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's no control in the world today
and there's still no order to this game we all play
Maybe none of us know what's real
There's no constraint when the walls cave in
the neuron turn on, the game begins to fade away
Maybe none of us know, maybe none of us want to hear
never push against the flow aimlessly
Feel the flow and let all thought fade, we shall be one
For this sacrament has begun
Lucy in the sky with diamond eyes
long since dark, I wear her disguise of light
Maybe none of us know, maybe none of us want to hear
never push against the flow aimlessly
Feel the flow and let all thought fade, we shall be one
For this sacrament has begun
This sacrament is a state of mind
There's no control in the world today
and there's still no order to this game we all play called life
Maybe none of us know, maybe none of us want to hear
never push against the flow aimlessly
Feel the flow and let all thought fade
we shall be one
Through this sacrament
Feel the flow and let all thought fade, we shall be one
For this sacrament has begun, this sacrament has begun
To become one with the flow is to realize purpose
To realize purpose is to become one with the flow
Become one with the flow, become one with the flow
This sacrament has begun
and there's still no order to this game we all play
Maybe none of us know what's real
There's no constraint when the walls cave in
the neuron turn on, the game begins to fade away
Maybe none of us know, maybe none of us want to hear
never push against the flow aimlessly
Feel the flow and let all thought fade, we shall be one
For this sacrament has begun
Lucy in the sky with diamond eyes
long since dark, I wear her disguise of light
Maybe none of us know, maybe none of us want to hear
never push against the flow aimlessly
Feel the flow and let all thought fade, we shall be one
For this sacrament has begun
This sacrament is a state of mind
There's no control in the world today
and there's still no order to this game we all play called life
Maybe none of us know, maybe none of us want to hear
never push against the flow aimlessly
Feel the flow and let all thought fade
we shall be one
Through this sacrament
Feel the flow and let all thought fade, we shall be one
For this sacrament has begun, this sacrament has begun
To become one with the flow is to realize purpose
To realize purpose is to become one with the flow
Become one with the flow, become one with the flow
This sacrament has begun

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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
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
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.
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.
both solos are played by loomis, and if you doubt it then well, you're retarded
the second (part) of the solo (3:30 onwards till end of solo ) is the foreshadowing to the solo found in Narcosynthesis which is on the album after politics of ecstacy, guess who created that solo (duh, his name starts with l and ends in s)
and i've seen em play it live, loomis plays the whole thing
