Tangerines are hanging heavy, glowing marigolden hues. Teasing a half-pale moon. An I feel a pull to the blue-velvet dark and stars. Pink magnolia, blusing and coy, savors the sun while she shines. You've got yours and I've got mine. Together we glide through the blue-velvet dark and stars. All it takes is a little faith, and alot of heart. Back and forth, we ply these oars, they move in time and get entwined. Green with joy then gray with sorrow, ripened fruit that falls tomorrow, filling us with brilliance. Branches are bare with a pulse underneath, flowering slowly inside. Your hands are warm and my body is wide, to hold all the promis of blue-velvet dark and stars. All it takes is a little faith and alot of heart, sweetheart

    This is a very peaceful picture of the nature of marriage -- A boat going down a river with two oars, husband and wife, working together. The bare branches, yet with a pulse underneath, symbolize future hope for life and happiness.

    I think this song is a really romantic view of two lovers trying for a baby.

    With lines like "pull to the blue velvet" and the whole part about "Back and forth we ply these oars, They move in time and get entwined" decribing them making love and then the part about ripend fruit could be the pregnancy and having a child.

    Woah, FFAMikey- Never thought of it that way before, but it makes perfect sense, especially the verse towards the end: "Branches are bare with a pulse underneath Flowering slowly inside Your hands are warm and my body is wide To hold all the promise of blue-velvet dark and stars" The pulse being the baby, of course, and the wide body being...well, I think you get the picture ;) Either way, gorgeous song.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.

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.
