna be alright
I've got to get away
Baby, can't you see
Listen what I say
Everybody, one two three, take a ride with me, c'mon
CHORUS:
Run away from the world behind you
(Run away, your cares won't find you)
Up ahead is where your cares won't find you
You gotta go where your soul is free
(Take a ride with me)
Baby, one two three, take a ride with me, c'mon
Down the road, don't you know you're flying
(Down the road, the stars are shining)
You'll be headed where the stars are shining
(Take a ride with me)
You've gotta go where your soul is free
Baby, one two three, take a ride with me
C'mon
C'mon baby
VERSE TWO:
Checkin' out the scene tonight
And your favorite song is on the radio
Everybody feels so right
And I know, it's time for us to go
Got to get away
Baby, can't you see
Listen what I say
Everybody, one two three, take a ride with me, c'mon
(repeat Chorus)
Yeah
Yeah---
Come and take ride
C'mon
Run away, your cares won't find you (oh)
Take a ride with me (oh---)
Down the road, the stars are shining
Take a ride with me
Got to get away
Baby, can't you see
Listen what I say
Everybody, one two three
