Brown Eyed Blues

Adrian Hood

She's got those eyes, those eyes
That'll see, right through you
When she leaves then I
I wanna leave, with her too
And she's on, my mind
Like all, all the time
When we touch, I go weak
And I can hardly speak

And I hope that she thinks about me
'Cause I'm always thinking of her
(Always thinking of her)

I just wanna hold her hand, be her man
I wanna know if she'd take a chance
'Cause I'm still not revealing
'Cause I still get the feeling
That loving her, is a game i'll always lose
I got the brown eyed blues

It's a shame, I didn't meet her before
'Cause now I wanna see her more than I should
Who's to blame, when she's always on my mind
And I'd see her all the time if I could

And I hope that she cares about me
'Cause I know that I care for her

I just wanna hold her hand, be her man
I wanna know if she'd take a chance
'Cause I'm still not revealing
'Cause I still get the feeling
That loving her, is a game i'll always lose
I got the brown eyed blues

I don't wanna be with anybody else
Said she makes me take a good look at myself
She brings out the best in me
She doesn't think any less of me
When I do the wrong thing
She loves me for me and I can't explain

'Cause I'm still not revealing
'Cause I still get the feeling
That loving her, is a game i'll always lose
I got the brown eyed blues

I just wanna hold her hand, be her man
I wanna know if she'd take a chance
'Cause I'm still not revealing
'Cause I still get the feeling
That loving her, is a game i'll always lose
I got the brown eyed blues

    i dont really get though why he says "She loves me for me and I can't explain" and then "loving her, is a game i'll always lose"

    ...if she loves him, then why would loving her be a game he always loses? yeah i dont really get it. still love the song though

    My Interpretation

    She's got those eyes, those eyes That'll see, right through you When she leaves then I I wanna leave, with her too And she's on, my mind Like all, all the time When we touch, I go weak And I can hardly speak

    • he's probably talking about a girl he really likes (an ex girlfriend or a girls he's crushing on)

    And I hope that she thinks about me 'Cause I'm always thinking of her (Always thinking of her)

    I just wanna hold her hand, be her man I wanna know if she'd take a chance 'Cause I'm still not revealing 'Cause I still get the feeling That loving her, is a game i'll always lose I got the brown eyed blues

    • he's sad cuz he doesnt think he deserves her or thinks that he doesnt stand a chance and that she's too good for him

    It's a shame, I didn't meet her before 'Cause now I wanna see her more than I should Who's to blame, when she's always on my mind And I'd see her all the time if I could

    • she probably lives a distance away that would make it hard for them to see eachother

    And I hope that she cares about me 'Cause I know that I care for her

    I just wanna hold her hand, be her man I wanna know if she'd take a chance 'Cause I'm still not revealing 'Cause I still get the feeling That loving her, is a game i'll always lose I got the brown eyed blues

    I don't wanna be with anybody else Said she makes me take a good look at myself She brings out the best in me She doesn't think any less of me When I do the wrong thing She loves me for me and I can't explain

    • she makes him feel good so he sets his heart on her

    'Cause I'm still not revealing 'Cause I still get the feeling That loving her, is a game i'll always lose I got the brown eyed blues

    I just wanna hold her hand, be her man I wanna know if she'd take a chance 'Cause I'm still not revealing 'Cause I still get the feeling That loving her, is a game i'll always lose I got the brown eyed blues

    ps i love this song!

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

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
