You Are My Joy

Snow Patrol

I won't leave you
Out of my will
But I will leave you out
Of my mind, for now

I won't be there to break
Your sweet heart
But not being there
Might break your sweet heart

You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy

You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy

If I could cradle you
Into my arms
I would cradle you
Tight in my arms, always

So don't be scared
Of all the hurtful words
'Cause in the end
They'll hurt themselves much more

You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy

You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy

You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy

You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy

You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy

You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy

    to me this sounds like a father speaking of his joy at a newborn baby :)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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.

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.
