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.
Blame it on the Goose (Goose)
Gotcha feelin' loose (loose)
Blame it on the 'Tron ('Tron)
Got you in the zone (zone)
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol

Hey she say she usually don't (don't, don't)
But I know that she frontin' (frontin', frontin')
'Cause shawty know what she want (want, want)
But she don't wanna seem like she easy
I hear you sayin' what ya won't do (won't do, won't do)
But you know we probably goin' do (gon' do, gon do')
What you been fiendin' deep inside (don't lie now)
Girl what you drinkin'?

Here for the weekend, thinkin' we can
See what we can be if we press press forward
Just one more round and you're down, I know it

And now I'm knowin' she's tipsy (tipsy, tipsy)

And she keep starin' me right in my eyes
No tellin' what I'm gon' do (gon' do, gon' do)
Baby I would rather show you (show you, show you)
What you been missin' in your life when I get inside
Girl what you drinkin'?
Gon' let sink in

You open up like a book, I ain't trippin ('cause I'ma read ya)

It's goin' down, we can go and kick it like Judo (Judo)

Shawty got drunk, thought it all was a dream
So I made her say I, I
Now she got her hand on my legs
Got my seats all wet in my ride (all wet in my ride)
All over my ride (all over my ride)
She look me dead in the eye, eye-eye
Then my pants got bigger
She already knew what to figure
Had her lookin' at her boyfriend like, "Fuck, that nigga"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Gotta agree with the first two comments...
This song is great. Its so laid back, just about having a good time in the club and attributing all that great fun to your favorite drink (personally mine is hennessey, so thanks to Jamie Foxx for shouting out to my favorite;))
