I want to fly a little to the right, I'll never get to Crowsdell
And I want to stay awake all night to realize (I'm not Ben Hoy)

What should I take with me to the North? It's the good North
The promised success, the appropriate North. It's the good North

Apparently, you're happy, you've realized
I'm meant to be, unhappy, I've realized (I'm not Ben Hoy)

What should I take with me to the North? It's the good North
The promised success, the appropriate North. It's the good North

I want to reunite, I'll never save (what will you save?)
When everything is broken now
I want to reunite I'll never save (what will you save?)
Everything is broken

I want to fly a little to the right, I'll never get to Crowsdell
And I want to stay awake all night to realize (I'm not Ben Hoy)

And what should I take with me to the North? It's the good North
The promised success, the appropriate North. It's the good North

I want to reunite I need to save (what will you save?)
When everything is broken now
I want to reunite I need to save (what will you save?)
When everything is broken now
I want to reunite I need to save (what will you save?)
When everything is broken now
I want to reunite I need to save (what will you save?)
When everything is broken now

Everything's gone now, everything's gone now
(You've gone now, when everything's broken now)
Everything's gone running without a sound.

    cannot believe no one has commented on this! it's one of their best songs... maybe my favourite.

    anyways... I think it's about how Roddy's had to travel in the band and so a relationship with someone who's still at home is suffering.

    He wants to go home and reunite and save the relationship but unfortunately "everything's broken now"

    Talking about the "good north" and flying a little to the right is him returning home to Scotland.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.
