This bright eyed girl I know
She went to the expo and she made waves
With the grace that she gave
Now, she’s on a lake
But she doesn’t leave a wake, her engine froze
But this girl knows
It’s alright
In the air, she breathes light
She makes her mark
Reflection’s bright
In the glare, she just might
Leave it parked
The weight she holds
She never folds, I’d wait in line
Just to hold her up high
And so she shines, made of Escher lines
Physics has no place
At this girl’s pace
It’s alright
On the stairs, she climbs light
She leaves her mark
Perfection’s blight
In her prayers, she just might
Leave it parked
She doesn’t mind the check engine light
And it’s orange glow
Because she’s got seeds to sow
So she drives
And it keeps her alive, her faith is strong
That she’ll roll along
It’s alright
The weather’s fair in the moonlight
Ready, on her mark
Her timing’s tight, on a dare she puts it in drive
And gets her start
Yeah, she gets her start

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
