This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Big train rolling down the line
Makes me lonely
Sometimes I wish to ride away
Sometimes I want to ride away
Big plane flying through the clouds
Makes me worry
Sometimes I wish to fly away
Sometimes I want to fly away
But you can't judge a book, looking at the cover
You can't love someone, messing with another, no
You can't win a war, fighting with your brother
You wanna have peace, gotta love one another
Big guns lighting up the sky
Makes me worry
Sometimes I wish to run away
Sometimes I want to run away
But you can't judge a book, looking at the cover
You can't love someone, messing with another, no
You can't win a war, fighting with your brother
You wanna have peace, gotta love one another
I have seen my brothers
In ashes on the ground
And maybe in a new life
We can turn this thing around
But you can't judge a book, looking at the cover
You can't love someone, messing with another, no
You can't win a war, fighting with your brother
You wanna have peace, gotta love one another
No you can't judge a book
Gotta love one another
Can't judge a book
No you can't judge a book
Makes me lonely
Sometimes I wish to ride away
Sometimes I want to ride away
Big plane flying through the clouds
Makes me worry
Sometimes I wish to fly away
Sometimes I want to fly away
But you can't judge a book, looking at the cover
You can't love someone, messing with another, no
You can't win a war, fighting with your brother
You wanna have peace, gotta love one another
Big guns lighting up the sky
Makes me worry
Sometimes I wish to run away
Sometimes I want to run away
But you can't judge a book, looking at the cover
You can't love someone, messing with another, no
You can't win a war, fighting with your brother
You wanna have peace, gotta love one another
I have seen my brothers
In ashes on the ground
And maybe in a new life
We can turn this thing around
But you can't judge a book, looking at the cover
You can't love someone, messing with another, no
You can't win a war, fighting with your brother
You wanna have peace, gotta love one another
No you can't judge a book
Gotta love one another
Can't judge a book
No you can't judge a book

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.

Magical

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Definately seems anti-war (although I'm not sure what "Can't Judge a book looking at the cover" is supposed to mean).
