Clap Again

Akon

I'm like a bird and I aim so high
In my Lear looking at the blue sky
Can't let another day pass by
Without doing what I feel inside
'Cause its embedded in my soul
The day I stop will be the day I turn cold
Let you know I'm breaking outta that hole
And let go

So I can be free to do what means most to me
And you can look back one day
And know I shared with you my gift
I hope you wouldn't think I just leave
Pack up and roll up my sleeve
Give it all up and leave you nothing to take with me all I got to give

That's why
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again

So if your life is twisted, ain't going right
Just forget about it tonight
I just wanna make you happy baby
Dancing and clapping (Dancing and clapping)
'Cause we plan to be here 'till the morning light
Can you feel the change in your life?
Ain't it feeling like magic baby?
I'm the one that make it happen baby

So you can be free to do what was meant to be
And you can look back one day
And know I shared with you my gift
Would you think I just leave?
Pack up and roll up my sleeve
Give it all up and leave you nothing to take with me all I got to give

I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again

I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again

I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again

I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again

I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again
I just want to make you clap again
Just clap again

    I think it's a song about redemption, hence the "I hope you wouldn't think I'd just leave" and "I just want to make you clap again"

    "Cuz its embedded in my soul, the day I stop'll be the day I turn cold"

    It's about his love for performing and that he's not going to stop just because he's already reached success. He wants his fans to continue enjoying his music (clap again). It's clear in the last verse when he says that he's sharing his gift and he's not going to walk away and keep it to himself.

    And you can look back one day And know I shared with you my gift Hope you wouldn't think I'd just leave Pack up and roll up my sleeve Give it all up and leave you nuthin' And take with me all I got to give

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
