This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Hey, hey, baby
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
This is the big goodbye
Remember baby
Dreams we shared
We ran with crazies
Lived on solid air
Do you remember lady
Who you used to be
Did you become the stranger
Baby you or me
I guess you were just tryin'
To keep a love alive
But baby all your lyin'
Just took it for a ride
Huh huh!
A man of constant sorrow
Under an evil eye
Oh baby when it's over
The truth is first to die
Oh I believe in magic
Fire that binds a band
Baby there's no magic
In hidin' sleight of hand
I guess that I was tryin'
To keep myself alive
But then there's no denyin'
I was losin' all my pride
Hey, hey, baby
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
This is the big goodbye
I guess you were just tryin'
To buy some piece of mind
But baby there's no buyin'
Eyesight for the blind
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
This is the big goodbye
Remember baby
Dreams we shared
We ran with crazies
Lived on solid air
Do you remember lady
Who you used to be
Did you become the stranger
Baby you or me
I guess you were just tryin'
To keep a love alive
But baby all your lyin'
Just took it for a ride
Huh huh!
A man of constant sorrow
Under an evil eye
Oh baby when it's over
The truth is first to die
Oh I believe in magic
Fire that binds a band
Baby there's no magic
In hidin' sleight of hand
I guess that I was tryin'
To keep myself alive
But then there's no denyin'
I was losin' all my pride
Hey, hey, baby
No more lies
Hey, hey, baby
This is the big goodbye
I guess you were just tryin'
To buy some piece of mind
But baby there's no buyin'
Eyesight for the blind

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,
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.
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.
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.
