Let's get it on!

I think it's been too long
For this to all go wrong
You lost but thought you'd win
I won't try this again

You played yourself in front of me
To save yourself some dignity
And if you die before you should
At least you know that you'll look good

So tell me how's the rest
I'm fine with second best
It's all that I can say
Not coming back this way

For all the kids you say you hate
But now you say it's only fate
So if you die before you wake
I pray the Lord do not look fake

You'll never be ready for me
You'll never be ready for me

So this is how it ends
Redefine all your friends
It doesn't have to be
This way for you or me

You played yourself in front of me
To save yourself some dignity
If you die before you should
At least you know that'll you'll look good

You'll never be ready for me
You'll never be ready for me

    Wow, it goes from such a slow and calm song to this lol. Quite unexpected, but eh, I dont mind. It`s a really good song, and I agree with ozpics.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
