Woke up this morning, put on my make up
I didn't stop to think of what's going on
Outside my window, the world is changing
I can't remember where it all went wrong

I see people crying and families hurting
A mama's praying that her baby comes home
I see the future of a better place

So I wanna make, make this a place
Where we can forget all the problems of yesterday
Let's make a change for a better today
Let it begin with me, make it reality, I wanna change

I never believed that, that, that things will never change
Cause whenever I look back, back, nothing has stayed the same
Except that all I see are shadows of me, times where
I just fail to believe that faith is not whatever you see
But hoping what it really could be

So we can make a difference if we turn it around
The world is upside down
The revolution starts inside, yeah

Change, make this a place
Where we can forget all the problems of yesterday
Let's make a change for a better today
Let it begin with me, make it reality, I wanna change
I wanna change

In need a better future, let's be a part of the cure
Where unity can be the brush to paint a better picture
We need to plant a seed of something we're all in need off
Through God we can make this world
Into something we only dream of

So we can make a difference if we turn it around
The world is upside down

Make this a place
Where we can forget all the problems of yesterday
Let's make a change for a better today
Let it begin with me, make this reality, I wanna change
I wanna change, I wanna change, I wanna change
I wanna change, I wanna change

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Silent Planet
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.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
