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 close my eyes and I keep seeing things
Rainbow waterfalls
sunny liquid dream
Confusion creeps inside me raining doubt
Gotta get to you
But I don't know how
Call me, Call me
Let me know it's alright
Call me, call me
Don't you think it's 'bout time
Please won't you call and
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
What can I do
to get me to you
I had your number quite some time ago
Back when we were one
But I had to grow
Ten thousand years I've searched it seems and now
Gotta get to you
Won't you tell me how
Call me, Call me
Let me know you are there
Call me, call me
I wanna know you still care
Come on now won't you
Ease my mind
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
Reasons for living my life
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to know you
Peace of mind
what can I do
to get me to you
Rainbow waterfalls
sunny liquid dream
Confusion creeps inside me raining doubt
Gotta get to you
But I don't know how
Call me, Call me
Let me know it's alright
Call me, call me
Don't you think it's 'bout time
Please won't you call and
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
What can I do
to get me to you
I had your number quite some time ago
Back when we were one
But I had to grow
Ten thousand years I've searched it seems and now
Gotta get to you
Won't you tell me how
Call me, Call me
Let me know you are there
Call me, call me
I wanna know you still care
Come on now won't you
Ease my mind
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
Reasons for living my life
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to know you
Peace of mind
what can I do
to get me to you

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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I think it's basically about Spike and his search for Julia when she just dissapeared for 3 years.
Also, Yoko Kanno arranged and composed the song, but Steve Conte sang it. (I just wanna set the record straight and give correct credit)
Its the ending-theme from CowboyBebop, the series, which I very enjoyed. Many Animes have nice melodic music, but too often its electricaly "destroyed" with high tones(I call it Nintendo-Techno), not so here, not only the music is cool, the whole series is. And it all fites in the concept, the blues-jazz influenced music and the dark future-atmosphere. First time I saw it, I thaught "Yeah, this is why we got hands to paint and eyes to look" and I still think of it as the very best anime-series ever made - so long.
This song rips Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve off. :p
It's not just about Spike and Julia, it's about the whole crew looking for the meaning in their pasts and a place they can belong. For Jet, it's about Alisa. For Faye, it's about her friends at school. For Ed, it's about her father. And Ein's just a dog.
Personally, I think this is one of the two best songs ever written. The other one is Blue.
This song always makes me think of loves, losses, and moving forward while never forgetting. something i'm still learning to do.
and yeah, Steve sang it. He also sang Diggin', No Reply, Stray, one version of Rain, Words That We Couldn't Say, Could You Bite The Hand? and Nowhere and Everywhere, which is one of my favorite songs. he's awesome.
This song makes me think of a man searching for God and asking God to reveal himself to the man.
to me this song is about a guy searching for the girl he loves, (or vice versa) but he/she cant find him/her, so he pretty much gives up but still just wants to hear from her one more time. I'm in this situation right now. certainly relates to Spike.
StarmanDX, are you fucking retarded? One, this anime was made LONG before that song came out. And 2, Bittersweet Symphony actually ripped off an old Rolling Stones instrumental album, Rolling Stones sued, and got all the royalties for that album.
i just wanna say that its fairly pointless saying that the series has a blues influence...because bebop is a "not excactly well-known" genre of music which is a variation of jazz and blues
you guys are right when you say it speaks for the crew members but dont forget, when we hear it in the series, its during the time that faye has run off and left the bebop and the others are all sulking in her absence, albeit perhaps unadmittedly so although yeah its versatile and it can easily refer to the relationships you mentioned, i believe it more specifically references the deep, unspoken feelings the bebop have for faye at the time of course theyd never tell her so the series uses this song to let us know how they feel
