It's a beautiful day, yeah
If you look up in the air, you can see the sky
It's a beautiful day, yeah
If you stare at the sun, you would burn your eyes

I do not believe in the lucky numbers
No, I do not believe in the wishing on a star
Yeah, to tell you the truth, I know there is a good reason
For all your bad dreams

You know that it's true
People love to tell you things that will break your heart
Yeah, people love to break your heart
Yeah, people love to break your heart

I do not believe in the things I cannot see
I do not believe in the pretty the skies
Yeah, to tell you the truth
I know they want me to believe they know what's best for me

You know it's true
Those people love to hit you when you close your eyes
People love to hurt you when you close your eyes

(You will never see it coming)
Yeah
(You will never see it coming)
Yeah

It's a beautiful day, yeah, yeah
It's a beautiful day, yeah, yeah
It's a beautiful day, yeah, yeah
It's a beautiful day, yeah, yeah

It's a beautiful day
(Look up the sky is down)
Such a beautiful day
(Look up the sky is down)

It's a beautiful day
(Look up the sky is down)
It's a beautiful day
(Look up the sky is coming down)

It's a beautiful day
(Look up the sky is coming down)
It's a beautiful day
(Look up the sky is coming down)

It's a beautiful day
(Look up the sky is coming down)
It's a beautiful day
(Look up)

You will never see it coming
You will never see it coming
You will never see it coming
You will never see it coming

    "People love to hurt you when you close your eyes"=most people close their eyes when they kiss, and if you kiss with your eyes open it supposedly means you're untrustworthy.

    Great song that shows how getting your heart broken affects your entire worldview.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.
Album art
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.
Album art
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.
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.
