The Pilgriming Vine

Basia Bulat

Sometime now I've been divine in the end of a snowy morning
Sometime now I've been afraid that the pilgriming vine is
Finally coming to take me
I could be one of them waiting
I could be one of them falling down below
So quietly wishing my only
Never looks down mother maple
If he goes
Never looks down if he goes

Tomorrow I'll know if the silver in your eyes
Crossing down on your cheek
And tomorrow I'll know by the rubies in your voice
They've been calling your name to me lately
You have been one of them waiting
I have been one of them falling
Down below so
Tell me you're always my only
Never look down mother maple
If I go
Never look down if I go

Sometime now I've been divine in the end of a snowy morning
Sometime now I've been afraid that the pilgriming vine is
Finally coming to take me
Taste it and tell me it's savoury
Hold it up high to the light and
Let it grow and
Tell me you're always my only
Never look down mother maple
If you go
Never look down if you go

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.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.
