This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Who knew God cheats when he's wrestling?
I wanna keep my confessions so I keep throwing guesses at
Him like suggestions don't spar him pressin' on me
Here's a lesson tryin' to be where my best is and I
Keep throwing lefties till my right's all right
Where I left him out of reach of the people out to get him
Don't do handouts; no I hand out concessions
Sayin' "I ain't got nothin' but my hands. Clutch my treasure."
A measure of a man is kindness
Why do I preach to the choir and whatever my kind is?
My eyes are on the other side of minus
If my lifestyle tapes from the other side, I'm fine with
Threats to my climate hang in the air like promise
I wanna be seas need a planet to rise with my
Feet on the bodies; these streets are overlined
And from anyone the chosen one can rise
Put the book away, we fight today
And the fires burn with brighter flames
There's a balm in Gilead
There's a balm in Gilead
I was never one to wanna throw away the laws
More the one to wanna floor debate the flaws
Offer up amendments and coordinate the cause
And keep the faith a let the Lord escape the cross
Dear Gods, please protect me from those who take you literally
Pause, bless each motivation that contols me
Please forgive me for every time I didn't really
Reflect peace or at least provide a bitter release
To those bitterly burned by your followers
Workin' for Haliburton or totin' Excaliburs
Some of them know all the words but unaware of the
Honorarium from Livin' on a Prayer
Sincerely John and Brer, we deliver high (with no cannibus)
P.S. we try to stay humble but we hope that you're a fan of us
If not we can adjust. P.P.S. My God, why have you abandoned us?
Put the book away, we fight today
And the fires burn with brighter flames
There's a balm in Gilead
There's a balm in Gilead
I'm trying to walk the path of an ancient hemophiliac
Basilisk lizard while I'm standing on a lilypad
Retelling stories that are older than the Ilead
There is a balm, there is a balm in Gilead
We put the balms in the side and the sides ah heal
Put the balm to the side, insides reveal
All the God talk rings hollow like a Glockenspiel
No time for what might not be real
So whatever your tradition, never stop wrestling
With precedent and privilege, never stop wrestling
With flags and divinity, never stop wrestling
With love for your enemies, never stop wrestling
With faith and community, never stop wrestling
With every god you worship, never stop wrestling
Tryin' to be perfect but love who you are
To divine your true prupose
Put the book away, we fight today
And the fires burn with brighter flames
There's a balm in Gilead
There's a balm in Gilead
I wanna keep my confessions so I keep throwing guesses at
Him like suggestions don't spar him pressin' on me
Here's a lesson tryin' to be where my best is and I
Keep throwing lefties till my right's all right
Where I left him out of reach of the people out to get him
Don't do handouts; no I hand out concessions
Sayin' "I ain't got nothin' but my hands. Clutch my treasure."

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
