Weatherman says, "It might hit ninety - five. "
September's goinna' feel more like July
He's callin' for a night that's warm and mild
I think he missed it by a mile
He just don't know that you're gone
I feel a cold one comin' on

Drivin' home gets longer every day
I found new things to do along the way
A bar room ain't no place to run and hide
From the memories of a love that said goodbye
I'm sick and tired of right or wrong
I feel a cold one comin' on

Makes you wanta' start thinkin' about drinkin'
If I don't find a way to ease my mind
Leave all this behind
I'm goinna' go crazy. without you baby
A bar room or that bed room back at home
I feel a cold one comin' on

Makes you wanta' start thinkin' about drinkin'
If I don't find a way to ease my mind
Leave all this behind
I'm goinna' go crazy. without you baby
A bar room or that bed room back at home
I feel a cold one comin' on

A bar room or that bedroom back at home
I feel a cold one comin' on

    Song Meaning

    Well, the music video for this song puts all pieces together. For those who haven't seen it, it shows how a wife looses her husband who is ill. How her life is shattered, how everything around her reminds her of her now late husband, how her whole world comes tumbling down around her and how she thinks that she can't go on anymore and have to take her own life. But, brighter days are ahead and she finds new things to live for. Well, we can asume anyway.

    I don't know if this is the EXACT story MG wanted to convey, but the symbolic meaning is pretty laid out together with the vid.

    The video is great, but focusing on the video too much has caused interpreters to fail to comment on genius of the pun mentioned in the title. What I am referring to is the "cold one" mentioned in the title. These two words refer to both alcohol and the coldness of death. Since alcoholism and death are two of the classic themes of bluesy country songs, this song succeeds wonderfully well as country blues do to this two word pun.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blue
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.
