This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
She grew up with the children of the stars
In the Hollywood hills and the boulevard
Her parents threw big parties, everyone was there
They hung out with folks like
Dennis Hopper and Bob Seeger and Sonny and Cher
She feels safe now, in this bar on Fairfax
And from the stage I can tell that
She can't let go and she can't relax
And just before she hangs her head to cry
I sing to her a lullaby
I sing, everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Rockabye
She still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile
And all her friends tell her
She's so pretty
But she'd be a whole lot prettier
If she smiled once in a while
'Cause even her smile looks like a frown
She's seen her share of devils in this angel town
But, everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye (dry your tired eyes)
Everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Rockabye
Ooh, ooh, ahh
I told her I ain't so sure about this place
It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face
Seems like everybody's got a plan
It's kind of like Nashville with a tan
But Everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right (I'll be your every)
Rockabye, rockabye (dry your tired eyes)
Everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right (I'll be your every)
Rockabye, rockabye (dry your tired eyes)
Everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye, rockabye, bye, bye (ahh)
Bye, bye

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I'd still like to know who the song is about. There has to be someone out there on the internet who can point out clues based on the lyrics.
@Ekkostar Drew Barrymore? Just a guess but it entered my subconscious...

@Ekkostar Dominique Swain shows up in the video, and the last scenes have her<br /> sinking in a swimming pool during a gala party - but the song is not about her - my<br />
@Ekkostar I think it’s Carrie Fisher. It could be many people, and maybe it’s going to always be a secret who inspires it. But Carrie hung around SNL people. And Adam Sandler used another Shawn Mullins song for credits in one of his movies. (George Harrison’s What is life”) People might shoot down the Carrie theory by saying she was a pretty big celebrity. And she dumped Paul Simon! I would like to off er her masterpiece “Postcards from the Edge”.
its about someone who is lost in their life...they are not happy although people assume that her life is perfect its not. People pretend that things are okay when they are not..look for signs because inside they could be dying slowly
this is a purdy song. lotsa emotion. his voice sounds great, too. i just don't get the "nashville with a tan" part. >_
@Broken Hope what he means by "Nashville with a tan" is the city is like Hollywood in the sense that people tend to move there to get famous. Hollywood for movies and T.V. But Nashville is huge for the music scene, people tend to move to Nashville to make it in music like people move to Hollywood to make t in movies.
I like this song a lot but I don't get that nashville part either. I'm from Belgium, maybe that's why... ;-)
This song is so calming. It really is a lullaby. His soft voice in the verses goes really well with the sincere chorus. This song was put together well.. To have him only singing the chorus. It simulates what the song is about and I think that's genius.
This is just such a relaxing song, if you feel like things are out of hand, this song reassures you that things are going to be ok it will all pass over.
I just read that this song may have been inspired by Dominique Dunne's tragic story and that the actress on the video was even named Dominique. I don't know how true it is, they had other reasons why they thought that.
really really really good song, and i like the video too. they need to start playing it again tho
this song is really awesome. it really is a greta lullaby
its really sad, a lot of friends told me this one was my song its really nice and sometimes i feel that way
