Earth

MeShell NdegeOcello

Let me be the rain
You thirst for
Let me be the sun
That you adore
And let my sweet, sweet ocean
Caress your shore
Let your heart
Search no more

You're my earth
Mmm
Paradise
I say you're my earth
My earth, my my
You're my earth
You're my earth
Sweet paradise
I say you're my earth

There's no place I'd rather be
Your beauty is surrounding me
For your tears black orchids bloom
Orchids bloom
My soul is fed by you
Fed by you
The wanting with birth, then death
It's back to dirt
Home, to you

You're my earth
In paradise
I say you're my earth
My earth, my my
You're my earth
You're my earth
Sweet, sweet paradise
I say you're my earth

Sweet, sweet
Mmm
Sweet, sweet paradise

I searched for you all over the world
Yes, search
Searched for you
All my life

I've searched,
Searched for you
Searched for you all my life
Life
Mmm
Yeah

Oh I
Mmm
I've searched,
Searched for you
Searched for you all my life

I've searched,
Searched for you
Searched for you all my life
Oh I

Listen to my heart speak
Bathe in the warmth of the morning sun
Morning sun, morning sun
I wait for you
I wait for you
Hmm
Bathe in the warmth of the morning sun
Morning sun, morning sun
My earth

Bathe in the warmth of the morning sun
I wait for you, I wait for you
Bathe in the warmth of the morning sun
I wait for you, I wait for you
Bathe in the warmth of the morning sun
I wait for you, I wait for you.

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”

Silent Planet
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.

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.
