Chez Jeanne, la Jeanne
Son auberge est ouverte aux gens sans feu ni lieu
On pourrait l'appeler, l'auberge du Bon Dieu
S'il n'en existait déjà une
La dernière où l'on peut entrer
Sans frapper, sans montrer patte blanche

Chez Jeanne, la Jeanne
On est n'importe qui, on vient n'importe quand
Et, comme par miracle, par enchantement
On fait partie de la famille
Dans son cœur, en s'poussant un peu
Reste encore une petite place

La Jeanne, la Jeanne
Elle est pauvre et sa table est souvent mal servie
Mais le peu qu'on y trouve assouvit pour la vie
Par la façon qu'elle le donne
Son pain ressemble à du gâteau
Et son eau à du vin comme deux gouttes d'eau

La Jeanne, la Jeanne
On la paie quand on peut des prix mirobolants
Un baiser sur son front ou sur ses cheveux blancs
Un semblant d'accord de guitare
L'adresse d'un chat échaudé
Ou d'un chien tout crotté comme pourboire

La Jeanne, la Jeanne
Dans ses roses et ses choux, n'a pas trouvé d'enfant
Qu'on aime et qu'on défend contre les quatre vents
Et qu'on accroche à son corsage
Et qu'on arrose avec son lait
D'autres qu'elle en seraient toutes chagrines

Mais Jeanne, la Jeanne
Ne s'en soucie pas plus que de colin-tampon
Etre mère de trois poulpiquets, à quoi bon
Quand elle est mère universelle
Quand tous les enfants de la terre
De la mer et du ciel sont à elle

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
