Let me tell you what I told you
Long before I noticed love is real, yes
Say something don't sit there, say nothing
I will try to explain it to you
It's glory, Alleluia, this love is real
Won't you please clap your hands?
Please, say amen
'Cause love is so high, you can't get over
You're lucky to find a holy clover
Give it a try, you can't get 'round it
You'll reach the sky, you're only grounded
I will try to break it down
Release it to be found
This love is real, yeah
Won't you clap your hands?
Somebody say, amen hey, we can fill it up
And feel our love then come to us
Love is real, yeah, say it aloud
Sit down, say nothing
Trying to be real, not trying to fool ya
Don't know it all, just trying to school ya
This common love, you won't get by now
But this kind of love you'll find in the sky
We can feel it up
And feel our love encounters love is real
Say something don't sit down say nothing, no
These feelings make you wanna want some
Feeling make you wanna want some
Hey, makes you clap your hands, son
Makes you clap your hands, son
I wish I could have
Something to say this evening i gotta have
Something to say this evening
I'd say one Sunday evening
Somebody came knocking at my door
Knocking at my door
Open the door and let him in
Was a feeling, oh, oh, feeling, hey
Make me wanna want some
Make me wanna want some
Make me wanna want some
Make me lost, ah, just a squeeze
Oh, mug around the house
Talking about going someplace
One thing about it I never heard mama
Talk about going to Chicago too much
I might even go into New York city
But never had an idea
That I wanna go to heaven
And I wanna go to heaven
I wanna go, I feel pretty good

I feel pretty good, yeah
I feel like, I feel like I wanna, huh
That's a note
Hey, this love is real, this love is real
Hey, this love is real
Hey, they wanna love is real
This love is real so real, so real, so real
Love is real, this love is real, yes
It's real this love is real

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
