It’s the end of spring
And light hangs on
Dripping over geraniums
And hummingbird wings
In the blaze of summer
We’ll tap our weapons out
To the cadence of a melody
They sang at normandy:
“It won’t be the same again
Emma, just walk away it’s the end”
We crossed on the ridge
And cut their women down
I climbed up on the minaret
And occupied the town
They scattered in the woods
To gather up their strength
Dripping blood on the road
Oh how the animals looked on
They all see how we’ve changed
All the rules of the game
I can see both sides
And it paralyzed me
An eye for an eye
Was a way to limit revenge
We’ve done away with all of that
Oh read how it all begins
It was written years ago
Same names, same war
I can see both sides
And it paralyzed me inside
And light hangs on
Dripping over geraniums
And hummingbird wings
In the blaze of summer
We’ll tap our weapons out
To the cadence of a melody
They sang at normandy:
“It won’t be the same again
Emma, just walk away it’s the end”
We crossed on the ridge
And cut their women down
I climbed up on the minaret
And occupied the town
They scattered in the woods
To gather up their strength
Dripping blood on the road
Oh how the animals looked on
They all see how we’ve changed
All the rules of the game
I can see both sides
And it paralyzed me
An eye for an eye
Was a way to limit revenge
We’ve done away with all of that
Oh read how it all begins
It was written years ago
Same names, same war
I can see both sides
And it paralyzed me inside

I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
really great, it speaks about spring and summer.. but there's autumn inside.
this song is actually about the Iraq war, as is a lot of JV's music now. it shows what war does to individuals and that even though JV is against the war he can see both sides of the conflict as well as the issue in american politics.
radical song.... world war 2 is the obvious topic... but it's probably about something else too, I don't know.
something something war
