This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm writing a song all about you
A true song as real as my tears
But you've no need to fear it
'Cause no one will hear it
Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year
I'll tell all about how you cheated
I'd like for the whole world to hear
I'd like to get even
With you 'cause you're leavin'
But sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year
It's a good thing that I'm not a star
You don't know how lucky you are
Though my record may say it
No one will play it
Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year (alright)
It's a good thing that I'm not a star
You don't know how lucky you are
Though my record may say it
No one will play it
Sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year (alright)

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I suspect that Willie Nelson appreciates this cover a great deal. As the last song on Fashion Nugget, it really caps off the album with a nice, self-mocking tone. The spare musical style of Cake highlights the lyrics.
ButtOfMalmsey, you're so right. They also really manage to duplicate Willie's sound. This was the first version of this song that I heard and it was also the first time I had ever heard any Willie Nelson. Later when I heard more Williw, I said to myself, "Man, this sounds like Cake!" Although that was just probably Cake doing too good of a cover.
It's an awesome song; one of my favorites on Fashion Nugget. I didn't realize it was a cover for a long time because it is so like Cake in overall tone.
the third... THIRD cover song on this album!
So what if it's the third cover song on the album? Cake picks great songs to cover, and they make them their own.
i think this song is straight forward. no metaphoric reasoning what-so-ever.
It's an awesome song; one of my favorites on Fashion Nugget. I didn't realize it was a cover for a long time because it is so like Cake in overall tone.
More praise as a final song on Fashion Nugget, definately.
Clever Cake.
same thing in this song, willywillywilly, only it isn't well publicized in the song, so the publication of the divorce fails.
My girlfriend cheated on me, its a good thing sad songs and waltzs arent selling this year, its good thing that im not a star, she doesnt know how lucky she is...
