This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I have been in love and been alone
I have traveled over many miles to find a home
There's that little place inside of me
That I never thought could take control of everything
But now I just spend all my time with anyone
Who makes me feel the way she does
'Cause I only feel alive when I dream at night (alive)
Even though she's not real it's all right
'Cause I only feel alive when I dream at night (alive)
Every move that she makes holds my eyes
And I fall for her every time
I've so many things I want to say
I'll be ready when the perfect moment comes my way
I had never known what's right for me
'Till the night she opened up my heart and set it free
But now I just spend all my time with anyone
Who makes me feel the way she does
'Cause I only feel alive when I dream at night (alive)
Even though she's not real it's all right
'Cause I only feel alive when I dream at night (alive)
Every move that she makes holds my eyes
And I fall for her every time
Now I just spend all my time with anyone
Who makes me feel the way she does
'Cause I only feel alive (only feel alive)
When I dream at night (when you're by my side)
Even though she's not real it's all right
(That's all right baby, that's all right baby)
'Cause I only feel alive (alive) (oh-oh-oh)
When I dream at night (alive)
Even though she's not real it's all right (oh when I'm by your side)
I have traveled over many miles to find a home
There's that little place inside of me
That I never thought could take control of everything
But now I just spend all my time with anyone
Who makes me feel the way she does
'Cause I only feel alive when I dream at night (alive)
Even though she's not real it's all right
'Cause I only feel alive when I dream at night (alive)
Every move that she makes holds my eyes
And I fall for her every time
I've so many things I want to say
I'll be ready when the perfect moment comes my way
I had never known what's right for me
'Till the night she opened up my heart and set it free
But now I just spend all my time with anyone
Who makes me feel the way she does
'Cause I only feel alive when I dream at night (alive)
Even though she's not real it's all right
'Cause I only feel alive when I dream at night (alive)
Every move that she makes holds my eyes
And I fall for her every time
Now I just spend all my time with anyone
Who makes me feel the way she does
'Cause I only feel alive (only feel alive)
When I dream at night (when you're by my side)
Even though she's not real it's all right
(That's all right baby, that's all right baby)
'Cause I only feel alive (alive) (oh-oh-oh)
When I dream at night (alive)
Even though she's not real it's all right (oh when I'm by your side)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I believe the song is about how we all have an image in our mind of the perfect partner, and how that same image makes us chase after different partners in search of a match to that perfect image in our mind leaving us deeply unsatisfied and lost.. And regardless of whether we settle down for someone, we would still love that image secretly "in our dreams" and not reveal it to anyone. A grand illusion that never becomes a reality.
