Francis

Coeur de Pirate

Francis, tu as tant de choses à dire
Mais le tout reste enfermé
Et quand tu ne sais plus quoi dire
Tu te mets à pleurer
Mais ça, ton public le voit pas
Tu l’incites à rêver
Pendant que toi, tu le regardes

Francis, les mots restent bien coincés
Devant cette fille qui ne demande
Pas mieux que de se faire aimer
Mais toi, tu ne sais pas comment t’y prendre
Ta gorge se resserre et ton cœur bat de plus belle
Alors que tes yeux sont sur elle

Mais moi, je ne t’oublierai pas
Et je compte sur toi
Pour venir en aide
À ceux qui ressentent pour toi
Ce que tu écris dans
Ces chansons pour elle

Francis, je m’en vais bientôt
Et je pense très, très fort à toi
Pendant que mes doigts au piano
Jouent tout ce que je te dois
Et rappelle-toi que tu peux
Avoir le monde à tes pieds
Si tu te laisses pas abattre
Par ceux qui te laissent de côté

Mais moi, je t’oublierai pas
Et je compte sur toi
Pour venir en aide
À ceux qui ressentent pour toi
Ce que tu écris dans
Ces chansons pour elle

Mais moi, je ne t’oublierai pas
Et je compte sur toi
Pour venir en aide
À ceux qui ressentent pour toi
Ce que tu écris dans
Ces chansons pour elle

    Well, I'm not very good at French but here's my shot at a translation:

    Francis you have so much to say But it all remains locked up And when you do not know what to say anymore You start to cry But this, your public does not see it You encourage it to dream While you look at her

    Francis the words remain well hidden In front of this girl who does not ask Any better than to be loved But you just do not know how to take yourself there Your throat tightens and your heart beats more beautiful While your eyes are on her

    But I will not forget you And I count on you To come help Those who feel for you What you write in These songs for her

    Francis I am going soon And I think very highly of you While my fingers on the piano Play all that I owe you

    And remember that you can Have the world at your feet If you do not leave yourself to break down By those who leave your side

    But I will not forget you And I count on you To come help Those who feel for you What you write in These songs for her

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

Amazing
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.
