I am blowing for a trumpet
Hallelujah
You stood too close to the sunset
And it finally outgrew you
So now I paint you on my doorpost
Like I knew you
I make all of the right noises
But they never make it to you
I'm as heavy as a feather
Hallelujah
You're a confused little soldier
And the bullets go right through you
So now I march you to a tin pan
Through the alley
So the death angel understands
That I'm gonna take you afloat
And we will become a happy ending
And we will become a happy ending
I am sinking for the sunset
Hallelujah
You've been deafened by these trumpets
But my love I'll listen for ya
So I can paint you on my doorpost
Like I knew you
I make all of the right noises
But my love they go right through you
And we will become a happy ending
And we will become a happy ending
And we will become a happy ending
And we will become a happy ending
And we will become a happy ending
We will rejoice
Hallelujah
We Will rejoice
Hallelujah
We Will rejoice
Hallelujah
We Will rejoice
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
