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 couldn't sleep so I took a pill
with a dirty glass of water from a low pressure hell
Someone buy a round before my liver fails
and you know it will
How many of you will be
left to make a scene
at my funeral party
Set my soul at ease by spinning wire
as I lay on my side
cause it's the earth which I have known since birth
So clap your hands if you wanna be
the little princess who finally gets the pony
or the one that steals the life from me
With that long sleeve thrift you found in Grand Forks
to cover up your track marks
Cuz when you finally come down
the pony you've been riding around town
turns out to be a man
And then overheated crimping iron burns your hands again
How many of you be will be
left to drink whiskey
at my funeral party
Remember to bring your flask
and pour a shot for
your dead homie
Shake your ass around my casket
Shake your ass around my casket
Shake your ass around my casket
and bring your beach blankets
Volley balls, wine coolers
Spin your favorite records.

Magical

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
