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.
And I like pints of Guinness
And I like shots of whiskey
Theres a bar in my hotel
Where I know that they all miss me
Theres a fire that keeps on burning
And as we stare into the flames
The pints they keep on coming
As we drink away our pain
And I like pints of Guinness
As Billy used to say
It rained so fucking much here
That well drink away the day
As night starts to fall On old Dublin town
The pints they keep on coming
And you know where Id be found
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
Im coming home to you
Theres nothing I wont do
Im coming home to you
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
Its five o clock in the morning
and everyones gone home
The streets are quiet and empty
but I dont feel alone
As the sun starts to shine on Old Dublin town
the life starts to sparkle
oh yea you know where id be found
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
Im coming home to you
Theres nothing I wont do
Im coming home to you
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
And I like shots of whiskey
Theres a bar in my hotel
Where I know that they all miss me
Theres a fire that keeps on burning
And as we stare into the flames
The pints they keep on coming
As we drink away our pain
And I like pints of Guinness
As Billy used to say
It rained so fucking much here
That well drink away the day
As night starts to fall On old Dublin town
The pints they keep on coming
And you know where Id be found
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
Im coming home to you
Theres nothing I wont do
Im coming home to you
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
Its five o clock in the morning
and everyones gone home
The streets are quiet and empty
but I dont feel alone
As the sun starts to shine on Old Dublin town
the life starts to sparkle
oh yea you know where id be found
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
Im coming home to you
Theres nothing I wont do
Im coming home to you
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)
My love (my love)

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

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.
