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.
It's 4 am
The paperboy's at it again
But I can't get no sleep
I mean what's the point?
If I can't even dream up a dream
That's worth the keep
And so there's no need in even going
Cause I'm better off never knowing
You know the media's getting
Really good at lying
And this time around
I'm not buying
'Cause this life is a beautiful one
And though I seen it comin undone
I know most definitely
That it's gonna be you
It's gonna be me
So baby keep your head up
Keep it on the up and up
'Cause you got all myâ?¦
Love love love
'Cause we're all just lovers and takers
Breaking hearts to make the papers
She wants love I told her to stop trying
Cause the reasons for her tears
Aren't worth crying
And this life is a beautiful one
And though I seen it comin undone
Well I know most definitely
That it's gonna be you
It's gonna be me
So baby keep your head up
Keep it on the up and up
'Cause you got all my
Love love love
Loving all around me
I think that love has found me
Loving all the time
And when the summer's here
The waves are crashing
No time for thinking
Don't even ask me
I'm gonna let it all roll right past me
'Cause when I'm here
I'm always happy
And this life is a beautiful one
And though I seen it comin undone
Well I know most definitely
It always works out the way it's meant to be
So baby keep your head up
Keep it on the up and up
And know that you got all my
Love love love
The paperboy's at it again
But I can't get no sleep
I mean what's the point?
If I can't even dream up a dream
That's worth the keep
And so there's no need in even going
Cause I'm better off never knowing
You know the media's getting
Really good at lying
And this time around
I'm not buying
'Cause this life is a beautiful one
And though I seen it comin undone
I know most definitely
That it's gonna be you
It's gonna be me
So baby keep your head up
Keep it on the up and up
'Cause you got all myâ?¦
Love love love
'Cause we're all just lovers and takers
Breaking hearts to make the papers
She wants love I told her to stop trying
Cause the reasons for her tears
Aren't worth crying
And this life is a beautiful one
And though I seen it comin undone
Well I know most definitely
That it's gonna be you
It's gonna be me
So baby keep your head up
Keep it on the up and up
'Cause you got all my
Love love love
Loving all around me
I think that love has found me
Loving all the time
And when the summer's here
The waves are crashing
No time for thinking
Don't even ask me
I'm gonna let it all roll right past me
'Cause when I'm here
I'm always happy
And this life is a beautiful one
And though I seen it comin undone
Well I know most definitely
It always works out the way it's meant to be
So baby keep your head up
Keep it on the up and up
And know that you got all my
Love love love

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

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.
