Give me one Reason

Jason Reeves

You're not an angel and I'm not the perfect man but you know I love you
So why won't you let me in

Give me one reason to stay and I'll stay
Give me one reason to leave and I'll leave
I don't need you to be me
I'll be just fine being free
Yeah
I'll be just fine being free

You're like a shadow that I cannot hold on to
I'm not a prison
I cannot tie you down

Give me one reason to stay and I'll stay
Give me one reason to leave and I'll leave
I don't need you to be me
I'll be just fine being free
Yeah
I'll be just fine being free
Oh

And I'll be alright without you on my side
I'll still sleep at night but don't make me have to

Give me one reason
Give me one reason

Give me one reason to stay and I'll stay
Give me one reason to leave and I'll leave
I don't need you to be me
I'll be just fine being free
I'll be just fine being free
Yeah
I'll be just fine being free
Yeah
I'll be just fine being free

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 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
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.
