In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I love to love your love my love
i love to love your love my love
i love to love your love my love
yes it's true
yes it's true
love is a thing that i do
it's crazy i kissed you when we met
and maybe i'd do it again with parental consent
but even if they both resist my mack-mode is constantly on
why am i wasting time writing rhymes when i could be out scoring more tail
i love (my love) to love (your love) your love (to love) my love (i love)
i love (my love) to love (your love) your love (to love) my love (i love)
i love (my love) to love (your love) your love (to love) my love (i love)
yes it's true
yes it's true
love is a thing that i do
i'd be crazy if i ever got into your pants
and maybe we could safety dance
'cause your friends all dance and i know you don't dance
soon your friends will become friends of mine
out of sympathy you'll go out with me, you fly ass b****
damn you're so fine
damn, you're so fine
remember we kissed when we were twelve
and baby help me through pre-adolescent hell
it can't be wrong to feel so strong now that we're all hairy and grown
i can't go on smoking bongs and getting myself so stoned
i love to love your love my love
i love to love your love my love
yes it's true
yes it's true
love is a thing that i do
it's crazy i kissed you when we met
and maybe i'd do it again with parental consent
but even if they both resist my mack-mode is constantly on
why am i wasting time writing rhymes when i could be out scoring more tail
i love (my love) to love (your love) your love (to love) my love (i love)
i love (my love) to love (your love) your love (to love) my love (i love)
i love (my love) to love (your love) your love (to love) my love (i love)
yes it's true
yes it's true
love is a thing that i do
i'd be crazy if i ever got into your pants
and maybe we could safety dance
'cause your friends all dance and i know you don't dance
soon your friends will become friends of mine
out of sympathy you'll go out with me, you fly ass b****
damn you're so fine
damn, you're so fine
remember we kissed when we were twelve
and baby help me through pre-adolescent hell
it can't be wrong to feel so strong now that we're all hairy and grown
i can't go on smoking bongs and getting myself so stoned

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
