So many powerful beings
So many in tune with life
Imagination abounds here
There's wisdom
And great insight
My ears are lucky to hear
These glorious songs
Of inspiration
And voices crafted from
Thunder
The power of life
I want to go back to the trees
Where my art was born
And I was duly sworn
To be alive
To be alive
A live burning force
Forever more and evermore
I feed the fire
There is a road straight
To my heart
Traveled by those with fire
I hope to follow their
Patterns
They're many more to inspire
I live to see my fondest
Dreams realized
Of living under the
Sights and sounds of
The gifted
Who gave so much to me
I want to go back to the trees
Where my art was born
And I was duly sworn
To be alive
To be alive
A live burning force
Forever more and evermore
Got to go back to the trees
Where my art was born
And I was duly sworn
To be alive To be alive
A live burning force
Forever more and evermore
I feed the fire
Allow me someday to touch you
The way that you've
All touched me
I thank you for your
Expressions
Your music has set me free
I want to go back to the trees
Where my art was born
And I was duly sworn
To be alive
To be alive
A live burning force
Forever more and evermore
I feed the fire
I want to go back to the trees
Where my art was born
And I was duly sworn
To be alive
To be alive
A live burning force
Forever more and evermore
I feed the fire
I've got to go back to the trees
Where my art was born
And I was duly sworn
To be alive
To be alive
Forever more and evermore

    Song Meaning

    To me this song is a tribute and thank you to the artists that inspire her. In the acoustic version, she includes lyrics from Yes, Kate Bush and David Bowie

    I still remember the dreams there (Yes; Long Distance Runaround)

    And if I could, I'd make a deal with God and get him to swap our places (Kate Bush; Running Up That Hill)

    And there's a Starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'd blow our minds (David Bowie; Starman)

    This song is incredible and the fact that she credits 3 of my other favorite artists in the lyrics fills me with joy.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
