Dead ceiling
Is what I guess he stared at when he heard
For reasons
In the depth of wildly whispered words
Slow time beats
In the morning passed around it
Although I can't make it better
I'll catch you if you fall

And I want to thank you for living
Solitude
And though I never told you
How I felt
I'm doing it now
Crimson glow

Burned out before it reached the fingers
The first time in his life he let it go
And what he could, and what he would
Will be remembered
Even though

I know I
Can't do anything to change it
You're standing
On the brink of destiny
She's crying
Because the dad she once had is gone
And if it don't get better
You know who you can call

And I want to thank you for living
Solitude
And though I never told you
How I felt
I'm doing it now
Crimson glow

    I wonder if the song title was taken from My So-Called Life. Crimson Glow was the name of Angela's hair color. :)

    Song Meaning

    If I remember right, this one's about Benjy's girlfriend's father who died of cancer, but always had a cigar in hand (hence the Crimson Glow from the cherry). There's also some lyrics at the end that are missing:

    Blow smoke in the reaper's face, come on. For that you'll be remembered by me. This breath I give to you won't be missed. Crimson glow is lit again, in me, in me.

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"

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”

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.

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.

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.
