Something's Gotta Give

OneRepublic

I-I-I, I'm sinking in
You know that something's got to

Something's gotta give
And then you told yourself
You found a modern Mona Lisa
You gave her all your love
You said I pray this fool could keep her
You got no money
It doesn't mean a thing
You got time
And time is everything
Knock all night
Stay awake
Listening to
Records that you like
Now you're saying

I-I-I, I'm sinking in
You know that something's got to
Something's gotta give, oh

And then you showed yourself
All the colors that you fear
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It doesn't mean a thing
You got love
So you got everything
Talk all night
Stay awake
Listening to
Records that we like

I-I-I, I'm sinking in
You know that something's got to
Something's gotta give

It's gotta give
Oh whoa oh, whoa oh
Oh whoa oh, whoa oh
Oh whoa oh, whoa oh
Oh whoa oh, whoa oh

Something's gotta give
It's gotta give
It's gotta give
Oh whoa oh, whoa oh

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head &gt; Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
