Put Your Records On
Embrace Life's Rhythm: A Musical Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Three little birds sat on my window
Observing three birds outside the window
And they told me I don't need to worry
Assurance from the birds that there's no need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet
Describing summer as sweet and comforting like cinnamon
Little girls, double-dutch on the concrete
Depicting scenes of carefree little girls playing double-dutch
Maybe sometimes we got it wrong, but it's all right
Acknowledging mistakes but emphasizing that it's okay
The more things seems to change, the more they stay the same
Reflecting on the paradox that things may change, but some remain constant
Ooh, don't you hesitate
Encouraging not to hesitate
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
Encouraging a girl to play her favorite song and relax
You go ahead, let your hair down
Advising to let her hair down, symbolizing relaxation
Sapphire and faded jeans
Describing a laid-back style with sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Expressing hope for the realization of dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
Reiterating the advice to let her hair down and be herself
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
Believing that she'll find herself in due course
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely
Describing a person as blue as the sky, sunburnt, and lonely
Sipping tea in a bar by the road side
Imagining someone calmly sipping tea at a roadside bar
(Just relax, just relax)
Emphasizing the need to relax
Don't you let those other boys fool you
Warning not to be fooled by other boys
Gotta love that Afro hairdo
Appreciating an Afro hairdo
Maybe sometimes we feel afraid, but it's all right
Acknowledging fear but reassuring that it's okay
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change
Commenting on the paradox that the more things stay the same, the more they change
Don't you think it's strange?
Pondering the strangeness of this phenomenon
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
Repeating the encouragement to play favorite records and relax
You go ahead, let your hair down
Reiterating the advice to let her hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
Describing a laid-back style with sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Expressing hope for the realization of dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
Encouraging the girl to be herself and find her path
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
Believing that she'll find herself eventually
Just more than I could take
Expressing a feeling of being overwhelmed
Pity for pity's sake
Expressing pity and questioning its purpose
Some nights kept me awake
Describing sleepless nights and inner struggles
I thought that I was stronger
Reflecting on a perceived strength
When you gonna realize that you don't even have to try any longer?
Questioning the need for effort and realization of inherent strength
Do what you want to
Encouraging the freedom to do what one desires
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
Repeating the encouragement to play favorite records and relax
You go ahead, let your hair down
Reiterating the advice to let her hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
Describing a laid-back style with sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Expressing hope for the realization of dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
Encouraging the girl to be herself and find her path
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
Repeating the encouragement to play favorite records and relax
You go ahead, let your hair down
Reiterating the advice to let her hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
Describing a laid-back style with sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Expressing hope for the realization of dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
Encouraging the girl to be herself and find her path
Ooh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
Believing that she'll find herself eventually
