Passin' the kind bud. Kickin' back in the sand in the sun.
To be alive is lovin, where the shore meets the sea man
I'm hummin! I'm hummin!

I'm free as I stare at the sea and I'm not coming down.
The world is yours once you have found the good is to share which is elsewhere.

The beauty of green is where light is now broken by what it touches
Remembering what you once have told me hit home and hasn't it always been so?

I'm free as I stare at the sea and I'm not coming down.
The world is yours once you have found the good is to share which is elsewhere.

[Chorus:]
Like I said it before, I'll say it once more,
Knew you would make me feel so good, want to do you right. Can't get enough,
This is the stuff life's about and it trips me out, want to do you right.
I want to do you right.

Bright mornings, days when I want so much, I want nothing.
Just this life and no more.
All come within this world there's only one for me.
She's waiting. I'll soon come

I'm free as I stare at the sea and I'm not coming down.
The world is yours once you have found the good is to share which is elsewhere.

[Chorus]

Free from the burn, the burnin' of spite and free from the burn,
The burnin' of surprise, no buzz hack, no buzz hack, no buzz hack, no buzz hack.
Swing the thing you bring and check it out.
How could you be so good to me? How could you be so good to me?
I want to free, want to be free. Buzz, hack, hack, hack, buzz,
Yes swing to the thing you bring and check it out.

[Chorus]

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
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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
