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.
Someday I hope to say I tried everything I could
I'm not sure I won the war, but you never fought so good
Should I take a longer view?
Should I take my time and follow through?
It's all I can do to keep breathing....
cho.
Is somebody out there to keep me in the fight?
Is somebody out there to take my side?
Is somebody out there to ease my troubled mind?
‘Cause I need someone with time to spare
I get caught all alone out there everytime
I find no room to grow when I look inside my soul
But I swear, there was something there that somebody came and stole
Same cross, different day
You get lost somewhere along the way
When there's no one left to believe in
cho.
Same cross, different day
You get lost somewhere along the way
When there's no one left to believe in you
Is somebody out there to keep me in the fight?
Is somebody out there to take my side?
Is somebody out there to ease my troubled mind?
‘Cause I need someone with time to spare
I get caught all alone out there everytime
I'm easy to find
Don't leave me behind
Don't leave me behind
No...
I'm not sure I won the war, but you never fought so good
Should I take a longer view?
Should I take my time and follow through?
It's all I can do to keep breathing....
cho.
Is somebody out there to keep me in the fight?
Is somebody out there to take my side?
Is somebody out there to ease my troubled mind?
‘Cause I need someone with time to spare
I get caught all alone out there everytime
I find no room to grow when I look inside my soul
But I swear, there was something there that somebody came and stole
Same cross, different day
You get lost somewhere along the way
When there's no one left to believe in
cho.
Same cross, different day
You get lost somewhere along the way
When there's no one left to believe in you
Is somebody out there to keep me in the fight?
Is somebody out there to take my side?
Is somebody out there to ease my troubled mind?
‘Cause I need someone with time to spare
I get caught all alone out there everytime
I'm easy to find
Don't leave me behind
Don't leave me behind
No...

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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 song is for everyone who's ever felt alone and wondered if there is actually anyone out there to help them get through life. It is such a great song and as always Caleb pours his heart and soul through the song.
