Simple Machine

Earth to Andy

I knew a man, said he'd walked with Kings
Seemed like walkin' was his only thing
Born on the heel and he took to the wing, yeah
Love just has its ways
Oh, could it get ya today?

I can get you every second
I can give you everything ya need
To make your smile more permanent

And if I promised you a fortune,
You know that would be a lie
Cause everything is nothing
Love just has its way...
Love just has its way...

I know a woman, fell apart at the seams
Took in the devil and threw out her dreams
Love has its ways,
It's a simple machine, yeah
Love just has its way
Oh, could it get ya today?

I can get you every second
I can give you everything ya need
To make your smile more permanent

And if I promised you a fortune
You know that would be a lie
Cause everything is nothing
Love just has its way...

What can I do
Listen to you
If you want me or not
What can I say
Throw me away
Or keep me because I need you so much

I can get you every second
I can give you everything ya need
To make your smile more permanent

And if I promised you a fortune
You know that would be a lie
Cause everything is nothing
Love just has its way

Everything is nothing
Love just has its way...
Love just has its way...
Love...
Has its way...

    Obviously boy is in love with girl and although he may or may not have money, money means nothing if they don't have each other

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Magical
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.
