Sunday

Bloc Party

Heavy night, it was a heavy night
Feels like we've come back from the dead
Heavy night, it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said to anyone

If we get up now we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under fifteens playing football in the park
Let's sit in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day
We're doing the best with what we've got

I'll love you in the morning
When you're still hung-over
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still strung out
I'll love you in the morning

I work hard all week, and so do you
We deserve to let off some steam
Less orthodox, creeping
When we need to rage through this life

There might be ones who are smarter than you
That have the right answers, that wear better shoes
Forget about those melting ice caps
We're doing the best with what we've got

I'll love you in the morning
When you're still hung-over
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still strung out

When I'm with you I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness

You see giant proclamations are all very well
But our love is louder than words

When I'm with you I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)

When I'm with you I am calm (I'll love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster (I'll love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile (I'll love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)

When I'm with you I am calm (I'll love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster (I'll love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile (I'll love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)

I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
