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.
There is a place where,
there is a place where,
there is a place where,
there is a place where,
there is a place where,
there is a place where,
there is a place where,
there is a place where no clouds go.
And you know
that when you go
no one may follow
no one may follow.
When we arrived in picturesque paradise
we lay on our backs and the open sky looked so nice.
This is a place where your legs don't chaffe
can't come back I gotta' swim in synch with the north star.
there is a place where,
there is a place where,
there is a place where,
there is a place where,
there is a place where,
there is a place where,
there is a place where no clouds go.
And you know
that when you go
no one may follow
no one may follow.
When we arrived in picturesque paradise
we lay on our backs and the open sky looked so nice.
This is a place where your legs don't chaffe
can't come back I gotta' swim in synch with the north star.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This isn't a Unicorns song. It was only played live once, and was actually an AMPAC song
this is my absolute favorite unicorns song, but it got erased from my computer and now i cant find it anywhere. if anyone has it let me know so i can get it from you.
i have a really shitty bootleg of it, if you're willing to take it.
it's on their 'three inches of blood' album, if that helps?
no it isnt
by the way, one of my fave unicorns songs ever. schweeeeet.

There is a place where no clouds go...
Almost identical to Arcade Fire's (their fellow band)
We know a place where no planes go We know a place where no ships go No cars go... blah blah no space ships go blah blah no subs go etc...
The second part of the song with the clear drums is so awesome.
