[The Rolling Stones]
[It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)]
If I could stick my hand in my heart,
Spill it all over the stage,
Would it satisfy you, would it slide on by you,
Would you think the boy is strange?
Ain't it stra-a-ange,
If I could win, if I could sing
A love song so divine,
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried?
If I cri-i-ied?
I said ah, no, it's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it.
Ah, no, it's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it, like it, yes I do.
I really really really really do do do do do, hey!

[Brown Sugar]
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields,
Sold in a market down in New Orleans.
Scarred old slaver, know he's doing all right.
Hear him with the women just around midnight.
Brown sugar!
How come you taste so good?
Brown sugar!
Just like a young girl should.

[You Can't Always Get What You Want]
I saw her today at the reception.
A glass of wine in her hand.
I knew she would meet her connection.
At her feet was a footloose man.
You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want.
But if you try sometimes, you might find
You get what you need.

[Honky Tonk Women]
You need honky tonk women.
Gimme gimme gimme the honky tonk blues.

[Under My Thumb]
Under my thumb, the girl who once had me down.
Under my thumb, the girl who once pushed me around.
It's down to me, yes it is.
The way she talks when she's spoken to.
Down to me, the change has come, she's under my thumb.

[Ruby Tuesday]
So goodbye, Ruby Tuesday.
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day.
Still, I'm gonna miss you.

[Sympathy For The Devil]
Hoo-oo hoo-oo hoo-oo, hoo-oo hoo-oo hoo-oo, hoo-oo hoo-oo.
Hoo-oo hoo-oo hoo-oo, hoo-oo hoo-oo hoo-oo, hoo-oo hoo-oo.

Please allow me to introduce myself.
I'm a man of wealth and taste.
I've been around for a long, long year,
Stole many a man's soul and faith.
Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name,
'Cause what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.

[Get Off Of My Cloud]
I said hey (hey) you (you) get off of my cloud.
Hey (hey) you (you) get off of my cloud.
Hey (hey) you (you) get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around, 'cause two's a crowd.

[Shattered]
(Shadoobie, shattered.)
(Shadoobie, shattered.)
Laughter, joy and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex.
Look at me,
I'm in tatters.
(Shadoobie, shattered.)
I'm shattered,
(Shadoobie, shattered.)

[Let's Spend The Night Together]
This doesn't happen to me every day, wo my.
(Let's spend the night together)
No excuses offered anyway, oh my.
(Let's spend the night together)
I'll satisfy your every need.
(Every need)
And now I know you'll satisfy me.
My my my my my my my my my.

Let's spend the night together.
Now I need you more than ever.
Let's spend the night together.
Now.

[(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction]
I can't get no satisfaction.
I can't get no girly action,
'Cause I've tried (and I've tried) and I've tried (and I've tried)
And I've tried (and I've tried) and I've tried (and I've tried)
I can't get no
I can't get no
I...can't...get...no...
Satisfaction.
Satisfaction.
Satisfaction.
Hey!

    Yup, a cool tribute. I just wish he added "Paint it, Black"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
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.
