Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I bring Jennifer flowers
I bring Jennifer cupcakes
I bring Jennifer snowcones
I bring Jennifer your brains
And we dance in the leaves
Echo up to our knees
And I cough and a sneeze
Only for Jennifer
I bring Jennifer wine
I bring Jennifer apple peels
For that's all that she needs
For a good time
And we put on our pants
And we sing and we dance
And the sun wonders past
Above me and Jennifer
Oh
I bring Jennifer sailboats
And Jennifer brings me the sky
We swim through the sea of artichokes
Awaiting the day that we'll die
And the trumpets will blow
And the water will flow
And a flower will grow
Above me and Jennifer
Jennifer
La la la la la
Jennifer
I bring Jennifer cupcakes
I bring Jennifer snowcones
I bring Jennifer your brains
And we dance in the leaves
Echo up to our knees
And I cough and a sneeze
Only for Jennifer
I bring Jennifer wine
I bring Jennifer apple peels
For that's all that she needs
For a good time
And we put on our pants
And we sing and we dance
And the sun wonders past
Above me and Jennifer
Oh
I bring Jennifer sailboats
And Jennifer brings me the sky
We swim through the sea of artichokes
Awaiting the day that we'll die
And the trumpets will blow
And the water will flow
And a flower will grow
Above me and Jennifer
Jennifer
La la la la la
Jennifer

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.

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.
Cool song, but the actual title of this is "Jennifer", not "I Bring Jennifer..."
I wish I could hear this song
when i listen to this song i get kinda confused, this doesnt sound like jeff? in fact, i m positive its not him, but i love this song just the same.
Actually, there is no "actual" title. Jennifer is just the title most people assume it has; none of the unreleased songs from this particular demo have titles.
do any of you guys either no where/how to get this song? or possibly have it yourself and be willing to share?
JAKIE THE HOBO - You're right, it doesen't sound like Jeff. A lot of the early songs, as well as the Everthing Is songs have that singing voice. I'm unsure if it actually is Jeff or someone else though.

A lot of great Neutral Milk Hotel bootlegs there.
Nah, it's definitely still Jeff singing. Keep in mind this is years apart from Aeroplane, where his voice is much more distinct and strong because he's been singing for so long. He also got older.
just sayin', but, i'm pretty sure it's "i bring jennifer yard rakes" instead of "yer brains" at the end of the first verse. cause, y'know, it fits better, with the rest of the song. and also, i think it's "and we dance in the leaves that go up to our knees", once again fitting in with the aforementioned "yard rake".
