Someone to Love

Hey Marseilles

The summer sun will set she said
If you leave it up there long
Take its beams and moon-time dreams
Leave town and be gone

I guess you can call that truth
I will call it lie
I will think of times gone by
When you and I were fine
I will hold those days up to my eye

Sometimes I don't know what you were thinking of
All I want is someone to love

Take your time and talk to him
It matters not at all
I will give you time enough
To know him very well

I am locking down the house
Staring at the wall
All I want to do today is sleep like I once could
If you could give me that
That'd be good

Sometimes I don't what you were thinking of
All I want is someone to love
All I want is someone to love
And you were pretty good to love
And you were pretty good to love

    The beauty of this song is that we've all been there. It tells a beautiful and relatable story with gorgeous music. Hey Marseilles is genius.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.

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.
