How sick is this?
How sick is this?

You know, you know
You wanna call me back
You know, you know
You wanna call me back
You know, you know
You wanna call me back, oh

[Bridge:]
Hold up, I think you're cutting out
Hold up, I think you're cutting out
Hold up, I think I'm losing you
Hold up, I think I'm losing you
Tell me, can you hear me now?
Tell me, can you hear me now?
Tell me, can you hear me now?
Tell me, can you hear me now?

[Chorus:]
We're breakin' up
Oh, oh, oh
We're breakin' up
Oh, oh, oh
We're breakin' up
Oh, oh, oh
We're breakin' up
Oh, oh, oh

Finally get ya on the phone
And our connection's all wrong
You're acting like I'm slower than you are
And my batteries get low

Get me charged up, or you will regret it
I need to call you back so I can hear you better
'Bout to end the conversation altogether
Yeah

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Come on, give a little love
Why aren't you calling me back?
K, now I'll call you at home
And leave another sorry message

Why's it have to get so complicated?
Acting so cold, refrigerated
Got your voice mail on, I'm so frustrated
Yeah

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

I hate it when the signal drop on my cell phone
Just tryin' to talk before my battery's gone
I'm not in the mood for your stupid ring tones
I want my battery charged, and I want you in my zone

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
