He checked out
Gone for good
He checked out
Without a doubt
Like a regular guy
Like you and me
Unfinished business
His too small voice
Had died in his head
No one could hear
When it told him loud and clear
It's check-out time
It's check-out time
He was always good
At following directions
He ran them out till the end of the road
He did what he was told
Step by step
He never wondered if he had
Might be wrong it's voice he heard
Was a voice of a liar
He took it in stride
They told him
It's check out time
Check-out time
Check-out time
Check-out time
Check-out time
Gone for good
He checked out
Without a doubt
Like a regular guy
Like you and me
Unfinished business
His too small voice
Had died in his head
No one could hear
When it told him loud and clear
It's check-out time
It's check-out time
He was always good
At following directions
He ran them out till the end of the road
He did what he was told
Step by step
He never wondered if he had
Might be wrong it's voice he heard
Was a voice of a liar
He took it in stride
They told him
It's check out time
Check-out time
Check-out time
Check-out time
Check-out time

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.

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
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.
