Die Hebamme is scho da, heut Nacht wird’s soweit sein.
Die Bäuerin is ruhig, es geht ihr gut.
Der Bauer steht im Weg, sie lächelt eam aus der Stubn,
er brummt und zeigt nicht, dass er sich freut auf den Buben.
und weich fällt der Schnee,
Herrgott, dank dir schön.

Der Pfarrer schaut no vorbei, leise tritt er ein.
Er bringt a Bonbonniere für die junge Frau.
Man wird’s ihr dann nachher geben.
"Vergelts Gott für 'n Schnaps".
Der Pfarrer geht und flüstert zur Stuben hin an Segen.
Am Himmel wird’s langsam rot,
Herrgott, das Kind ist tot!

Wenn die Hexen tanzen im Wald,
wenn der Freitag am 13. fallt,
wenn a Kind stirbt
und vorher der Nachtvogel schreit,
dann is soweit, dann is soweit.

Der Pfarrer geht durchs Dorf, er kennt sich ned recht aus,
a eigenartige Stimmung liegt in der Luft.
Die Männer sind ernst und schweigsam, ängstlich
sind die Frauen, sie sperren die Kinder ins Haus,
die dürfen keinen Schneemann bauen.
Plötzlich wird's dem Pfarrer klar,
Herrgott, irgendwer is in Gefahr.

Später dann bei der Hebamm, da hocken ein paar beinand,
geheimnisvoll murmelnd, den Rosenkranz fest in der Hand.

Der Pfarrer steht plötzlich am Bahnhof, a Koffer steht neben ihm.
Er fahrt auf drei Tag in die Stadt, zu sein Bruder nach Wien.
Am Himmel dämmert's schon,
Herrgott, der Pfarrer fahrt einfach davon!

Wenn die Hexen tanzen im Wald.......

Am nächsten Tag in der Früh, da treffen sie sich unten beim Wirt,
mit Dreschflegeln, Sensen und Sicheln und leuchtenden Augen.
Und sie singen Hallelujah und wandern zum Haus,
wo der Dorftrottel blöd grinsend sei Suppn sauft.
Die Hebamme schwingt's Kruzifix,
Herrgott, der Peterle was no nix!

Sie haben das Haus erreicht, die ersten Steine fliegen.
Der Dorftrottel schreit nach dem Pfarrer, aber der is ja ned da.
Sie schleppen ihn auße in Schnee, er weint wia a kleines Kind.
Sie haun ihn so lang, bis ihm’s Hirn aus der Nasen rinnt!
Nachher fallen's auf die Knie und beten,
den Bauern sein Kind kann endlich den Himmel betreten

Und weich fallt der Schnee....
Dem Bauern sei Kind kann endlich den Himmel betreten.
Herrgott, dank da schön!

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.

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.

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.
