He happened to meet her, a sweet señorita
One night at a gala fiesta
A picture in fine Spanish laces
With one of those pretty faces

The music and moonlight, the spell of a June night
The charm of an old Spanish setting
Brought romance in all it's glory
The start of a sweet love story

Ay-ay-ay-ay
He won my heart, amigo
He said that he loved no one but me
So off to the chapel we go

Ay-ay-ay-ay
There is a part we will know
He'll bring the ring, the choir will sing
So wish me luck, amigo

He happened to meet her, a sweet señorita
One night at a gala fiesta
A picture in fine Spanish laces
With one of the pretty faces

The music and moonlight, the spell of a June night
The charm of an old Spanish setting
Brought romance in all it's glory
The start of a sweet love story

Ay-ay-ay-ay
He won my heart, amigo
He said that he loved no one but me
So off to the chapel we go

Ay-ay-ay-ay
There is a part we will know
He'll bring the ring, the choir will sing
So wish me luck, amigo

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“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.
