El azar es la metáfora perfecta
De quien le busca inspiración a la tristeza
El destino es la cuartada sigilosa
De quien lo pretende todo y nunca acierta

Mientras el destino asoma su perfil
El presente se debate con la muerte
Como quien se juega el todo por el todo
Como una moneda puesta al viento
Jugando siempre, apostando siempre

A cara o cruz, ante la incrucijada
Revisas las cosas que pudieron pasar
Y que se suspendieron, por verlas
Girando en el viento

A cara o cruz, te jugaste los besos
Los sueños, el llanto y la cordura mortal
De ignorar el futuro, y escoger al amor de tu vida

A cara o cruz
Mientras que en la ventana se escurre el tiempo

Mientras la moneda da vuelvas, al viento
Un beso te perfuma la existencia
Mujer de corazon partido en dos
Dime a cual mitad yo pertenezco

Lo que para ti es tremenda incrucijada
Para mi es amar la incertidumbre
Lo que para ti es borron y cuenta nueva
Para mi es principio o final
Jugando siempre, apostando siempre

A cara o cruz, ante la incrucijada
Revisas las cosas que pudieron pasar
Y que se suspendieron, por verlas
Girando en el viento

A cara o cruz, te jugaste los besos
Los sueños, el llanto y la cordura mortal
De ignorar el futuro, y escoger al amor de tu vida

A cara o cruz
Mientras que en la ventana se escurre, el tiempo

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
