Hey there's something I wanna share
I'll tell you even though you don't care
Think of all the good times you're gonna have
Don't dwell on the bad times that just makes me mad

Well the sun is shining bright today
Less weight on your head 'cause you managed to get away
Now you've got your freedom, now you've got your chance
Don't just sit around man
Get on your feet, get off your ass

Why can't you just look ahead
Stop dwelling on the bitchy things she said, I know
You've gotta walk before you run
Don't just dream it, go and live it
C'mon bring it on

Hey there's something you need to know
You'll get there, but things are moving kind of slow
Now it's time to try out, things missed in the past
Don't just sit around man
Get on your feet, get off your ass

Well there's hope in your heart today
Living for yourself and you know it's never been this way
Now she's out for good and it's time to sing and dance
Don't just sit around man
Get on your feet, get off your ass

But please take my advice
Don't try and act too nice
Because you don't get chances to make mistakes twice

Hey, there's one thing that's real clear
You're better off without her around here
Nice to have you back and having fun at last
Don't just sit around man
Get on your feet, get off your ass

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,

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.

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.
