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.
My love for you is real
It moves like a summer breeze
My love for you is strong
Lord it brings me to my knees
It's born in the wild
This real love
Love strong
True love is ours
Honey now
My love for you is real
My love for you is gone
Candy sweet and thunder strange
My love for you is wild
It breaks the lockets melting
My love for you is long
Across the oceans all the same
My love for you is true
Need exchange the love it takes
It's born in the wild
This river long
Love strong
True never stings
Honey now
My love for you is real
Uh huh
It's real, oh
It's real, oh
Honey now
My love for you is real
It moves like a summer breeze
My love for you is strong
Lord it brings me to my knees
It's born in the wild
This real love
Love strong
True love is ours
Honey now
My love for you is real
My love for you is gone
Candy sweet and thunder strange
My love for you is wild
It breaks the lockets melting
My love for you is long
Across the oceans all the same
My love for you is true
Need exchange the love it takes
It's born in the wild
This river long
Love strong
True never stings
Honey now
My love for you is real
Uh huh
It's real, oh
It's real, oh
Honey now
My love for you is real

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline

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.

Amazing...."Just give me a kiss goodbye Cause it's all you'll have to say"
beautiful song.
i'd love to play this for my girlfriend, but we've only been dating a couple weeks and i don't want to be one of those guys who act like they are obsessed with a girl. even though i pretty much am
One of the few DRA songs that aren't about lust, lost love or obsession. Just a pure and honest love song saying "I love you" and what we have is real, you do not have to question it.
We need the Cardinals version of this.
Whoops. Updated. Thanks! Great song.
HMM SOME VERSES MISSING RIGHT?!
GREAT SONG!
so sweet and beautiful...reminds me of my love...and how lucky i am...
To me, this is a gorgeous love song by Ryan Adams. It's simple, sweet and direct, without any tongue-in-cheek snarkiness or hint of impending break-up. Personally, I like those songs, too. :-) Regardless, here are the lyrics I hear in the version of "My Love for You is Real" on the Follow the Lights EP.
"My love for you is real; It moves like the summer breeze. My love for you is strong; Lord, it brings me to my knees.
"It was born in the wild. It’s river-long, Rock strong, True and wild as hell. Honey, now, my love for you is real.
"My love for you is calm; Candy sweet and thunder strength. My love for you is wild. It breaks the lock, it’s never tame.
"My love for you is long; It crossed the oceans on the sail. My love for you is true; The meanings change but not the tale.
"It was born in the wild. It’s river-long, Rock strong, True and never stale. Honey, now, my love for you is real.
"Oh, oh, oh, it’s real. Oh, oh, oh, it’s real. Oh, oh, oh, honey, now, My love for you is real."
Thanks!
Okay, just one more correction:<br /> <br /> "True and never still." <br /> <br /> The more I listen, the more I hear "still" instead of "stale". <br /> <br /> Thanks. :-)
