“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.
You're in the back seat and you say to yourself
"OK it doesn't matter anyway"
it's weeds pulling weeds and your Blaming yourself
Ok we're all indifferent in our own ways
You're in trouble now and you say to yourself
"Ok my baby clean conscience anyways"
You're in the back seat and you say to yourself
"OK it doesn't matter anyway"
It's weeds pulling weeds and you're blaming yourself
Ok we're all indifferent in are own ways
You're in trouble now and you say to yourself
"Ok my baby clean conscience anyways"

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.
Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
OK. I usually don't chime in on these things and the only reason I got an account was so I could say one thing. People, christ. Stop being such elitests. Not only is it obvious why Float On is the song with the most posts, but why does it even matter? Why do you have to make your claim to fandom? Why do you have to feel threatened by the fact that people have heard of your band and are never ever going to listen to Lonesome Crowded West? The fact of that matter is Float On is a great song, just as Doin' The Cockroach is a great song. It'd be one thing if the song sucked, but it doesn't. Stop fearing popularity. Christ
Gosh Hurtz you got it right. man i'm such a dick!<br /> lol thanks

ArtKudds, the song does sound rough. The whole cd of Sad Sappy Sucker just sounds like it was thrown together with songs different songs.
i love how raw SSS sounds. it just adds to the whole experience. Its kind of a shame that 99% of these songs dont get any attention during live shows because they're all so easy to jam to. But i couln't imagine what SSS would sound like if it was perfectly produced and clean sounding. What if they re-made all of the songs and turned all the dial-a-songs into full length songs and called it Sad Sappy Sucker 2? OMG i'd have a mouse-gasm!
...it's a singles/EP collection that spans years.... of course it doesn't sound cohesive.
