Fire

The Ohio Players

Fire
Fire (it's all about)
Fire (woo, woo, woo)
Fire

The way you walk and talk really sets me off
To a fuller love, child, yes, it does, uh
The way you squeeze and tease, knocks to me my knees
'Cause I'm smokin', baby, baby

The way you swerve and curve, really wrecks my nerves
And I'm so excited, child woo, woo
The way you push, push let's me know that you're good
(You're gonna get your wish) oh, yeah

Fire (what I said, child, ow)
Fire (uh-huh)
Got me burnin', burnin', burnin'
Got me burnin', burnin', burnin' (yeah)
Got me burnin', burnin', burnin' (yeah)

Woo, hoo, hoo, baby
Start burnin, burnin' baby
Ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh
Burnin', burnin' baby
Oh, baby

Throw some water on me
When you shake what you got, and girl, you've got a lot
You're really somethin', child, yes, you are
When you're hot you're hot, you really shoot your shot
You're dyn-o-might, child, yeah

Well, I can tell by your game
You're gonna start a flame
Love, baby, baby
I'm not gon' choke from the smoke
Got me tightenin' up my stroke
Do you feel it, girl, yeah

Got me burnin', got me burnin'
Got me burnin', got me burnin'
Got me burnin', got me burnin' (fire)
Got me burnin', got me burnin' (on fire)
Got me burnin', got me burnin' (fire)
Got me burnin', got me burnin' (on fire)
Got me burnin', got me burnin' (fire)
Got me burnin', got me burnin' (on fire)
Got me burnin', got me burnin' (fire)
Got me burnin', got me burnin' (on fire)
Got me burnin', got me burnin' (fire)
Got me burnin', got me burnin' (on fire)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
