Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2 cover)

Pillar

I can't believe the news today
Oh I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long how long must we sing this song
How long
How long

Cause tonight we can be as one
Tonight

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the deadened street
But I wont heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday (Sunday Bloody Sunday)

Let's go

And the battles just begun
There's many lost but tell me who has won
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers sisters torn apart

How long
How long must we sing this song
How long
How long

Cause tonight we can be as one
Tonight
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday

(Wipe your tears away)

And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die and the battles just begun
to claim the victory that Jesus Won

Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
