This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
They sat through the night
In an empty apartment
Three older gentlemen came inside
And they brought wine and cards and chocolate
And Joey smoked on a cigar and came back in
So you think he's something special do you mean?
He is no one
He is a stranger I met on the street
He stared through hard, cold insolent eyes
Turned his gaze with her
Fear hidden quite secure under blank features
Protruding middle she sat unashamed
She read his judgment on his concerned face
With slight sarcasm he addressed her case
Is it too much to ask to know about your lover's name?
He is no one
He is a stranger I met on the street
He never touched me
You're all I need
And will ever need
But his eyes won't be almond like yours nor blue like mine
With all the sins of the world in the iris
There's no false blood
But you will love him
He's from Gold Gardens
Our help before Atlas was ever born, alright
He is no one
He is no one
Stranger I met on the street
He never touched me
You're all I need
And will ever need
He is no one
He is no one
Stranger I met on the street
They sat through the night
In an empty apartment
Three older gentlemen came inside
And they brought wine and cards and chocolate
And Joey smoked on a cigar and came back in
So you think he's something special do you mean?
He is no one
He is a stranger I met on the street
He stared through hard, cold insolent eyes
Turned his gaze with her
Fear hidden quite secure under blank features
Protruding middle she sat unashamed
She read his judgment on his concerned face
With slight sarcasm he addressed her case
Is it too much to ask to know about your lover's name?
He is no one
He is a stranger I met on the street
He never touched me
You're all I need
And will ever need
But his eyes won't be almond like yours nor blue like mine
With all the sins of the world in the iris
There's no false blood
But you will love him
He's from Gold Gardens
Our help before Atlas was ever born, alright
He is no one
He is no one
Stranger I met on the street
He never touched me
You're all I need
And will ever need
He is no one
He is no one
Stranger I met on the street
They sat through the night

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
the first part is about jesus' birth, but in a more modern sense. "the empty apartment" is the setting of jesus' birth (the barn? i can't think of the right word) "three older gentelmen" being the wisemen and the "wine, cards and chocolate" being the gold francensne and myrhh?
and the part "with all the sins of the world in the iris, there's no false blood, but you will love him, he's from gold gardens our help before atlas was ever born" that's clearly about Christ. he died for the sins of the world, and he is perfect because he is God so his blood isn't tainted by sin. Gold Gardens would be heaven. And he has always and always will be the answer for the world and our guidance.
when she says "he is no one. stranger i met on the street. he never touched me. you're all I need and will ever need" that's talking about how she never met him personally in the flesh but she knows him spiritually and he is everything she'll ever need.
I'm pretty sure this is the nativity, and not quite what you said, katievanish.
Mary's explaining to Joseph who the father of her baby is.
The scene - "Protruding middle (pregnant, Jesus is still inside) she sat unashamed She read his judgment on his concerned face" Joseph is suspicious of the father (they've probably never had sex before, like the real nativity, so he knows it's not his).
"With slight sarcasm he addressed her case Is it too much to ask to know about your lover's name? " - I can imagine him asking, as he sucks on a cigarette; "So ... (puff) ... who's the father, eh?"
The rest of the song, save the last line is Mary's reply - "But his eyes won't be almond like yours nor blue like mine With all the sins of the world in the iris" First clue - It's Jesus. He's neither hers nor his.
"But you will love him He's from Gold Gardens (WTF? It's heaven, but I've never heard it put that way. Sounds like a retirement village). Our help before Atlas was ever born, alright." Joseph must love Jesus, because he is the Messiah, destined to come into the world before the the world existed.
Meg&Dia rock.
Also, buy the Santa Cause albums. The songs are all top-notch. And some of the money goes to charity.
this is an amazing song and i love the point of view of it
but i was looking into it, and from what i understand, mary was already holding jesus before she met joseph.
From Matthew 1:
"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost."
am i understanding that right?
no, in biblical terms of marriage, "coming together" is having sex. it's just a reiteration of sorts that through no sexual means was Jesus conceived, that it was a miracle, that Mary is a virgin, and so on and so forth.
... and when i say holding, i mean pregnant with, and that she hasn't had the child yet at that point.
