Oohhh

From the other feilds, East of Dublin looks just like a watercolour.
When the streets arrise upto meet the plain, nobody notices.

And I miss your face more than anything in the world.
And I miss your face more than anything in the world.
Whiskey for everybody,
to us and to all left behind.

Beautiful morning, you've got some place to be.
So if you have to go, be sure to think of me.
'Cus I miss your face more than anything in the world.
And I miss your face more than anything in the world.

Whiskey for everybody, whisper the words before your out the door again.

I believe that your were right.
The seas are full and stars are falling.
I believe that you were right,
we, we were so young, when we left home.

From the feilds to the air, over Dublin looks just like a watercolour.
And even in empty arms, I feel the weight of you.

Ohhh

I miss your face more than anything in the world.
I miss your face more than anything.

Whiskey for everybody,
To us and to all we left behind when we left home.

    this song is awesome, as in gary in general, the lyrics themselves are blatantly obvious and in no way cryptic or symbolic, so just copying and pasting the lyrics would expain them

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
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.

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.
Album art
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.
