In the real dark night of the soul
It's always 3 a.m.
It's always darkest before the dawn
It never dawned on me
At my weakest I'm pretending to be strong
Sometimes the demons are too hard to control

IN MY DARKEST MOMENT
SOMETHING TAKES ME OVER, MAKES ME TURN A COLD SHOULDER
IN MY DARKEST MOMENT
I NEED A REVELATION, DIVINE ILLUMINATION TO COME MY WAY

Just when I thought I was me
It just wasn't me talkin'
And the last one that I'd ever wanna hurt
Stood right in my way
Hating is easy and loving takes real character
Love ain't in fashion in this hard stone cold hearted world

IN MY DARKEST MOMENT
SOMETHING TAKES ME OVER AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
IN MY DARKEST MOMENT
I PRAY FOR REVELATION, DIVINE ILLUMINATION TO COME MY WAY

(The pain, the grief, the agony...)

IN MY DARKEST MOMENT
SOMETHING TAKES ME OVER, MAKES ME TURN A COLD SHOULDER
IN MY DARKEST MOMENT
IN MY BLACKEST HOUR I NEED SOMEONE TO COME AND HELP TO LIGHT MY WAY

Let some light come my way...

    I heard this was written about Michael's wife Jude Wilder who died and it pretty much sounds like it too.. Sad song, but very good.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
