In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Well I saw a king
Drown himself in a creek
Just to tell her
But when he was gone
He had no breath left to tell her
His undying love
His undying love
Well I heard the queen flung herself from the walls of the castle
But in the midst of her fall
She regretted it all
But it was too late
Her undying grief
Was her own life's thief
Well kings and queens know not about love
They sink like a stone in their mind
Just steep
Well im no king and ive no golden crown to adorn a king
But I'm not asking you fall
Except in love with me
Oh just, please fall
In undying love, in undying love
well you and i know not
wat it means
lets sink like two stones, in love
well kings and queens dont no about love
they sink like a stone
in thier mind
just steep
you and i know not what it means
Let's sink like two stones in love
'Cause kings and queens know not about love
they sink like two stones in their minds
just steep
Drown himself in a creek
Just to tell her
But when he was gone
He had no breath left to tell her
His undying love
His undying love
Well I heard the queen flung herself from the walls of the castle
But in the midst of her fall
She regretted it all
But it was too late
Her undying grief
Was her own life's thief
Well kings and queens know not about love
They sink like a stone in their mind
Just steep
Well im no king and ive no golden crown to adorn a king
But I'm not asking you fall
Except in love with me
Oh just, please fall
In undying love, in undying love
well you and i know not
wat it means
lets sink like two stones, in love
well kings and queens dont no about love
they sink like a stone
in thier mind
just steep
you and i know not what it means
Let's sink like two stones in love
'Cause kings and queens know not about love
they sink like two stones in their minds
just steep

Fast Car

Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
this song is incredible.
However, this song is NOT by Andrew Landon. He has written a lot of songs by himself, I'm sure and is an amazing musician. But this song is actually written and played by Daniel Bryant, his song called "Like Two Stones".
So please, support the people behind the music, check out Daniel Bryant, myspace.com/danielbryantmusic
And the songs Eveningtide and Scarecrow were written by Jacob White. myspace.com/jacobwhitesongs so go check them both out, there are a few more songs that Andrew Landon stole from other artists.
It's a big deal. Search around if you want to find out the truth for yourself, but stealing is not an act I respect. I hope you guys understand why I'm angry at Andrew Landon for doing this.
Hey Ben - Thanks for your support of Daniel Bryant. I just saw he posted a new Kickstarter campaign today! Check it out. Spread the word. <br /> <br /> kickstarter.com/projects/bearcarvermusic/bear-carver-full-length-album
