In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

It's Bad Boy bitch
Do it [14x]
[Nicole and Diddy]
Relax your mind
Let your conscience be free
You're now rollin with the sounds of the BBE
Do it [14x]
[Diddy]
You know what time it is
Report to the dance floor
Talk to em
[Nicole]
It's Bad Boy bitch
See you out the corner of my eye
Leanin on the wall lookin fly
(I) I (want) want (you) you (to) to (come) come (be) be (with) with (me) me
You're the only one I wanna talk to
But I don't wanna rush
(I'm) I'm (here) here (when) when (will) will (you) you (make) make (your) your (move) move
[Chorus - Nicole]
I see you eyein me
I want ya
Why don't ya
Come to me

What you need
Ooh baby
I'm standin here waitin
I'm yearnin
Ooh I'm burnin
Get to know
Come and get to know me
Come show me that you wanna know me
[Diddy - 1st verse]
You know what it is
I'm back in the buildin
Security strapped
Still stackin a million
Stumbled a stallion, somethin Italian
Or maybe Puerto Rican, you can catch me in Paris
I'm in it to win it and willin to carry
The game, if you think I'm not look at the carrots
Hop up clean, Up outta the Phantom
The people go screamin like a opera anthem
I did it before, Do it again
Got it to blow, got it to spin
Flies before, cool as the wind
Got hits go back like Juice and Gin, yeah
Shine the best in diamond necklaces
My extravagant taste and style perplexes them
They know I'm the shit, they wanna get next to him
She havin a fit cause she wanna get next to him
[Bridge - Nicole]
(I'm) I'm (here) here (when) when (will) will (you) you (make) make (your) your (move) move
[Chorus - Nicole]
I see you eyein me
I want ya
Why don't ya
Come to me
I can be
What you need
Ooh baby
I'm standin here waitin
I'm yearnin
Ooh I'm burnin
Get to know
Come and get to know me
Come show me that you wanna know me
[Diddy - 2nd verse]
Anywhere I appear they all stop and stare, admire
Your body language speakin loud and clear like,
(Nicole) I want you to come be with me
She been waitin, anticipatin for oh so long
Fantisizin wild thoughts of me comin on like,
(Nicole) I'm here when will you make your move
Ya diggin my style, my swag, my sway, my swerve
My way with words, the boy's obsurd for sure
You can't fall till my ora called her
I make miracles like I walk on water
What you want, mama order
It's on my tab, what's so bad with that cash
I drop a whole bag
Where you at girl
[Bridge - Nicole]
(I'm) I'm (here) here (when) when (will) will (you) you (make) make (your) your (move) move
[Chorus - Nicole]
I see you eyein me

Why don't ya
Come to me

What you need
Ooh baby
I'm standin here waitin
I'm yearnin
Ooh I'm burnin
Get to know
Come and get to know me
Come show me that you wanna know me
[Nicole]
I'm here I really can't wait no longer
You were the one who stole my heart
Can't you see the wait is over
I need you to come closer
This feeling is getting strong
You really got me high
[Chorus - Nicole]

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.
yeah I like it....what else am I suppose to say?
