God is light
Light is good
God is good

There's a bag lady siften through trash in my neighborhood
Asked for a light, ya know I understood

God is light
Light is good
God is good

Where you gonna run when they come for you?

Have you heard about the infant born with a handgun
Shot his twin brother coming out now he's an only son
He's a good boy, wait and see
We'll rehabilitate him one-two-three

God is light
Light is good
God is good

Where you gonna run when they come for you?
They'll hear you playing your guitar

Hey Saint Augustine
There's a flaw you see
You've reasoned quite
Illogically

God is light
Light is good
God is good

Where you gonna run when they come for you?
They'll hear you playing your guitar

God is light
Light is good
God is good

Where you gonna run when they come for you?
Where you gonna run when they come for you?
Where you gonna run when they come for you?

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
