Il y avait des débordements anciens
Tu sais, quand tu voulais rien
Pas plus d'un sourire que d'un refrain
Dis, est-ce que tu t'en souviens?

Il y avait nos deux corps ne demandant rien
Tu sais, quand tu voulais bien, sur Broadway
Que l'on se tienne la main

Comme Luna et Milan, là dans Manhattan
Do you remember, do you remember?
Luna et Milan, là dans Manhattan
Do you remember, do you remember? (You're out!)

Il y a nos efforts, nous deux en chemin
Des journées, presque magiciens
Qui n'a pas aussi fait
Le doute aussi m'a dit "est-ce que tu me soutiens?"

Il y a tout autour des milliards d'êtres humains
Monica, Mado, Milan, Salomé, Tohan
Qui prendra la suite avant de perdre la faim

Pour Luna et Milan, là dans Manhattan
Do you remember, do you remember?
Luna et Milan, là dans Manhattan
Do you remember, do you remember? (You're out!)

(Just tune it out, just tune it out)
(Just tune it out, just tune it out)
(Just tune it out, just tune it out)
(Just tune it out, just tune it out)
(Out, out)

Dis, tout va bien, si, toi d'où tu es, dis?
Moi d'où je suis, tiens? Moi j'en sais rien, si?
Dis, tout va bien, si, toi d'où tu es, dis?
Moi d'où je suis, tiens? Moi j'en sais rien, si?

Il y avait des débordements anciens
Tu sais, quand tu voulais rien
Pas plus d'un sourire que d'un refrain
Dis, est-ce que tu t'en souviens?

Il y aura de nous prendre soin
Aimer de près, aimer de loin
Aimer le rythme de chacun

Ceux de Luna et Milan, là dans Manhattan
Do you remember, do you remember?
Luna et Milan, là dans Manhattan
Do you remember, do you remember? (You're out!)

(Just tune it out, just tune it out)
(Just tune it out, just tune it out)
(Just tune it out, just tune it out)
(Just tune it out, just tune it out)
(Out, out)
(Out, out)

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
