Your New Boyfriend

I remember when we were together and
We used fancy words just like “forever” and
We controlled the Moon, and willed the stars to shine.
Now, it seems I can't, can't get you off of my mind.

I know that I was the one running ‘round the town.
But something told me that you might stick around,
Then yesterday I saw

You and your new boyfriend, were walking hand in hand.
cnd I just can't remember when it hurt so bad.
cnd yeah, I know, I know, I know I'm the one to blame
For getting caught up in the game. You've got a new boyfriend,
cnd I'm alone again.

I recall a time when we were hand in hand
Taking on the world without a second glance.
Friends would stop to say “Oh, what a perfect pair”.
I recall a time, a time when you were there.

It's such a sorry old song, you don't know what you've got till it's gone.
But all our friends that used to carry on,
Well, they're all talkin' ‘bout

You and your new boyfriend, are walking hand in hand.
cnd I just can't remember when I felt so sad.
cnd yeah, I know, I know, I know I'm the one to blame
For getting caught up in the game. You've got a new boyfriend,
cnd I want you back again.

cnd I wonder, is this how it's meant to be?
Do you tell him all the things that you told me
When we were beautiful, and brilliant like the sun?
Well how am I to keep on going, knowing that we're done?

cnd I know, I know it's over, and I can't go back in time.
If I could I would, cause you should still be mine.
But that's all over now.

You've got a new boyfriend, and you're walking hand in hand.
cnd I just can't remember when, it hurt so bad.
cnd yes, I know, I know, I know I'm the one to blame
for chasing my fortune and fame. You've got a new boyfriend,
cnd I'm alone again.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
