This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Don't you swing like a child,
In a tree, on a tire, in 85?
There's an arc that your feet will ride
On the way between hate and that Sunday fire
You look so serious
Oh, you look so serious
The night is serving us
But you look so serious
And this could be our reward
This could be it
This simple Friday night
Where you're loosening your tie
But there's a tightness in your eyes
You look so serious
Why do you look so serious?
The night is serving us
And we're deserving it
And this could be our reward
This could be it
(this could be all we're owed)
(All we're owed, all we're getting)
Cause if we swing like a child
Then we're always colliding this time of night
But our arcs, they could align
(We could align! we could align!)
And over gravity up comes this kicking child
In a tree, on a tire, in 85?
There's an arc that your feet will ride
On the way between hate and that Sunday fire
You look so serious
Oh, you look so serious
The night is serving us
But you look so serious
And this could be our reward
This could be it
This simple Friday night
Where you're loosening your tie
But there's a tightness in your eyes
You look so serious
Why do you look so serious?
The night is serving us
And we're deserving it
And this could be our reward
This could be it
(this could be all we're owed)
(All we're owed, all we're getting)
Cause if we swing like a child
Then we're always colliding this time of night
But our arcs, they could align
(We could align! we could align!)
And over gravity up comes this kicking child

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
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.

I think this is about being happy, because maybe you and I being together, right now, is all the thanks God or whoever, is going to give you for being good. Or, be happy, because being alive right now, today, is all the gift you get.
My favorite song on the CD. It's just so fun and happy. There's never a time I don't want to listen to it.
I think this is a lot like Red Heart in that he is enticing a love interest to relax, let down her guard and just be. Another great song.
When I attended a Hey Rosetta! concert a few years ago, I remember it was at the end of the week and I almost didn't feel like going. I was so tired and felt like I could use a night off. I ended up going to the concert, thankfully, and Tim Baker explained some meaning behind the song.
He explained how no matter what your day or week was like, when you attend a concert, it's as if your arc is aligning with everyone else's. Doesn't matter if you're young or old or what kind of life you live, music brings everyone together. Even if it's for a short time, you'll forget about whatever is stressing you out and feel a connection with everyone and everything around you.
