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.
I'm tired of my life.
I feel so in between.
I'm sick of all my friends, girls can be so mean
I feel like throwin' out everything I wear
I'm startin' over new,
Cause I'm not even there.
Sometimes,
I wanna get away some place,
But I don't wanna stay too long.
Sometimes,
I want a brand new day,
Trying to fit in where I don't belong
Hook hook me up.
I wanna feel the rain in my hair.
Hook hook me up.
Where should we go I don't even care.
Anywhere is good enough.
Hook me up.
Hook me up.
I like the lights turned out,
The sound of closing doors.
I'm not like other girls,
Who always feel so sure.
Of everything they are,
Of what their gonna be.
Sometimes I'm just a girl stuck inside of me (of me)
Sometimes,
I wanna disappear some place,
But I don't wanna stay too long.
Sometimes,
I'm feeling so alone,
Trying to fit in where I don't belong.
Hook hook me up.
I wanna feel the rain in my hair.
Hook hook me up.
Where should we go I don't even care.
Anywhere is good enough.
Hook me up.
Hook me up.
Anywhere is good enough
Hook me up
Not gonna crash and burn,
I'm gonna find a way,
Nothing left to say
Hook hook me up.
I wanna feel the rain in my hair.
Hook hook me up.
Where should we go I don't even care.
Hook hook me up.
I wanna feel the rain in my hair.
Hook hook me up.
Where should we go I don't even care.
Anywhere is good enough
Hook me up
Hook me up
Hook me up
I feel so in between.
I'm sick of all my friends, girls can be so mean
I feel like throwin' out everything I wear
I'm startin' over new,
Cause I'm not even there.
Sometimes,
I wanna get away some place,
But I don't wanna stay too long.
Sometimes,
I want a brand new day,
Trying to fit in where I don't belong
Hook hook me up.
I wanna feel the rain in my hair.
Hook hook me up.
Where should we go I don't even care.
Anywhere is good enough.
Hook me up.
Hook me up.
I like the lights turned out,
The sound of closing doors.
I'm not like other girls,
Who always feel so sure.
Of everything they are,
Of what their gonna be.
Sometimes I'm just a girl stuck inside of me (of me)
Sometimes,
I wanna disappear some place,
But I don't wanna stay too long.
Sometimes,
I'm feeling so alone,
Trying to fit in where I don't belong.
Hook hook me up.
I wanna feel the rain in my hair.
Hook hook me up.
Where should we go I don't even care.
Anywhere is good enough.
Hook me up.
Hook me up.
Anywhere is good enough
Hook me up
Not gonna crash and burn,
I'm gonna find a way,
Nothing left to say
Hook hook me up.
I wanna feel the rain in my hair.
Hook hook me up.
Where should we go I don't even care.
Hook hook me up.
I wanna feel the rain in my hair.
Hook hook me up.
Where should we go I don't even care.
Anywhere is good enough
Hook me up
Hook me up
Hook me up

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
