I've made it so hard on myself, turning my back on how you felt
Seeing a lie that led me on, leaving a love that did no wrong
That's what it took for me to say

That you simply love
Despite all the stupid things I've done
It's hard to remember
That you simply love
Even though I know not what I've done
It's hard to remember
That you simply love

I've tried to do all this on my own
Not thinking once of what you've shown
All that I've done has blinded me
To everything that you have for me
I want you to know that I finally see

I don't know why I can't understand
I don't know why I can't comprehend

    This song is about how you can do so many stupid things in your life, but Jesus will still forgive you, and love you no matter what you do or what you've done. You can ignore him all you want, but when the time comes, He'll be there waiting for you. He simply loves 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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
