(Listen to your heart)
(Listen to your heart)

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns to dark

Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do

I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye

(Listen to your heart)

(Listen to your heart)

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams
To your dreams

Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do

I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
Listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye

(Listen to your heart)

    ok well this is what you think im not saying that what it means to me is write but this is what i think well..i think she was in a relationship and evrything seemed so perfect..then it all started to change and fall apart and then they decided to leave or something so she wants to elt you know to do what feels right when your leaving some one that you felt you loved..then it seems that "Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile" liek they're trying to fight to make it work and when they fight they forget all thegood times they had and remember the bad they are trying to make it work because it use to be like perfect and the love they felt ..felt unbreakable "the feeling of belonging to your dreams". and when he's talking to you about breaking up or staying to gether always do what you feel is write and it'll lead you through...and then when she says "And there are voices that want to be heard" i feel that it means that the description of love has changed so much over the years and like some people dont realise the pashion..as in "when love was wilder than the wind" and tehn when it says "but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye." make sure there wasnt the right love befor you end it...awesome song **** :)

    I love this song. Both the techno version and the slower version.

    But its about a girl and she is in a great relationship with a guy. But then "that love falls apart" and "Your little piece of heaven turns too dark." her love, and life now sucks because she has to "listen to your heart before you tell him good bye". So basicly, it is perfect love, that love falls apart, and she has to think (listen to her heart) before she tells him good bye.

    I believe this song is about a girl who was in a really good relationship. She's saying there's so much about him that makes her happy and she was so in-love, but love sometimes falls apart and it's not all you need. To me, she's telling you to listen to your heart, because no one else can tell you what to feel or what to do and only your heart really knows how you feel. And you should consider that before breaking up with someone and moving on with your life because what if you give up something really good and regret it later?

    Also, "Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile," means that when you're fighting, you're in it and you're so mad and you wonder if that's all there is and how many more times you can go through fighting like this. Is all the fighting worth the good that comes out of the relationship? And the good times are sometimes hidden from the anger and you can't really see things how they are.

    "And there are voices that want to be heard. So much to mention But you can't find the words"

    Like, I think this part means that when you're in it.. you can't always express what you're feeling into words and you have so much to say but just can't figure out how to say it. What you're feeling is all you can go on but you wish you could express it better.

    This song is obvious and if it isn't obvious to others than they can figure it out from the a hundred-word essay that those nerds above just posted. Anyway, I like DHT and techno and dance music too.

    the slow version reaches its eerie reverb vocals over piano right into my fragile soul.

    My Opinion

    I just wonder has anyone thought of it this way? Cuz this is what I get. When shes saying "sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile, the precious moments are all lost in the tide....." Its like shes saying she's not sure if the relationship is worth all the time and effort she puts into it because all the good times seem to be lost in all the bad memories, like they are "swept away with the tide"

    My Interpretation

    i got this song song sooooo diffrently than anyone else . when i heard this song , a guy id talk to many times was trying to work things out with me , i really like him , & want to date him , but i always say no because of a well kinda silly but idk reason . This is what i got out of it.

    I know there's something in the wake of your smile. (he makes me smile) I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah. ( from his eyes ) You've built a love but that love falls apart. ( we built a love ) Your little piece of heaven turns too dark. (.. )

    Listen to your heart ( shes telling ME to listen to MY heart. ) when he's calling for you. ( when hes calling for me ) Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do. I don't know where you're going ( she doesnt know where im goin) and I don't know why, ( or know why) but listen to your heart (shes telling me to listen to my heart. ) before you tell him goodbye. ( before i tell him goodbye )

    Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile. ( is it worth being with him) The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah. They're swept away and nothing is what is seems, ( my memories will think of bad instead of good) the feeling of belonging to your dreams. ( WOOW , this made me be like SAYY WHAT ?! cause i alwayss have crazy dreams about this guy)

    Listen to your heart when he's calling for you. Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do. I don't know where you're going and I don't know why, but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.

    And there are voices ( he wants to be heard , he wants me to know he loves me) that want to be heard. So much to mention but you can't find the words. ( I NEVER KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO HIM . ) The scent of magic, the beauty that's been when love was wilder than the wind. ( hes so fun . )

    I think she is talking to PEOPLE in general when she sings this song . telling them to listen to there heart. crazy thing is , in all of my dreams he rejects me .. idk what to do .

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”

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Album art
Plastic Bag
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.
