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.
Come on baby get your shoes on
You're looking like you need a rescue
Underneath the southern moonlight
Where only I can find you
We can do it with our eyes closed
We can sit and talk for hours
Underneath the golden flowers
Where my sunshine grows
Sugar my love
Sugar my burn
Sugar may hide
Sugar may learn
I could give a thousand reasons
I could give a thousand lives
I know I would always meet you
Underneath a summer sky
So come on tell me love is glory
Come on tell me love is real
Show me what your heart is made of
Show me what I need to feel
Sugar my love
Sugar my burn
Sugar may hide
Sugar may burn
Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I'm right
Give me your love don't hesitate
Show me tonight
I waited so long for a love so true
So I'm giving it all right back to you
I'm giving you my best of silver
I'm giving you my best of gold
Sugar my love
Sugar my burn
So come on baby get those shoes on
And we can run away from here
Talk about a life we're starting
We can start it all right here
Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I'm right
Give me your love don't hesitate
Show me tonight
You're looking like you need a rescue
Underneath the southern moonlight
Where only I can find you
We can do it with our eyes closed
We can sit and talk for hours
Underneath the golden flowers
Where my sunshine grows
Sugar my love
Sugar my burn
Sugar may hide
Sugar may learn
I could give a thousand reasons
I could give a thousand lives
I know I would always meet you
Underneath a summer sky
So come on tell me love is glory
Come on tell me love is real
Show me what your heart is made of
Show me what I need to feel
Sugar my love
Sugar my burn
Sugar may hide
Sugar may burn
Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I'm right
Give me your love don't hesitate
Show me tonight
I waited so long for a love so true
So I'm giving it all right back to you
I'm giving you my best of silver
I'm giving you my best of gold
Sugar my love
Sugar my burn
So come on baby get those shoes on
And we can run away from here
Talk about a life we're starting
We can start it all right here
Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I'm right
Give me your love don't hesitate
Show me tonight

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
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.

"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
I love this song-it's my favorite from this band.
I just got reminded about it. :)
I can play the intro,nothing else. :|
Yup, just the intro. You can't follow through. Probably have that same problem in bed...
This song reminds me of the summer that I met a great guy that I will never forget. When I was finally able to date him, something tragic kept us apart. Its been a year since I started falling for him and for the past 2 months we FINALLY have our chance to be together...this song just says it soooo well! I smile every time i hear it!
dig it
I waited so long for a love so true So I'm giving it all right back to you I'm giving you my best of silver I'm giving you my best of gold
What a great part!
Such a beautiful love song...wouldn't be so amazing if someone told you this song made them think of you? For me it's all about loving someone so much you can just chill under the moon and be elated just because you're with them. You just whisk them away and show them what it's about.
This song makes me think of the girl I want so badly to be with. Love has an amazing power to make people do things everyone thinks is impossible, beating all odds, crossing all obstacles for that one instant yours eyes meet. Love is above all curious and great, and even more, it's worth the wait. (to my sugar bowl)
Not much to analyze here...the song is just a good old-fashioned love song, that you can listen to over and over again...
What's funny is that we all have different parts we like; mine is:
"You're looking like you need a rescue Underneath the southern moonlight Where only I can find you..."
AND "I could give a thousand reasons I could give a thousand lives I know I would always meet you Underneath a summer sky So come on tell me love is glory Come on tell me love is real Show me what your heart is made of Show me what I need to feel"
I mean, WOW...there is nothing that could be done to improve this song...it was written and performed to perfection.
My favourite section of this song is
"Show me that love is worth the wait Tell me I'm right Give me your love don't hesitate Show me tonight"
it just speaks to me. it's just a great love song. something universal about.
i like a lad at the moment lol.. he knows my feelings and i think/blindly hope he reciprocates, but we have both been burned before by love.. this song makes me want to take a chance for him coz he is worth so much.. i hope he feels the same someday. Onnieburgers is right, its a beautiful, great love song, and also universally pleasing.
"we can do it with our eyes closed..." enough said, beautiful song... love it.
