Riders on the Moonlight

Rage

Nothing higher than the stars
And nothing deeper than my scars
Can show the difference between me and you

Let me take you by the hand
I'll lead you ways that never end
Yeah, I could show you if you dare to do

Danger, danger, catch the fall
The devil's painted on the wall

We're riders, riders on the moonlight
We're riders, riders on the moonlight
Riders, riders on the moonlight

If you want to taste the night
Just wait until the time is right
Then let the waves of darkness fill your mind

Sheltered by the shady green
We're out to see the things unseen
There ain't no thrills of any other kind

Danger, danger, heads will roll
The devil's painted on the wall

We're riders, riders on the moonlight
We're riders, riders on the moonlight
Riders, riders on the moonlight

We're lunatics, ridin' on the moonlight
Maniacs ridin' on the moonlight

We're riders, riders on the moonlight
We're riders, riders on the moonlight
Riders, riders on the moonlight

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”

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.

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.

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.
