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”
I'm getting tired of asking
This is the final time
So did I make you happy because you cried an ocean
When there's a thousand lines about the way you smile written in my mind
But every single word's a lie
I never wanted everything to end this way
But you can take a blue sky and turn it gray
I swore to you that I would do my best to change
But you said, "It don't matter"
I'm looking at you from another point of view
I don't know how the hell I fell in love with you
I never wish for anyone to feel the way I do
Is this a sign from heaven showing me the light
Was this supposed to happen
I'm better of without you so you can leave tonight
And don't you dare come back and try to make things right
'Cause I'll be ready for a fight
Yeah
I never wanted everything to end this way
But you can take a blue sky and turn it gray
I swore to you that I would do my best to change
But you said, "It don't matter"
I'm looking at you from another point of view
I don't know how the hell I fell in love with you
I never wish for anyone to feel the way I do
Hey
I never wanted everything to end this way
But you can take a blue sky and turn it gray
I swore to you that I would do my best to change
But you said, "It don't matter"
I'm looking at you from another point of view
I don't know how the hell I fell in love with you
I never wish for anyone to feel the way I do
(You said and you said and you said)
I do
(You said and you said and you said)
I do
(You said, "It don't matter")
Do

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
Such an ace song Love it =]
