From where I'm standing
You're the quiet side of the road
You're looking so lonely
And I can't stop looking at you
Your head is hanging
Trying to beat those goodbye blues
I bet you'll be fine
I bet you'll be fine

I guess it's not the way
You always planned it
Looks like you're heading for a
Crash landing
That's just the way it looks
From where I'm standing
From where I'm standing

from where I'm standing
I think I caught your eye
Are you looking at me
Cause I swear I saw you smile
And I'm coming over
Gonna take things off your mind
And I bet you'll be fine
And I bet you'll be fine

I guess it's not the way
You always planned it
Looks like you're heading for a
Crash landing
That's just the way it looks
From where I'm standing

from where I'm standing
Let it fall
Let it come down
Let it crash around you
Around you

I guess it's not the way
You always planned it
Looks like you're heading for a
Crash landing
That's just the way it looks
From where I'm standing
That's just the way it looks
From where I'm standing
From where I'm standing
I might make you mine
I might make you mine
From where I'm standing

    I think it's about a boy she sees who is in a really dark place in life and she sees him and is immediately attracted to him and wants to become close with him.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
