Hush my baby, don't you cry
I'll dry your eyes, fulfill your heart's desire
Let's go in, try again
Careful this time, broken promises linger in our mind

I'll give in completely, hearts break so easy
I know. Believe me, oh, I've tried
But my arms can hold you, my kiss console you
I'll come and love you tonight

And I
I love, I love, I love
Love hurts sometimes
But this feels right
You
You love, you love, you love
Though you've been burned
You still return

Come and share my house, my home, and all I own.
I'd love to give to you
Aren't you tired of going along this lonely road?
It takes its toll on you

Give me your emotion, your heart's devotion
Give anything you like
And I'll give understanding, life's so demanding
I'm all you need to get by

And I
I love, I love, I love
Love hurts sometimes
But this feels right
You
You love, you love, you love
Though you've been burned
You still return

I love, I love, I love

Love hurts sometimes
But this feels right

And you
You love you love you love
Though you've been burned
You still return

Still return
Still return to love (oh)
Keep coming back to love (ah oh)

    My Opinion

    I absolutly love this song. It's my favorite on his new album Evolver. If you ever need to know what a relationship should be then just listen to this song. It beautiful and truthful.

    I'm sure the guitar lick is from a Dire Straits song, but I can't think of which one it is right now. Grrr. But anyways, great song. I think the meaning is kinda obvious...love in a relationship.

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”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
