In the moonlight
Gettin', why I ought to get back
It's a, this day is sure to relapse
It's getting closer to up-ends

In the moonlight
Given two lost wings
A beautiful star, I see
A wonderful sense of feeling

In the moonlight
Feel, it's a love draw nearer
Darkened days, I spent in
A night bird is following you all the time

Under a star-lined ceiling
In darkness, I see
All your senses revealed
In the moonlight

It's, it's the love draw nearer
Darkened days, I spent in
A night bird is following you all the time
It's a love draw nearer

Darkened days, I spent in
A night bird is following you
Is following you
A night bird is following you all the time

    This version is so much more interesting than the Lost Dogs version (as good as it is)! Matt has such a cool voice and i think this should have gotten a proper production and been on the album. Stone and Jack Irons, even Jeff, had songs released where they did the lead vox... so why not Matt? He's a better singer than all those three anyway.

    Matt wrote this song with an original vision in mind, and it just seems that Eddie took hold of it, did his own version and removed some of the original purity of it...

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"

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
