This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
(spoken):
I was shopping the other day at a local market
& I looked around & looked over there & said,
"That looks like...who it is. I think I'll go over there & say hello."
Hello stranger, I haven't seen you around
How have you been doing with that new love you found?
Stranger, oh stranger, have you been blue?
Have you been missing me like I've been missing you?
Stranger, oh stranger, is he treatin' my children right?
Does he tell them bedtime stories
& does he tuck 'em in, kiss 'em
& make 'em say their prayers every night?
Stranger, oh stranger, now I realize what you said
That you can't find happiness, no
Laying in another woman's bed
Stranger, oh stranger, hello & goodbye
I guess I'd better keep right on movin'
'Cause I just don't, I just don't want you to see my cry
(spoken):
Honey, tell the children that Daddy still loves 'em
& it was all a misunderstanding
& if they ever need or want anything, you know I'll always be right there
Oh stranger, oh stranger, if you should ever change your mind
Just find yourself a telephone & dial lovin' 456789
Oh stranger, oh stranger, eyes I'll walk away
I want you to know that (I love you x6)
Oh stranger, I love you...& fade

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
