Heaven Help Me

George Michael

If you want it, you can have it
That's what you said
But I don't want the things that you leave behind
Take the pictures, take the windows and the walls
But, baby, won't you leave me my peace of mind?
Oh, such a waste of time
Oh, such a waste
I still want you, baby

Heaven help me, heaven help me
Talk to strangers, talk to strangers
Heaven help me
Over you
Help me over you
I can't seem to take these changes
Everything reminds my heart of you

Thought the first time was the last time
We'd be here forever
Now I find I'm having to search again
It'll happen
It's gotta happen
Come together
I just wish somebody would tell me when

Oh, such a waste of time
Oh, such a waste
I still want you, baby

Heaven help, heaven help
Heaven, heaven, heaven, help me
Heaven help, heaven help
Heaven, heaven, heaven, help me

You're someone else's lady
So sad without you, darlin'
The gods of love can't help me now
Heaven help, heaven help
Heaven, heaven, heaven, help me

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
