In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Three Years Ago I Ran Away With You,
I Didn't Know What Else To Do,
My Parents Felt That They Co( The Reason I Could Tell)
I'd be spendin my life with you
sober days have falled before us
Who knows whats gunna happen next time
Theres one thing that you can be sure of, I ain't goin nowhere
Without you.
Wonderin' how much your love costs.
Mine will never be too much,
I could write the greatest song but it'd never be good enough
so why should I even try?
sober days have falled before us
Who knows whats gunna happen next time
Theres one thing that you can be sure of, I ain't goin nowhere
Six long weeks on the road
while your sitting by yourself at Home
just six more weeks on the road
I hope your there when i get home
sober days have falled before us
Who knows whats gunna happen next time
Theres one thing that you can be sure of, I ain't goin nowhere
Without You..
I Didn't Know What Else To Do,
My Parents Felt That They Co( The Reason I Could Tell)
I'd be spendin my life with you
sober days have falled before us
Who knows whats gunna happen next time
Theres one thing that you can be sure of, I ain't goin nowhere
Without you.
Wonderin' how much your love costs.
Mine will never be too much,
I could write the greatest song but it'd never be good enough
so why should I even try?
sober days have falled before us
Who knows whats gunna happen next time
Theres one thing that you can be sure of, I ain't goin nowhere
Six long weeks on the road
while your sitting by yourself at Home
just six more weeks on the road
I hope your there when i get home
sober days have falled before us
Who knows whats gunna happen next time
Theres one thing that you can be sure of, I ain't goin nowhere
Without You..

Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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
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.
The most beautiful song I have ever heard, ever.
so beautiful.... havent heard in forever
This song.... this band, I love it to death. I heard this song on the Xbox game: Amped Snowboarding, 3 years ago.. fell in love with it ever since, wish I could get one of their CDs. They broke up a while ago though sadly.
