Setting up Sunday
Watching the winter grow
So old
No
Oh, we're making excuses
For insecurities
It's not about me
It's never about me

Now I can't go on
I'm lost and alone
Now we're lovers gone
I'm lost and alone

Kid, I'm right here
And I'm not leaving
There's no way to make you stay
But I'm saving all my worries for that day you don't need me

Selling out Monday
Watching the children grow
So Cold
No
Oh, they're weighing our hands down
Our human frailities
It's not about me
It's never about me

Now I can't go on
I'm lost and alone
Now we're lovers gone
I'm lost and alone

Kid, I'm right here
And I'm not leaving
There's no way to make you stay
But I'm saving all my worries for the day you don't need me

Kid, I'm right here
It's now morning
There's no way
Please stay
Stay

Setting up Sunday
Watching their hearts in soil
Go mold

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,

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.

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.
