The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
The galdem rush to feel the ill touch
Galdem ball and gal them a scream
They think ita love but a lust
That's why a bad gal beside is a must for I bust
She's the angel of me conscious yo yo yo
Never thought that I could feel something so strong
I wanna hold on to this moment before its gone
I wanna hold your body close its callin' to me
And when i look into your eyes I'm likin' what I see
Boy don't hold back from me
Just give me everything you got
I wonder I can keep
I know your gonna keep it hot
I catch a rush boy whenever we touch I go crazy
I'm feeling you baby
I dream like this boy whenever we kiss I can't take it
You know I can't fake it
Yo yo yo
Well I'm back with the boys and I knowin' that
Don't watch my face my gal you know I'm coming back
Most of mea gal them slide off easy like a thunderclap
When I see you from the back you know me need all a dat yo yo yo
Don't even know your name
But this feels so right
Its like I known you boy for all of my life
Don't need to say a word
We both understand
And my eyes are telling you
Catch me if you can
I'm falling faster now
You know you got me where you want
Too late I can't slow down
No way we're ever gonna stop
I catch a rush boy whenever we touch I go crazy
I'm feeling you baby
I dream like this boy whenever we kiss I can't take it
You know I can't fake it
You know I can't take it
You know I can't fake it, no, no
My girl turn it around and cut it out
And come a little close so you feel what I'm 'bout here

You know I can't fake it
I catch a rush boy whenever we touch I go crazy

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
AMAZING
I love this song <3
