Mother Madam

Carey Ott

Now's the time to break these chains.
Now's the time to pack these things along.
You're a big girl in the same small town.
Pick yourself up off the ground,
Mother Madam, Mother Madam, Mother Madam.

It's another sticky corporate afternoon,
with all the simple deals out there on the moon.
Now's the time to break these chains.
Now's the time to pack these things along.
We wouldn't leave here without you.
We wouldn't be here without you,
We wouldn't be here without you,

Mother Madam

Mother Madam

Don't get carried away so soon.
Don't get carried away so soon.
Don't get carried away too soon.

Mom, I couldn't find you, you were lost out of space
Mom, I would invite you to escape.

I wouldn't leave here without you,
I wouldn't be here without you.
We wouldn't leave here without you,
We wouldn't be here without you.

Mother Madam

Mother Madam

Don't get carried away so soon
Don't get carried away so soon
Don't get carried away so soon
Don't get carried away so soon

Don't get carried away too soon

Don't get carried away so soon
Don't get carried away so soon
Don't get carried away so soon

    This song really shows the kind of person Ott is. Despite how much we owe our mothers, very few male artists will write a song like this and with this much sentiment. Ott's good people.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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

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.

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.
