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.
You're something special, something that I;ve never seen
My eyes are cupid and they're cooking up a dream
I want to kiss you. Do I?
I want to seal the deal.
Your something that I want to touch and feel.
Chorus
Fall... Don't you really want to fall from a star?
You know that heaven is not that far from a star.
I've bet you fallen deeper in the dark.
Oh baby dream about it.
Fall... Don't you really want to fall from a star?
You know that heaven is not that far from a star.
I've bet you've fallen deeper in the dark.
Oh baby dream about it.
You're something special, something that I've never seen
My eyes are cupid and they're cooking up a dream
I want to kiss you. Do I?
I want to seal the deal.
Your something that I want to touch and feel.
And I heard what you said.
I got visions in my head.
You make me suffer, watch the breakdown
I love it when you're red
I can see your inner prize
You seduce me with your eyes
I can feel it why don't we say it,
Love is in the sky....
You pick labels I pick tronpop
Listen to the beat bump
They're screaming don't stop
Ladies shaking HEY
Fellas on the WAY
Any party I'll be bumping till the break of day
You pick labels I pick tronpop
Listen to the beat bump
They're screaming don't stop
Ladies shaking HEY
Fellas on the WAY
Any party I'll be bumping till the break of day
Look it how she moves man
Look at the way she grooves man that's hot
Man I think that's hot
Just look at the way she moves man
Look at how she grooves man that's hot
Man I think that's hot
Just look at the way she moves man
Look at just how she grooves man that's hot
Man I think that's hot
Just look at the way she moves man
Look at the way grooves man that's hot
Man I think that's hot
My eyes are cupid and they're cooking up a dream
I want to kiss you. Do I?
I want to seal the deal.
Your something that I want to touch and feel.
Chorus
Fall... Don't you really want to fall from a star?
You know that heaven is not that far from a star.
I've bet you fallen deeper in the dark.
Oh baby dream about it.
Fall... Don't you really want to fall from a star?
You know that heaven is not that far from a star.
I've bet you've fallen deeper in the dark.
Oh baby dream about it.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this song is so catchy haha. first to comment :]]
