April Suits

Taproot

Ohh!
- Ohh!
Ohh!
- Ohh!
Ohh-ohh!

How could you abandon me?
I thought you'd always be
There for me, standing tall
One and one for all

My support modelling
Rolling as a team
But instead on our own
Enemies of old

Seasons change, the falling rain
Will wash the pain away
Making amends to help understand
How to live to today

Ohh!
Ohh!
Ohh!
Ohh-Fuck!

It's not your fault, I understand
Now I'm more a man
You needed space to find yourself
And I'm in the same place now

Living dreams dreaming new
Springing forward to
Choose a life to get me by
Not a life that passes by

Seasons change, the falling rain
Will wash the pain away
Making amends to help understand
How to live to today

On we
March in our April suits
On, We
March in our April boots
On we fucking!
March in our April suits
March in our April boots

Seasons change, the falling rain
Will wash the pain away
Making amends to help understand
How to live to today

Seasons change, the falling rain
Will wash the pain away
Making amends to help understand
How to live to today

Ohh!
Ohh!
Ohh!
Ohh!

Ohh!
Ohh!
Ohh!
Ohh!

Ohh!
Ohh!

    to me... yes, this is about a breakup. What makes it interesting is that midway through, rather than continuing to complain about it, he realizes what happened. Its like time passed and now he gets why she needed space. He was finally able to put himself in her position.

Fast Car
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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Gentle Hour
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
“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.

Plastic Bag
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.
