Whatever Made You

Closure

Soaking in my own suspicion
You rattle off in all directions
I can tell the glow is wearing thin
I have made up my mind
You're way out of line
I feel the end

Whatever made you hate me
I'll never say I'm sorry
whatever made you hate me, hate me
I can't deny you what's inside you
So caught up to notice
I'm leaving, I know that you'll be
The one who's saying sorry

There used to be so much between us
And now the love is black and bleeding
I can't think of anything that I did wrong
I have made up my mind
You're way outta line
And now I'm gone

Whatever made you hate me
I'll never say I'm sorry
whatever made you hate me, hate me
I can't deny you what's inside you
So caught up to notice
I'm leaving, I know that you'll be
The one who's saying sorry

I'm good to go
I'm so sick of you accusing me now
Now you've sunk to an all time low
'Cause I found out you're the one
Who's fucking around

Whatever dulls your conscience
Whoever lights your darkness
I hope it makes you happy

Whatever made you hate me
I'll never say I'm sorry
Whatever made you hate me, hate me
I can't deny you what's inside you

So caught up to notice
I'm leaving, I know that you'll be
The one who's saying sorry
The one who's saying sorry

I can't deny you what's inside you
The one who's saying sorry
I can't deny you what's inside you
The one who's saying sorry
I can't deny you what's inside you

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Fast Car
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.

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
