“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.
Some of the kids around here
you know the one's in the mudflats
your kid, the one in the home
is just a running brat
I'm so sharp, I'm so sharp
I went and spun myself off
I'm so sharp, I'm so sharp
I went and cut myself off
Kid's Issue, Kid's Issue
Kid's Issue, Kid's Issue
Kid's Issue, Kid's Issue
Kid's Issue, Kid's Issue
You're so calm
I want to run
close our eyes and run away
you should be tethered, tarred and feathered
I heard your mother would say
I'm so sharp, I'm so sharp
I went and cut myself on
I'm so sharp, I'm so sharp
I went and spun myself out
Some of the kids around here
you know the one's in the mudflats
your kid, the one with the home
is just a running brat
Kid's Issue, Kid's Issue

you know the one's in the mudflats
your kid, the one in the home

I'm so sharp, I'm so sharp

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
Another Love
Tom Odell
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart

In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
