Close your eyes, sweet baby
Now don't you cry
Everybody gets their heart broke
Sweet baby, sometime
So he left you for another fool
Yes, a fool
For lovin' him from the start
Ask yourself what's more important
Him or the broken pieces of your heart
Sweet baby
Stand tall (tall)
Sweet baby (baby)
Don't you fall
You ain't the only one gettin' beat down
It happens to us all
The road you chose to walk in this life (the road you choose to walk in this life)
Is one that leads into the next
So sweet baby, stand tall (sweet baby, stand tall)
Stand tall (sweet, sweet baby)
Sweet baby
Sweet baby
Hold your tears back now
Better days gonna come your way soon, oh yeah sweet baby
Some way, somehow
Oh-oh (ohh-oh)
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet baby
Sweet baby
Walk faster, sweet baby
Don't let those bad boys catch you now
Those things that they will have you do
You been done known better, oh, and how
How can you sleep knowing that you and a fool?
Sing in the same key
Walk faster sweet baby (walk faster)
Strive to be the very best that you can be (sweet baby)
Sweet baby
Oh, sweet baby
Sweet baby
Hold your tears back now
Better days gonna come your way soon
Oh yeah, sweet baby, someway, somehow
Whoa (ohh-oh)
(Sweet baby)
Sweet baby
Better days gonna come your way, yeah
Sweet baby
Now don't you cry
Everybody gets their heart broke
Sweet baby, sometime
So he left you for another fool
Yes, a fool
For lovin' him from the start
Ask yourself what's more important
Him or the broken pieces of your heart
Sweet baby
Stand tall (tall)
Sweet baby (baby)
Don't you fall
You ain't the only one gettin' beat down
It happens to us all
The road you chose to walk in this life (the road you choose to walk in this life)
Is one that leads into the next
So sweet baby, stand tall (sweet baby, stand tall)
Stand tall (sweet, sweet baby)
Sweet baby
Sweet baby
Hold your tears back now
Better days gonna come your way soon, oh yeah sweet baby
Some way, somehow
Oh-oh (ohh-oh)

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Not sure about the exact meaning but this sure is a song that always makes me cry. For me it has the same feel to it as: 'Sometimes it Snows in April'. Both songs touch me deep in my heart.
