You, I wish I knew you better
Then again I can wait 'till next September
Slowly buying time
These conditions make me restless
Then again I admit that this will test us
'cause everywhere now
I can see the number one followed by the nine
I wonder if a year or two will matter because I'm...
Dreaming of you, all day
Hardly seems appropriate
Just drifting through, all day
No one seems to notice it
You, I dreamt the seven towers
Were slowly falling down
And in the last remaining hours
Still everywhere now
I could see the number one followed by the nine
Just this once I think that I might cast the rules aside
Dreaming of you, all day
Hardly seems appropriate
Just drifting through, all day
No one seems to notice it
Everyone's behind us
We don't dare lead the blindest
Still the promise of the victory
Eliminates stakes against me
Dreaming of you, all day
Hardly seems appropriate
Just drifting through, all day
No one seems to notice it
You, I wish I knew you better
You, I wish I knew you better
Then again I can wait 'till next September
Slowly buying time
These conditions make me restless
Then again I admit that this will test us
'cause everywhere now
I can see the number one followed by the nine
I wonder if a year or two will matter because I'm...
Dreaming of you, all day
Hardly seems appropriate
Just drifting through, all day
No one seems to notice it
You, I dreamt the seven towers
Were slowly falling down
And in the last remaining hours
Still everywhere now
I could see the number one followed by the nine
Just this once I think that I might cast the rules aside
Dreaming of you, all day
Hardly seems appropriate
Just drifting through, all day
No one seems to notice it
Everyone's behind us
We don't dare lead the blindest
Still the promise of the victory
Eliminates stakes against me
Dreaming of you, all day
Hardly seems appropriate
Just drifting through, all day
No one seems to notice it
You, I wish I knew you better

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
fromadistantsun, I think you hit the nail on the head. I think the lyrics are from the point of view of a college professor who is attracted to a 19 year old student. He also references 'next September' and "I wonder if a year or two will matter..".
