Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Ashes fly ashes burn
The sun is black ain't no return
Ashes fly ashes burn
Over and over ain't no need to learn
It's all dust on dust
It's all you and me
Out done completely out played
Just shovel some more dirt on the grave
The choices you make and the choices that are
When hell is so close and heavens so far
Ashes fly and ashes burn
Over and over ain't no need to learn
The sun is black ain't no return
Ashes fly ashes burn
Over and over ain't no need to learn
It's all dust on dust
It's all you and me
Out done completely out played
Just shovel some more dirt on the grave
The choices you make and the choices that are
When hell is so close and heavens so far
Ashes fly and ashes burn
Over and over ain't no need to learn

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
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.
Amazin song!
One of the greatest guitars I have ever heard. It was one of the greatest songs ever made, I can't gt enough of it. Great guitar
It is, perhaps, about how the world is digressing so much in values or perhaps about war? I have not listened to it enough to give an accurate definition yet...
That Proves Zakk Wylde Can Make Something Good Of The Guitar WIther It Slow Or Heavy
This song makes me feel hella good.
have no idea what's it about but it sounds just soo goood, can't get enough of it
This one is about... You bury your friend. Just as you're finished covering the grave you have to shovel some more dirt on the grave. You get the point? Life's been hard on you but it's not going to be any better. As soon as you finish one grave, there is another to dig.
I believe this song is about losing someone close to you. and also it might have something to do with the world going to hell. which it really isnt.
Great Song
