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”

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.
Magical

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.
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Pocahontas used to be my favourite movie. Beautiful music, especially this song. I love the intention, that we are all human, all equal. We need to appreciate nature. But then I did some research and found out the real Pocahontas was actually kidnapped by an American, makes more sense so it was actually a sick adaptation. I can't imagine how Pocahontas's descendants feel now, knowing that their history was sabotaged and turned into a kids movie! Now this beautiful story has lost most of its appeal to me although I may never be able to hate this song. It just seems pure still.
@Sarena <br /> Where did you do your research? Pocahontas was captured by the English in hopes that she could be ransomed for English hostages captured by her father Chief Powhatan. She never saw a prison but lived with a Vicar and his wife where she converted to Christianity.<br /> After been given the chance to return home to her own people she refused wanting to stay with the English. She fell in love with an Englishman named John Rolfe she was baptised and changed her name to Rebecca and then married with her father Chief Powhatan's blessing. They had a child together and moved to England where she was a bit of a celebrity. <br /> <br /> Unfortunately she died (it is thought to have been from Tuberculosis) in her early twenties and is buried at St Georges Gravesend in Kent England.<br /> <br /> There is nothing "sick" about the film whatsoever, The only thing that's nonsense is the romance between herself and John Smith.<br /> <br /> The native Americans have far more to be annoyed about then a Disney Cartoon.<br /> The song is fantastic.
