Start Again

Red

I picked you up at the corner of Belmont
Yeah I'm a wreck
That's exactly what you want
You're just a mess in a dress
Better count to ten
And keep my thoughts in my head
Think I'll start again
I picked you up at the corner of Belmont
Yeah I'm a wreck
That's exactly what you want
You're just a mess in a dress
Better count to ten
And keep my thoughts in my head
Think I'll start again
I think I'll start again
It's time to start again
I think I'll start again
It's time to start again
Just stop
I don't think that we'll make it out alive
I don't think I can take it
Cuz you've been dragging us both through Hell
And I'm just worried about my mental health
Just stop
I don't think that we'll make it out alive
I don't think I can take it
Cuz you've been dragging us both through Hell
And I'm just worried about my mental health
I picked you up at the corner of Belmont
It's plain to see but I guess that I forgot
You broke my heart from the start
Cuz you know you can
Go waste your time in the arms of another man
I think I'll start again
It's time to start again
I think I'll start again
It's time to start again
Just stop
I don't think that we'll make it out alive
I don't think I can take it
Cuz you've been dragging us both through Hell
And I'm just worried about my mental health
Just stop
I don't think that we'll make it out alive
I don't think I can take it
Cuz you've been dragging us both through Hell
And I'm just worried about my mental health
I still see you sitting there
Broken heel and broken hearted
It was broke before you started
So blissfully unaware
I drove you home in silence
I don't think that I've cried since
I still see you sitting there
Broken heel and broken hearted
It was broke before you started
So blissfully unaware
I drove you home in silence
I don't think that I've cried since
Cuz you've been dragging us both through Hell
And I'm just worried about my mental health
Cuz you've been dragging us both through Hell
And I'm just worried about my mental health

    this song brings tears to my eyes when he sings the chorus.... This is a powerful and moving song that evokes so many emotions in me personally, because i understand this on the Christian level and on the personal level with someone i did wrong...so powerful

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
