A-Pamplona San Fermin, tra-la-la-la...

City of light, this is the city of light
Got my headphones on, tonight I feel so strong
Radio on, I've got the radio on
They played a new song, it turned me o-o-on

They had a choir, it took me higher
'Cause they sing nana...

And I'm gonna go to the city
Where life is surreal and it's pretty
In Pamplona, in Pamplona
I will phone you up and tell you that I'm
In Pamplona, in Pamplona
I will phone you up and tell you that I dared

Matador's hat, I need a matador's hat
I need a mustache and I need it fast
I'm so inspired, give me the choir
And we'll sing nana...

So call me naive or insane
Tonight I will be on that plain
In Pamplona, in Pamplona
I will phone you up and tell you that I'm
In Pamplona, in Pamplona
I will phone you up and tell you that I'm
Not a coward, not a sissy
In Pamplona I am waiting

(I'm gonna tell you what it all smells like
I'm gonna tell you that [???])

In Pamplona, in Pamplona
I will phone up and tell you that I dared

    These lyrics are wrong in several key ways. Here is my attempt at the lyrics:

    I'm sure you did! I e-mailed you with the changes, but I didn't get a response so I posted the comment. Thanks for fixing them.

    No problem. There's still some errors, though. The whole counting at the beginning is supposed to be in Italian, not in Spanish. But whatever. Close enough, right?

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

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.
