Magic Rabbit

My Brightest Diamond

I had a magic that could sing
Maybe I took her from her mother too early
'Cause she never came out of recovery

Even on summer days she'd complain
She couldn't take the chill out of her bones
Maybe I took her from her mother too early
I put her outside in the sunshine

All the rabbits died for supper tonight
All the rabbits died in the spotlight

I had a magic that would sing
& boy oh boy was she a pretty thing
By some great mystery she looked to me
Like she was wearing thin

Are you fading away magic
Are you fading away
Are you fading in the spotlight!

Are you fading away magic
Are you fading away all the rabbits died
Are you fading away in the spotlight
Are you fading my magic rabbit!

    I had a magic that would sing Maybe I took her from her mother too early She never came out of recovery

    Even on summer days she'd complain She couldn't take the chill out of her bones Maybe I took her from her mother too early I put her outside in the sunshine

    All the rabbits died for supper tonight All the rabbits died in the spotlight

    I had a magic that would sing And boy oh boy was she a pretty thing By some great mystery She looked to me like she was wearing thin

    Are you fading away, magic...? Are you fading away? Are you fading away? (All the rabbits died) Are you fading in the spotlight?

    Are you fading away, magic...? Are you fading away? All the rabbits died Are you fading away in the spotlight? Are you fading, my magic rabbit?

    Magic, oh... Are you fading away, magic? Are you fading away? Rabbit, rabbit Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.
