Look at me,
Nothing bad is ever going to happen to you again.
Although you're a solid pile of hate,
You're still pretty like a cake.
Pulling out a bat at the Kill Me Court,
Slaps me that I can't handle you...
But yes, no, yes, no, yes,
Tell me how to live!

Boy Soprano,
Racing me away from here.
Boy Soprano,
Where will go tonight?
Boy Soprano,
Do what you can to shock me.
Boy Soprano,
I hope you make it, I hope you have.

When you get to be my age,
The police don't assume that you still like to light things on fire...
Bearing that in mind I wouldn't trust me either!
But it was the two of us,
Watching two bunnies hope across the Peach Street Gang.
Yes, no, yes, no, yes,
Confide in me; you don't want to die.

Look from the stains on my gloves to the stains on yours,
Thanks for telling me that Vodka is a pansy drink.
But the handball is in your court little boy.

Boy Soprano,
Take me away from here,
Boy Soprano,
Where will we go tonight?
Boy Soprano,
Do what you can to shock me.
Boy Soprano,
I hope you make it, I hope you have.

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,

Magical
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.

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.

Amazing
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.
