Would you take a straight and narrow, critical look at me?
Would you tell me tough-love style?
Put judicial weight on me
If you're thinking anything
If you're thinking endlessly
If you're thinking anything
If you're thinkin'

I feel the breeze
Your feathers of an arrow
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow
I take my aim, you feel me coming close
I take my aim so you feel me coming close

I feel the breeze
Your feathers of an arrow
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow
I take my aim, you feel me coming close
I take my aim so you feel me coming close

Would you take a calm and tender, terminal kind of care?
Would you touch me?
Cling and wage an intimid fight for me?
If you're thinking anything
If you're thinking endlessly
If you're thinking anything
If you're thinkin'

I feel the breeze
Your feathers of an arrow
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow
I take my aim, you feel me coming close
I take my aim so you feel me coming close

I feel the breeze
Your feathers of an arrow
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow
I take my aim, you feel me coming close
I take my aim so you feel me coming close

I feel the breeze
Your feathers of an arrow
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow
I take my aim, you feel me coming close
I take my aim so you feel me coming close

I feel the breeze
Your feathers of an arrow
Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow
I take my aim, you feel me coming close
I take my aim so you feel me coming close

    Song Meaning

    When I listen to this song I think of a situation in which you are flirting with someone and you are giving signals but you are not sure of each other what you are meaning and what will happen. Still you do have the certainty that there is something there, that the other is somehow "hitting on you", has her arrow on you. That's so sexy about the main line, "I feel the breaze. Feel feathers of an arrow", it is as if you feel the other's arrow approaching you (and that is a very sexy feeling), you feel her gaze on you. But this gaze is a bit scary as well, because, "would you take a straight and narrow, critical look at me"? Would the other measure every word you say, could you disappoint her by doing or saying something wrong, looking stupid? Or "would you take a calm and tender, terminal care of me"? Is the gaze caring and loving, so that you can feel safe? You don't know yet in that moment and that is making you nervous, still "I take my aim, so you feel me coming close": you take the plunge.

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.

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.

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.
