Listening to "Strawberry Wine"
For the 131st time
It was 1987, it was spring
It's 1987 all the time
Now it's 1987 all the time
Were you even there?
Too thin, too fair
Downing your third drink
Standing at arm's length in the square
Just off
A mildly successful
Killing rampage
Where good writers go to
Find one thing and stick with it

Oh, life
Is bigger
Than a life on the run from the United states
And her friends on this night made of jewels

It took three Carabinieri
To peel 'em off the streets of the town
She's named after

Dragging the lagoon was a disaster
They found him alive and relatively well

Ah, some situations
Seek redressing
Some songs just go testing, testing
I took a picture, I was sick of motion

And wore her water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean

Water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean

Water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean

Water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean
And wore her water colors into the ocean

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
