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”
Baby, you've been going so crazy
Lately, nothing seems to be going right
So low, why'd you have to get so low?
You're so
You've been waiting in the sun too long
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
Colder, crying over your shoulder
Hold her, and tell her everything's gonna be fine
Surely, you've been going too early
Hurry, 'cause no one's gonna be stopped
Now, now, now, now, now
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
Baby, there's something going on today
But I say nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
So, now, now, now, now, now
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
Ah, baby, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
Lately, nothing seems to be going right
So low, why'd you have to get so low?
You're so
You've been waiting in the sun too long
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing
Colder, crying over your shoulder
Hold her, and tell her everything's gonna be fine
Surely, you've been going too early
Hurry, 'cause no one's gonna be stopped
Now, now, now, now, now
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
Baby, there's something going on today
But I say nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
So, now, now, now, now, now
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
Ah, baby, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing

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,

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.

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.
Apparantly this song was written by Fran to encourage his wife to sing when he is around. He was frustrated by the fact that when she was alone, driving solo for example, she would belt out the tunes, but when they were together she would never sing a peep. The song is about forgetting your inhibitions and petty insecurities in a relationship and instead embracing who you are, even if you think it is embarassing.
I read that this song for Nora who is Fran's girlfriend. she was embarrassed, she sang front of Fran.So he sing "sing,sing,sing". It's really cute and funny. and I love this song!!!
I think it's quite nice and I really like the video, with the food battle and the little monkey
20 years and counting
this songs about expressing your feelings when needed, in my opinion..
it means when you're blue, sing, sing a song!
sing it proud, sing it strong. son't worry if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear. just sing, sing a song.
I feel this song's about just singing whenever you get down or anything, coz you feel better. That's what i do. And when you sing, you sing with your heart. :-)
just a side note, according to Fran, his wife now sings in front of him
When I heard this at first time i was crying. I was so upset, but when i started to listen this and look at the video i started to smile :) This song makes me happy! sorry for my bad english
