Dear slim i wrote you but you aint callen'
its been a couple years now since i wrote that song en
alot has changed now for you and I
I had no clue that I would write a song for you and
it would change some lives
Kids with tears in the eyes
they now come up to me
showing love to me
and tellin' me that they look up to me
The effects to me well
its really kinda strange to see
I only wanted to share with you now
Jesus done for me
but theres' a whole nother side to things now
that I come to see
Its a huge influence you got upon on the industry
but enough of me
cause its not what i came to say to you
not a day goes by when i take time to pray for you
sorry now for what your mom and dad
what they did to you
but i can relate with you
cause well see dude iv' been there too
I know theres a lot of pain and hurt
now that youv been through
but never forget theres a real love that God gave to you

la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la Its still to whom it may concern

Yo dear slim i wrote you and you still aint callen
backstage at the VMAs someone gave you my song and
I kinda wonderen what you thought man
Or when that guy walked up to you
and talked to you and put it in your hands
Maybe you never listen to it or
maybe you lost it
or maybe you heard it and you just got mad
and then you tossed it
did he hits you back
thats the question i always get
Im like well god forbid you might even of liked it
I dont know but
congratulations on your movie yo and
Heard your last record well ova ten million sold
but theres one thing that gots me thinkin bro
dose the grammy mean anything if its just got a carcass sole
In case you didnt know theres a lovin that will never go away
you say your goin to hell but it dont have to be that way
see the bottom line of what im tryin to say is
God puts back the broken peaces
that are were thrown away
If even everyone you know
just up and goes away
he'll still love you till the very day
of that old and gray
to bad alot of Christians all they do is hate on you
instead of dropen it there knees
and taken time to pray for you
its ovious that you really love your daughter dude
for that i gota tell you well i really got respect for you
so here it is dear slim chapter part 2
another cat tring to make it just like you

la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la Its still to whom it may concern

Yo dear slim did you hear the junk that im goin through
Kinds sending me hate mail and telling me
how im bitin you
telling me how they gonna beat me up and just kill me too
but alot of people they just seem to get my song confused
see what i say to you i know it might even sound funny
but i never came at you just to paint you has the enemy
it wasn't about haten or startin some controversy
it wasn't about blamen you or tryn to make some money na
i dont claim to know everything that youv experienced
man i dont even know if even ever be hearen this
but i said it once and i still hold it is
is that a life with out Christ is still a life that is never fixed
ill tell you this even if its a hard pill to swallow
like it or not slim your gonna always be a roll model
do you know these kids were the ones they always follow
what we say and how we live gives them a better tomorrow
iv had my share of srrow plus man iv been rejected
iv been chewed up spit out and plus disrespected
but if i die to day and never sale another record
Jesus gave me more than i ever could of been expected
i know life is hectic it can leave you blowin away
but check it bro cause we just gonna die someday
and on that note well theres only one thing still left to say
theres still one love and one God and only one way

la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la Its still to whom it may concern

la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la Its still to whom it may concern

    ivand... Not the most eloquente way to put it, but I agree. Singing about God is fine. But making a song that is to written to another person is inappropiate. Yes we can put in death threats or people mothers into songs. That's not good either.

    My point is the same as it is in my comment in part 1, Religion don't belong in a song of this sort.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
