In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Un día quemé mis naves donde nací
frustrado salí de allí
mis alas eran cortadas
agonizaba...pensaba
Me despedí de mi gente y zarpé
hacia otro continente
con mi bronceado permanente
creyente...demente
Un miedo tan viejo como la guerra
se pasea por la tierra
susurrando de la calle vendrán
que de casa te sacarán
Coro
Refugiado ciudadano de ningún lado
libre, pero esclavo
viajero, no importa donde vaya
siempre seré extranjero
Adrenalina y melanina
complican la jugada
religión y biología
van de retirada
Solo Dios sabe porqué huyo
no vengo a tomar lo tuyo
del tercer mundo al primero
Dios salve al viajero
frustrado salí de allí
mis alas eran cortadas
agonizaba...pensaba
Me despedí de mi gente y zarpé
hacia otro continente
con mi bronceado permanente
creyente...demente
Un miedo tan viejo como la guerra
se pasea por la tierra
susurrando de la calle vendrán
que de casa te sacarán
Coro
Refugiado ciudadano de ningún lado
libre, pero esclavo
viajero, no importa donde vaya
siempre seré extranjero
Adrenalina y melanina
complican la jugada
religión y biología
van de retirada
Solo Dios sabe porqué huyo
no vengo a tomar lo tuyo
del tercer mundo al primero
Dios salve al viajero

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
