Stay illogical
Bet you can't think
That we fell in love, no
So stay illogical
Bet you can't think
That we fell in love, no

At least I tried to help her
At least I tried to tell her
About you
About you(2x)

Stay illogical
What a surprise
You lost your soul
I tried and fell short
And now that your blind
You can't ignore

At least I tried to help her
At least I tried to tell her
About you
About you(2x)

Right before your eyes
How do you do
How do you do
Right before your eyes
How do you do
How do you do

At least I tried to help her
At least I tried to tell her
About you
About you

    Reminds me of how I felt about the girl my ex dated after me. The girl before me tried to warn me about him, and then when I didn't listen, I had to go through hell with him, and wound up trying to warn the girl after me. Apparently it's happened to him a lot.

    I mean, I moved on and all. The guy I dated after him was the best ever (this also happens to him a lot), and we're married now. But I cringe every time I see that he's found a new girl.

    It is "But you can't think we fell in love" Not bet. That one word changes the whole song. I always thought it was about an attraction, mainly physical but it wasn't love. Maybe an affair because of the "at least I tryed to tell her about you." "what a surprise you lost your soul i tried and fell short and now that your blind you cant ignore" I think its like he tryed for love but fell short so it's no suprise she lost herself and is all alone now. Now that she's blind she can't ignore what they had. Only I think blind means completely clear headed. Then the "right before your eyes, how do you do" is saying well this is where we stand we might as well go on from here. That's my interpretation more or less. Love the song. I even think the instrumentals tell the story very well.

The Night We Met
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"

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
