If you caught me smiling
do you think I'm [laughing?]
Can't you see I'm working?
Look at me I'm boring

What you say about my friend?
Do you think he's funny
Lots of screamy weather
I'm amazed I'm living tonight

Do you suffer from Mental?
Are you dying for Pleasure?
Does it make you feel Better?

I can feel your heartbeat
Can you keep on running?
If your mind is on heat
As the world keeps burning

As she draws her last breath
Will you hear her calling?
Look at her she'd fading
Be a man and suffer tonight

Do you suffer from Mental?
Are you dying for Pleasure?
Does it make you feel Better?

Like the start of nightfall
Are you feeling lonesome?
I believe in action
So I'm moving closer

Look at him he's crying
I'm a towering pillar
And the world is looming
There's a war on terror tonight

Do you suffer from Mental?
Are you dying for Pleasure?
Does it make you feel Better?

    I think it's just about how hard it is living in a fucked-up world.

    I think it's a crazy guy trying to find empathy in a lover.

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,

Blue
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.

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.
