They say it takes a lot to keep a love alive:
In every heart there pumps a different beat
But if we shift the rhythm into overdrive,
We could generate a lot of heat....
CHORUS
On 52nd Street
On 52nd Street
We're gonna throw a little soul parade,
Before they know the second bar was played
We're gonna slip it to 'em short and sweet
CHORUS
In every heart there pumps a different beat
But if we shift the rhythm into overdrive,
We could generate a lot of heat....
CHORUS
On 52nd Street
On 52nd Street
We're gonna throw a little soul parade,
Before they know the second bar was played
We're gonna slip it to 'em short and sweet
CHORUS

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

“Head > 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.
In Spain, in 1979 when I purchased the single vinyl "My life" it had "52nd street" as a B side. I didn't have many records at the time cause I was a child so "My life", "Blame it on the boogie" and "September" (Jacksons and Earth, Wind and fire, resp.) and their B sides sounded on and on and on on my record player. "52nd street" was not so catchy as "My life", but it taught me that there were some other rhythms, obscure and jazzy, with a lot of smoke and alcoholic odor, that remained from then on forever. I came to discover Ray Charles and Billy Holiday, so I suppose it worthed the listening. And 52nd street and Billy Joel's dark blue voice stood and stays there as a favourite... playing in my teenager room, forever.
@le fer et le feu Well written - personal, evocative, cool. This album holds many memories for me as well. Love Ray and Billy Holiday too. Never put it together that Billy Joel helped me understand them, but reading this, I'm sure he did.<br />
