This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
My name is Kevin and I'm 85 ft tall
Made out of cardboard and I'm taped up to a wall
And I don't have any feelings
So let's stay outside, we're stomping in the kitchen
We wanna stay alive, so let's all keep on living
And I know that you know that I don't know anything
Well out deep in the field of Arkansas
There is a friend I know real well
Well he's 3 ft high with 17 eyes
He ain't got a nose to smell
He's always saying,
"Give me your old pianos.
Bake me an apple pie.
Go and make me 80 ft of rope and I'll lasso me the sky."
He's got 11 pairs of shoes and he has sparkles in his hair
He's always on the news and he can breathe fine without air
He's 50 ft tall and he never goes to the mall
And his name is Maurice
Made out of cardboard and I'm taped up to a wall
And I don't have any feelings
So let's stay outside, we're stomping in the kitchen
We wanna stay alive, so let's all keep on living
And I know that you know that I don't know anything
Well out deep in the field of Arkansas
There is a friend I know real well
Well he's 3 ft high with 17 eyes
He ain't got a nose to smell
He's always saying,
"Give me your old pianos.
Bake me an apple pie.
Go and make me 80 ft of rope and I'll lasso me the sky."
He's got 11 pairs of shoes and he has sparkles in his hair
He's always on the news and he can breathe fine without air
He's 50 ft tall and he never goes to the mall
And his name is Maurice

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
