This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
She said I think I'm overwhelmed but we're just friends
Keith said well I don't need another friend
Caved in and counted out and he doesn't understand
Why are the ones that hurt the ones that hold my hand?
While they pretend to scratch your back
They hold the knife aside
And when they feel they've gained your trust
They drive it in your spine
What is it that makes them sure
Their confidence be so secure
Does everyone put prices on their pride?
No Keith Ledsome this is your life
He thinks could first impressions really be my enemy?
And is appearance so important?
Caved in and counted out and he doesn't understand
Why are the ones that hurt the ones that hold my hand?
While they pretend to scratch your back
They hold the knife aside
And when they feel they've gained your trust
They drive it in your spine
What is it that makes them sure
Their confidence be so secure
Does everyone put prices on their pride?
No Keith Ledsome this is your life
Does anyone know nights alone just waiting for that call?
I shun your sappy unity until the final fall
Throw back a few more drinks and bleed my knuckles raw
Keith says I know that you feel sorry for me
It's my life's story
While they pretend to scratch your back
They hold the knife aside
And when they feel they've gained your trust
They drive it in your spine
What is it that makes them sure
Their confidence be so secure
Does everyone put prices on their pride?
No Keith Ledsome this is your life
Keith said well I don't need another friend
Caved in and counted out and he doesn't understand
Why are the ones that hurt the ones that hold my hand?
While they pretend to scratch your back
They hold the knife aside
And when they feel they've gained your trust
They drive it in your spine
What is it that makes them sure
Their confidence be so secure
Does everyone put prices on their pride?
No Keith Ledsome this is your life
He thinks could first impressions really be my enemy?
And is appearance so important?
Caved in and counted out and he doesn't understand
Why are the ones that hurt the ones that hold my hand?
While they pretend to scratch your back
They hold the knife aside
And when they feel they've gained your trust
They drive it in your spine
What is it that makes them sure
Their confidence be so secure
Does everyone put prices on their pride?
No Keith Ledsome this is your life
Does anyone know nights alone just waiting for that call?
I shun your sappy unity until the final fall
Throw back a few more drinks and bleed my knuckles raw
Keith says I know that you feel sorry for me
It's my life's story
While they pretend to scratch your back
They hold the knife aside
And when they feel they've gained your trust
They drive it in your spine
What is it that makes them sure
Their confidence be so secure
Does everyone put prices on their pride?
No Keith Ledsome this is your life

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

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.
This song particualrly reminds me of this bassist in a local band around here (no names) But I trusted him and as soon as we hooked up…he stabbed me in the back. So, this song kinda reminds me of him and I’d love to dedicate it to him sometime…hmmm..I could always ask Aaron...nah...forget it
