I'm so glad to be here
This day has become sacred
I'm trembling with thankfulness
For all of, of this

Who am I
Who am I
That you have brought me
This far, this far
Who am I that you have brought me so far

All those years of spoiled complaining
I said it's not enough
And you have forgiven me for everything
Everything
And you have given me everything, everything
Oh, it's too much, it's too much
You're too much, you're too much

Who am I
Who am I
That you have brought me
This far, this far
Who am I that you have brought me so far

Who am I
Who am I
That you have brought me
This far, this far
Who am I that you have brought me so far

    In my opinion, this song is one of the most meaningful songs I've ever heard from flyleaf.

    Shes looking back on everything God has done for her, and shes confused as to why He has done what He did.

    She even says "Its too much. Youre too much. Who am I? Who am I that You have brought me this far?"

    The entire song is Flyleafs way of showing thanks towards God, and I find it brilliant.

    My Interpretation

    Who Am I is Lacey's thanks to God for all He has done for her, and also that she doesn't deserve it, but she has been blessed with it anyway.

    "I'm so glad to be here This day has become sacred I'm trembling with thankfulness For all of, of this." = She's glad to be alive and living. She thankful for everything.

    "Who am I Who am I That you have brought me This far, this far Who am I that you have brought me so far." = Lacey asking Him, "Who am I that you have blessed me with this life I am living? Why me?"

    "All those years of spoiled complaining I said it's not enough And you have forgiven me for everything Everything And you have given me everything, everything Oh, it's too much, it's too much You're too much, you're too much." = She would complain everyday about her life never being the way she wanted it to be. But finally she realized that enough is enough, to stop complaining and be thankful for what you already have, and The Lord has forgiven her for all of her sins and even blessed her with this life she has and His love is too much!

    I think its about lacey wondering why God saved her when she was on drugs, she feels shes not good enough to be saved. I think she is wonderful and deserves to be saved.

    Lacey is saying to G-d in comparison to him she doesn't know who she is and why she deserves all He has blessed her with in her life, and she is so unbelievably thankful.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
