Stay Close

The Blue Nile

Stand in the light
So I can see
The morning makes it bad
Sun beating low
Soon you will know
If love is the way
Soon you will go
Your own way
Yeah yeah
Stay close to me
Stay close to me
Stay close to me
Stay close to me
Blowing down the street
To see you one more time
Is the world still at your feet?
And you let somebody love you
One day you'll feel
The way I feel
Soon you'll go
Your own way
Hey
Stay close to me
Stay close to me
Yeah yeah yeah
Stay close to me
Hey yeah
Stay close to me
Yeah yeah yeah
Stay close to me yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Stay close to me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
We gonna live free
Yeah
Stay close to me
The cowboys in the railway station
I gave up on news
The common hall at 3am
Said how'd it go
Yeah how'd it go today?
One day you'll know
In days
The sun down is calling home
Your waking up
The radio
Stay close to me
Yeah yeh
Stay close to me
Hey yeah
Stay close
Stay close to me
Stay close
Stay close
Stay close to me
Stay close to me
Stay close to me
Stay close to me
Stay close to me
Stay close
Stay close

    At first glance (and given the picture of a double bed in the album cover) it seems fairly obviously a song about the end of a romantic relationship.

    I think it can also work, though, as a song from a father to an adult child. Coming to terms with his separation from them, seeing the future that lies ahead of them Try it on, see if you like it.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

“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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
