Living in this fantasy, working with reality,
I have come back her again, to touch the sun and feel the rain,
Invitations, conversations, friends to make me strong,
I've seen that light and I watch it shine, living in the world;

Well I believe that destiny is written in the darkest sea,
With every movement that we make, and every footstep that we take,
Inspirations, correlations, where we're meant to be,
There's so much more that I want to know, living in the world;

Oh-oh still the hunger, oh-oh to see it all,
Oh-oh and the wonder of the sunlight in the morning,
And the moonlight on the bay,
I'm singing now;

Oh, oh, oh, living in the world,
Oh, oh, oh, living in the world;

Don't believe a word you read, and only half of what you see,
'Cause there are those who make it up, just to make that extra buck,
And when they write the poison, they will surely get it back,
And I'm still here, and I'm gonna stay, living in the world;

Oh-oh, in the spotlight,
Oh-oh, it can be hard,
Oh-oh, it's a hot light, when it's shining on the tough,
That's when the tough begins to shine,
I'm singing now;

Oh, oh, oh, living in the world,
Oh, oh, oh, living in the world;

I've seen the wonder of the forest in the light,
I've seen the miracle of winter birds in flight,
I've seen the universe come flashing in the night,
Living in the world;

And when they call me, I will be waiting, when it's time to go,
But I'm not ready yet!

Oh, oh, oh, living in the world,
Oh, oh, oh, living in the world.

Living in the world, living in the world

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,

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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
