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.
We stopped the time for Jeremy Fraser
He died of a lance of silver
We stopped the time for Jeremy Fraser
He died of a lance of silver
Do you want to know how we stopped the time?
There's no reason to know
We stopped the time for Jeremy Fraser
He died of a lance of silver
In the middle of the trees all we taught him was
Freeze, freeze, freeze when it came to what
Dragged from the woods
And dumped in the middle of our old schoolyard
He was dragged from the woods and dumped
In the middle of our old schoolyard
Do you want to know how we stopped the time?
There's no reason to know
Working hard on his appearance
What can you do when you're left
With a dead and bleeding heart?
His friends grow older
He stays too young
We're sorry for the life of Jeremy Fraser
Do you want to know how we stopped the time?
There's no reason to know
We stopped the time for Jeremy Fraser
He died of a lance of silver
He died of a lance of silver
We stopped the time for Jeremy Fraser
He died of a lance of silver
Do you want to know how we stopped the time?
There's no reason to know
We stopped the time for Jeremy Fraser
He died of a lance of silver
In the middle of the trees all we taught him was
Freeze, freeze, freeze when it came to what
Dragged from the woods
And dumped in the middle of our old schoolyard
He was dragged from the woods and dumped
In the middle of our old schoolyard
Do you want to know how we stopped the time?
There's no reason to know
Working hard on his appearance
What can you do when you're left
With a dead and bleeding heart?
His friends grow older
He stays too young
We're sorry for the life of Jeremy Fraser
Do you want to know how we stopped the time?
There's no reason to know
We stopped the time for Jeremy Fraser
He died of a lance of silver

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
oh!..look at the backgound of the song and watch the video!
