This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well I took you for a walk
Up on the forest floor
'Cause I wanted to share some things
But it sure looked to me
Like you've been there before
It was such a natural thing.
You're my girl
(My girl)
And you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
You're my girl
(My girl)
And I'll be letting you go someday
Please don't tell me that
You're leaving me just yet
Cause I know I got to let you go
(Let you go)
Please don't tell me that
You're saying goodbye
(Say good bye)
Well I lit a candle
On the Fourth of July
But it didn't bring you home to me
You went heading into summer
On a natural high
With the world at your feet
It's your time
(Your time)
And you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
It's your time
(Your time)
And I'll be letting you go someday
Please don't tell me that
You're leaving me just yet
Cause I know I got to let you go
(Let you go)
Please don't tell me that
You're saying goodbye
(Say goodbye)
We went looking for faith
On the forest floor
And it showed up everywhere
In the sun and the water
And the falling leaves
The falling leaves of time
You're my girl
(My girl)
And you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
You're my girl
(My girl)
And I'll be letting you go someday
Please don't tell me that
You're leaving me quite yet
Cause I know I got to let you go
Please don't tell me that
You're saying goodbye
Up on the forest floor
'Cause I wanted to share some things
But it sure looked to me
Like you've been there before
It was such a natural thing.
You're my girl
(My girl)
And you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
You're my girl
(My girl)
And I'll be letting you go someday
Please don't tell me that
You're leaving me just yet
Cause I know I got to let you go
(Let you go)
Please don't tell me that
You're saying goodbye
(Say good bye)
Well I lit a candle
On the Fourth of July
But it didn't bring you home to me
You went heading into summer
On a natural high
With the world at your feet
It's your time
(Your time)
And you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
It's your time
(Your time)
And I'll be letting you go someday
Please don't tell me that
You're leaving me just yet
Cause I know I got to let you go
(Let you go)
Please don't tell me that
You're saying goodbye
(Say goodbye)
We went looking for faith
On the forest floor
And it showed up everywhere
In the sun and the water
And the falling leaves
The falling leaves of time
You're my girl
(My girl)
And you're showing me now
Just how grown up you are
You're my girl
(My girl)
And I'll be letting you go someday
Please don't tell me that
You're leaving me quite yet
Cause I know I got to let you go
Please don't tell me that
You're saying goodbye

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
It definitely sounds like it's about his daughter. He's talking about her growing up and moving away. He's written other songs about her, Amber Jean for one.
