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.
We ran through strawberry fields and smelt the summer time,
When it gets dark I'll hold your body next to mine,
Then we'll find some wood and hell we'll build a fire,
And then we'll find some rope and make a string guitar.
Captivated by the way you look tonight
the light is dancing in your eyes
Your sweet eyes
Times like these we'll never forget
Staying out to watch the sunset
I'm glad I shared this with you
You set me free
Showed me how good my life could be
How did you happen to me
Yeahhh aww
And then I'll swing you girl until you fall asleep
And when you wake up you'll be lying next to me
We'll go to Hollywood make you a movie star
I want the the world to know how beautiful you are
Captivated by the way you look tonight
the light is dancing in your eyes
Your sweet eyes
Times like these we'll never forget
Staying out to watch the sunset
I'm glad I shared this with you
You set me free
Showed me how good my life could be
How did you happen to me
Yeahhh aww
There are no secrets anymore
Nothing we don't already know
There are no fears of growing old
We've got no worries in the world

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,
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.
American Town
