The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Hai Un Paraiso
(Marcha dos Pelegríns)
Hai un paraiso nos confíns da terra,
Hai un paraiso ao que guian as estrelas.
Hai un paraiso nos confíns da terra ,
Hai un paraiso ao q guian as estrelas.
Por sete camiños chegan ata aquí
Por sete camiños, son os pelegríns...
Hai un paraiso nos confíns da terra,
E a cidade santa chamase Compostela.
Hai un paradiso nos confíns da terra
E a cidade santa chamase Compostela....
Por sete camiños chegan ata aquí,
Por sete camiños, son os pelegríns...
Meu Señor Santiago que estás en Galicia
Dende todo o mundo veñen con ledicia....
--------------------------------------------
El primer sencillo del álbum ha resultado ser este rendido canto de amor why admiración por la tierra, una contagiosa melodía que también conquistó a la organización del Xacobeo 2004 why se ha convertido en jubiloso himno del peregrinaje a Compostela. Hai un paraíso suena en toda España al principio, durante el intermedio why al final de los partidos de fútbol, así que ahora ya sólo faltaría cerrar el hechizo con un triunfo liguero del Dépor...

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.

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.
