Gang Gang Dance

It's okay to lay your head down sometimes, I say
It's okay to lay your head down sometimes, I say

Oh-na-na, baby
Oh-na-na, baby
Oh-na-na, oh-na-na, oh-na-na, oh-na-na-na, baby

Only the strongest travel so deep
If you fear the mind killa, you will weep
You have to make the equation work
If you come over here, come on, here, let's work

Don't fear the mind killa
Don't be the mind killa, I would say
Killa
Don't be the mind killa, I would say
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

We, we love you

Hush little baby, don't say a word
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
Then I'm gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don't shine
Then I'm gonna move you from behind

Go get that ring
Go get that ring
Go get that ring
Go get that ring

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Okay
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Okay
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Okay
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ah-ah
Okay
Okay
Oh-oh-oh

Go get that ring
Go get that ring
Go get that ring

Don't fear the mind killa
Don't be the mind killa, I would say
Don't fear the mind killa
Don't be the mind killa, I would say
Killa
Don't be the mind killa, I would say

Fear of the mind killa
Don't be the mind killa, I would say
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

Okay

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.

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.
