This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Think of me, sweet darlin'
When everything is going bad
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you're feeling sad
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you don't come
Can you feel the fever?
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time things get rough
Think of me, sweet darlin'
When the best just isn't enough
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you don't come
Can you feel the fever?
Cause nobody else is doing it oh
Nobody else is doing it oh no
Thought our harmony was the new harmony
Lord, it was a little too strange
And the band played on
Said I was going to put God away
She's been here a while
Living in the guest room
I guess she goes in style
I said I was going to put God away
But I just can't make her go
Can you feel the fever?
Now I lay me down to sleep
In this enemy bed
Tomorrow morning I will wake up
Hurtin' from the things we said
One thing leads to another
But I guess you know about that
Can you feel the fever?
Cause nobody else is doing it oh
Nobody else is doing it oh no
Thought our harmony was the new harmony
Lord, it was a little too strange
And the band played on
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you don't come
When everything is going bad
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you're feeling sad
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you don't come
Can you feel the fever?
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time things get rough
Think of me, sweet darlin'
When the best just isn't enough
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you don't come
Can you feel the fever?
Cause nobody else is doing it oh
Nobody else is doing it oh no
Thought our harmony was the new harmony
Lord, it was a little too strange
And the band played on
Said I was going to put God away
She's been here a while
Living in the guest room
I guess she goes in style
I said I was going to put God away
But I just can't make her go
Can you feel the fever?
Now I lay me down to sleep
In this enemy bed
Tomorrow morning I will wake up
Hurtin' from the things we said
One thing leads to another
But I guess you know about that
Can you feel the fever?
Cause nobody else is doing it oh
Nobody else is doing it oh no
Thought our harmony was the new harmony
Lord, it was a little too strange
And the band played on
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you don't come

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.
Just saw Fleetwood Mac live from the 3rd row.......I liked this song off the album, but seeing it live....I love it! Lindsey Buckingham is simply a guitar God, no other way to describe it
I've always wondered why when people speak of great guitarist that Lindsey doesnt come to the top of the list more often. You're right he is a guitar God.
